Default aldi cement mixer?

Is the aldi cement mixer at £99 a good buy?


No. You're better off hiring, or else big readymix, unless you're in a
very narrow band where you want regular but low-volume use over a long
time. Otherwise owning your own mixer is a right old white heffalump
and you have to store the thing. You've also got to keep cleaning it
out after the neighbours borrowed it.

If you're commercial, go for a Belle because you can get the spare
bits whenever you need them (and it's 110V).

Only time I could see this working is if you were self-building a
house and doing it very, very slowly.
