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

I want to mix some plaster for wall draughtproofing,
and some lime mortar for pointing some bits of walls
over the coming months and years...

Cement Mixer
£99. 00 each *

A high-performance ‘mini mixer’ that’s ideal for small to medium-sized
DIY building projects.

* Drum capacity: 50 litres
* Water capacity: 44 litres
* Mixing weight capacity: 45kg/30 litres
* 200W motor

A 200W motor isn't very powerful - probably not enough to turn the
drum when full of concrete. My tiny electric drill is over 700W.
