Top 10 Construction Mixers

Modern construction is impossible to imagine without the use of various technological mixtures. Concrete, lime mortars, plaster, grout, mastic, paints, varnishes - they all contain many components, and therefore require thorough mixing both before use and in the process. Someone is trying to do this in the old manner with an old trough and a wooden spatula, someone is using a drill or a hammer drill. But why spend a huge amount of time and effort, risk an instrument using it for other purposes, if in a few minutes you can get the same and even better result, just using a hand-held construction mixer? And this device is quite inexpensive, and the range is excellent - foreign and domestic manufacturers are not in vain trying. It remains only to study the ranking of the best models - and forth, for an indispensable assistant!

Top 10 best construction mixers

10 STANLEY SDR1400

In appearance, no one would take a mixer drill from the American company Stanley to the professional or at least semi-professional class: small, bright, with rounded handles and convenient arrangement of control buttons. The manufacturer obviously worked on ergonomics, but the performance characteristics of someone initially raise doubts. However, upon closer examination, it turns out that in fact this “baby” is a serious and reliable building tool.

With a weight of only 3.5 kg, the device produces an enviable torque of 80 N ∙ m and allows you to adjust the rotational speed of 480/800 rpm. The soft start system ensures a neat start of work and protects the device from overload. The 1.4 kW engine, together with a complex gearbox, does not overheat during a many-hour continuous mixing cycle, the maximum diameter of the mixer can reach 140 mm, which most builders are happy with.

9 ELITECH MS 1600 / 2ED

The flagship of the construction mixers line from the Elitech company, model MS-1600 / 2ED, is equipped with the following method: a 1.6-kilowatt engine producing on two spindles up to 800 rpm, gearbox with metal housing and sturdy nozzles coated with zinc. Unlike most devices with a threaded attachment of working rims, this unit has a keyless chuck, which saves time and does not require the presence of keys at hand to tighten.

Most users of their purchase on the basis of several weeks of operation were satisfied.Among its advantages, they call adequate cost, the ability to work with low revs at high torque and a soft start button, and the disadvantages include difficulties with the purchase of consumables, decent noise performance and the smell of plastic in the first days of running.

8 Caliber ERMD-1600 / 2E

The model is the most high-speed and powerful mixer in our rating. Due to the increased power of the electric motor (1.6 kW) and twin-screw layout, it gives a performance 2 times higher than devices with 1 nozzle. In addition, rotating in different directions, the nozzles stabilize the position of the tool. Given that it weighs more than 8 kg, this solution allows you to hold the device in your hands for quite a long time and comfortably. It is important that the motor in order to protect against contact with current-carrying elements has a double insulation.

The electric mixer is equipped with a 2-speed gearbox, which provides speed adjustment of 0-560 / 0-750 revolutions. But even at the first speed, the beaters rotate fast enough, which is undesirable for the preparation of concrete, but it is optimal for mixing plaster plaster. Concerning the mechanical reliability, opinions in the reviews were divided: some users believe that the machine is strong and even withstands careless handling, while others blame the rapid failure of nozzles and their lack of sales.

7 ZUBR MR-1050-1

When deadlines are burning, construction equipment is working for wear, and if it fails, the work of the entire brigade suffers. Two operating speeds (500 and 700 rpm) and integrated electronics that track and level any load changes ensure that the mixer is precisely tuned for specific tasks. The hand-held device is quite compact, it weighs 4.7 kg, and the handles are covered with anti-slip material, so it is very easy to work with it.

In the reviews of the "Bison" they say that it is very hardy, "drags" any mixture, for several months of active use only coal brushes should be replaced, for easy access to which the developers have provided a quick-detachable service cover. A replaceable metal nozzle in the form of a spiral with a length of 59 mm is included, if necessary, it can be easily replaced, as the mounting thread on the spindle is standard (M14).

6 Fiolent MD1-11E

Judging by the reviews, most of the repair and construction teams work with Fiolent. MD1-11E they call a simple workhorse without serious bells and whistles. The model is capable of surprising the experienced builder with the price-to-performance ratio, but you can not expect unpleasant surprises from it. Everything is solid and solid in it, as it should be for a professional tool: a high-torque 1.1 kW motor, a well-cooled aluminum gearbox casing, a monumental metal handle-clip with a comfortable grip. And also provides electronic adjustment speed for safe and comfortable work with different materials - from liquid varnishes to thick concrete.

