HF cement mixer
In article ,

Awl--
Inyone have one? Does it work?
Q on sizes:
They offer 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 cu ft.
However, it is ambiguous as to what the cu ft refer to: size of the drum,
or the amount of concrete that can be mixed/poured.
If the 2.5 mixer is referring to poured concrete, and the 3.5 is referring
to actual drum volume, the 2.5 may very well have *more capacity than the
3.5*!!
And a hint that this might be so is that the 2.5's cost more than the 3.5s.
HF don't have a clue--of course.
Iny idears??
Do they list a weight limit (check the owner's manual if it is online). Our 5
cubic foot (actual drum capacity) mixer has a weight limit of 275 lbs, so that
is (3) 80 lb bags of Quickrete plus water, or about 1 1/2 cubic feet of
concrete. A mixer with a drum capacity of 1.5 cubic feet would barely mix one
bag at that ratio.
