drive mechanism is made of a plastic gear that is not even bolted onto the drive shaft. Used it one day and it worked well. Next day plastic gear kept falling off and had to return unit..

            Junk
            Do yourself a favor and buy a REAL concrete mixer. After a few minutes I mixed it by hand. What a bad choice on my part.

                Great Mixer for a Great Price!
                Arrived in just a few days. Easy to build easy to pull around very easy to use. Most other mixer's are about double the price. Perfect for the once in a whiler like myself. The option of mixing in a wheelbarrow is ok but with this mixture it is easier to pour and gives you a much better mix The other option is renting a full yard trailer can be a real pain in the neck. Buy this one!

                        Bought this for my husband to do some smaller cement jobs around the house. It worked really well for what he needed it for. It was easy to move around. And better then having to rent one. Not sure how well it would be for bigger jobs, but it worked great for us.

                            $166 I think, delivered to my house, assembly directions made absolutely no sense but it was easy enough to figure out… mixes 80lb bags almost perfectly, a cup or two of overflow but not too bad. Poured 30 bags of concrete that first day, carefully mixes mortar too, half a bag at a time. My back will forever be grateful. The motor and electronics box seems to be pretty well well waterproof, I just hose it off.

                              Preformed well. I would recommend it for a lot of small projects.

                                The stand is too narrow to balance the machine after loading 80lb bag of concrete. The mixer doesn't always mix the concrete and has to be helped by a stick or shovel. The on/off switch sometimes sticks or doesn't work. I would not buy this again.

                                    Not sure why anyone says it won't take an 80lb bag of concrete but it worked perfectly fine for me. Sure beats mixing it in a wheelbarrow!

                                          Unless you wanna mix a bag an hr, I would not recommend this small guy.

                                              A simple, lite weight solution for small concrete jobs. Some modifications are needed to make it fully functional such as the addition of a wider foot under the handle and grease on the gear, but, these are easy to accomplish.

                                                Put the machine together and the Electric motor didn't work. Called the company and was told tech support wasn't available due to covid; but they offered two local small engine repair shops in my area, one was out of business and the other said they only worked internal combustion engines, so, I returned item to HD. Not a particularly good experience.

                                                  Terrible product
                                                  Worked great at first but during second use belt slipped off and wont spin the bowl. Tried to reseat the belt but slips off very quickly. Built in one spot and not moved. This was for a home business but would definitely not trust on a job site.