Not all descriptions indicate that the device belongs to the category of mixer drills, and its scope is wider than a conventional mixer. When installing a drill chuck with an adapter (their presence in the base is better to specify at the place of purchase) they can safely drill holes with a diameter of 40 mm (wood) and 16 mm (metal), and the same electronics is responsible for the optimal drilling mode. If to summarize, the unit of domestic production really turned out successful - it is inexpensive, reliable and versatile.

5 Metabo RWE 1020

In this mixer model from a well-known manufacturer Metabowerke, the unique Vario-Tacho-Constamatic rpm control technology is implemented. With an increase in the load on the hand tool, it allows the nozzle rotation speed to remain unchanged, thereby significantly increasing the work efficiency and preventing overheating. Another reasonable solution - the output side of the power cable is protected in such a way as to eliminate the risk of breakage and failure.

The device belongs to the class of professionals read by many important details: aluminum radiator, ergonomic positioning of the handle, rubberized corners, dust protection for speed selector, solid warranty for 36 months. Smooth start-up contributes to a minimum level of dusting of the environment and splashing of liquids during the kneading process. Large selection of additional equipment provides a universal use of the mixer in working with any materials. It is a pity that there are not so many reviews on this car - apparently, its cost seems too high to potential buyers.

4 Makita UT1200

Makita fans often complain that their devices are flawless in everything except the price, which is why they have to buy from other companies. But in the case of the UT1200 mixer, there is no need to make any compromises: it costs not much more expensive than its counterparts, but the Japanese approach to development and the German quality of production are felt in all its details. A neatly assembled, compact unit fits comfortably on the palm of your hand and is ready to mix building mortars of any thickness without getting tired, except perhaps for concrete and bitumen mastic.

The power of the electric motor is 960 W, and a reliable gearbox significantly reduces speed and transmits energy to the spindle in the form of a torque of 25 N ∙ m (the value is determined by calculation). At idle 590 rpm is available, under load - 360 rpm. - what you need to prepare mixtures weighing up to 30 kg. The extensive geography of branded service centers and a conscientious attitude to warranty obligations deserve a separate praise.

3 Hitachi UM16VST

The Hitachi company appeared in 1910, and in 2019 it became the world's largest conglomerate of 1,100 firms, one of which, Hitachi Koki, has been manufacturing hand-held and automatic power tools for over 60 years. Virtually the entire range has an excellent reputation, and builders enjoy at least prestigious at work. They praise the devices for their “vitality” - some reviews on the well-known video hosting for 5-6 years, and the author's comments and new videos under them confirm that the devices are actively used to this day.

The UM16VST mixer with a 1.5-kilowatt electric motor is no exception. Besides it, the line-up still has a younger version with a power of 1.1 kW, ideal for everyday tasks. Both models are made thoroughly, both cope with the mixing of all types of building mixtures - from plaster to concrete and both are equipped with a set of spare brushes that for 3‒4 years many masters did not even need. The device is definitely recommended for purchase, praise for the length and quality of the power cable, the ability to adjust first stepwise method (2 speeds), and then twist the wheel to the desired speed.

2 Hammer MXR1400

With such a powerful machine as the "Hummer" repair and construction work is accelerated and facilitated by several times: it is a pleasure to fill the screed with it. There is nothing to say about dry mixes: one batch mixes several bags at once. This is not surprising - with a 1.4 kW engine and a steel gearbox, the unit’s operation is unlimited and by this it really resembles the Army SUV of the same name.

He has speeds, as it should be for a professional mixer designed for all types of materials, two - from 0 to 430 rev / min. and from 0 to 700 rpm. There is also an electronic speed limiter, which does not allow the solution to spray, and during long work you can resort to fixing the switch. In the set, a rim of 140 mm with extension M14 and 2 keys is attached to the device. In general, a hand mixer is good in all respects, and its price is fully justified by a set of characteristics.

1 Interskol KM-60 / 1000E

This is one of those mixers that is equally well suited for the preparation of liquid and viscous mortars for both domestic repairs and professional construction. It is quite powerful - the power consumption of the engine is 1.05 kW, which indicates the high performance of the device and the ability to prepare viscous solutions in fairly large volumes. So, the masters say that they mix 500 liters of concrete in portions of 60–90 liters, and in this mode their tool has been working for several years. Many of them refused to concrete mixers, especially in high-rise construction.

The equipment is made to the conscience, the materials used - metal and plastic - according to the characteristics correspond to the state standards stated by the manufacturer. The design is well thought out grip - two full mixing handle. Thanks to them, as well as the fixation of the power button, the hands practically do not get tired when mixing large volumes. The model is often compared with more promoted, and less affordable Hitachi and Metabo, and claim that it is not inferior to them, and the prepared solution meets all building requirements regarding mass uniformity.
