Construction mixers are widely used on small and large construction sites.
The unit greatly facilitates the process of mixing various building mixtures to a homogeneous mass with uniform density, and allows you to quickly “refresh” stagnant compositions.
What to look for when choosing a construction mixer, which models are the best today, we will consider in this selection.

Criteria for choosing a construction mixer
Reference! The construction mixer is structurally similar to a conventional drill, but has a number of technical solutions that increase the service life of its working units.
This is, first of all, a more powerful and durable engine, a maximally reinforced gearbox, durable brushes, lower gearing and high torque.
When choosing a construction mixer, consider the following:
- Power consumption. The higher this parameter, the greater the load the mixer can withstand. Devices with a 1–2 kW motor are suitable for mixing viscous materials and preparing heavy mixtures. Including when working with large volumes of compounds and active use of the tool. Devices with a power of up to 1 kW are recommended for use when performing relatively small finishing work.
- Torque. The torque value shows how well the motor transmits force to the whisk. This parameter, along with power, is associated with the performance of the unit. The higher it is, the more effective the mixing process will be.
- Rotational speed. A construction mixer does not require high engine speeds. Most models operate at 500-700 rpm. Meanwhile, the passport data indicates the maximum idle speed, which can drop under good load.
- Number of speeds. Construction mixers have from 1 to 3 speeds depending on the model. Downshifting changes the rpm down and the torque up and vice versa, which is useful for various tasks.
- Type of food. Construction mixers are mainly connected to the electrical network. It is convenient if the network cable is long enough - 3-4 meters. Rechargeable models receive energy from a rechargeable battery and are indispensable in sites without power supply.
- Useful additions. Adjustable speed allows you to easily configure the tool to work with different materials. The reverse system ensures a change in the direction of rotation of the whisk. Smooth start-up protects the operator from splashing out of the mixed solution and knocking out circuit breakers in the electrical network. Overload protection reduces engine speed when overheating to an acceptable level. Locking the start button allows you to lock the trigger in the pressed position while operating the tool.
Mixing concrete with an electric mixer: features and operating techniques
Everyone who builds a house on their own, without hired workers, wants to simplify the task for themselves. For example, use a concrete mixer to mix concrete. A high-quality concrete mixer is not a cheap pleasure. Many will say that its price will be recouped during the construction season. But I want to save money and not break my back mixing concrete with a shovel. This is where the idea comes - to use an electric mixer to mix the solution of sand, cement and crushed stone.

I saw a video on YouTube - a man, alone, using a two-spindle mixer, mixed concrete and poured a strip foundation in two days. I thought maybe this was an advertisement for a tool? The builder claims that it is more convenient to knead with a mixer than with a concrete mixer. The question is relevant for me. I mixed concrete in a concrete mixer. It's hard for one. We have to lift buckets. Load the pear. I rented a concrete mixer. There is nowhere to store yours. And with a mixer you can knead the concrete right at the pouring site. It weighs a little. Tell me, is this realistic if you knead small volumes? Maybe someone has already used a mixer? Will the tool break?

I think tools should be used strictly for their intended purpose. A mixer is needed to mix plaster and adhesive mixtures, and a concrete mixer is needed for concrete. The weak point of the mixer is the attachments. On heavy concrete with crushed stone, the rim's blades may come off or it will bend.

Compare the price of a normal mixer and a concrete mixer. The difference is small. It seems to me that health is more important! Using a concrete mixer, you can work together. One carries sand and crushed stone, the second monitors the batch. You work alone as a mixer. Oh, what strength is needed for this. You'll get tired quickly. My concrete mixer is already 10 years old, and it has long since paid for itself.
Now let’s listen to the opinion of those FORUMHOUSE participants who actually kneaded concrete with a mixer.
Bath1
I poured the strip foundation for the fence using a mixer. Tape length 25 m. Section – 200x300 mm. I also concreted a 5 m lintel under the gate and wicket. From my own experience, I will say that you get more tired not from working with a mixer, but from throwing sand, cement and crushed stone, and pulling out concrete. But you also need to throw ingredients into the concrete mixer. It still needs to be washed later, but the mixer spun in the water and went home. Of course, I wouldn’t dare to pour a foundation for a house with a mixer, but for small volumes, it’s quite a suitable option.
The Bath1 mixture was prepared as follows:
- First he mixed dry sand and cement.
- Then he added water. The consistency of the mixture is like sour cream.
- Then he threw in 3 buckets of crushed stone. Stirred the mixture. Then I added another 1.5 buckets of crushed stone.

I mixed concrete in a cast iron bath with a two-spindle mixer. Two spindles are better than one. The torque is damped and, in the case of a wedge, will not wrap around the tool. I threw cement, sand, crushed stone of fraction 5-20. I stirred for ten minutes and 200 liters of the mixture was ready. I won’t say it’s easy, but it’s not hard either. The crushed stone between the augers did not jam. The tool didn't break.

Briefly speaking. I listened to everyone and also decided to knead concrete with a mixer. I'm reporting. I mixed about 1.5 cubic meters of concrete for the columnar foundation. The mixture is hard. Proportions: 1 part cement, 3 parts sand, 4 parts crushed stone and 0.75 liters of water. Mixed in a 100 liter trough. I made 5-7 batches per day. I couldn't do it anymore. Your arms, especially your hands, get very tired. I’m not saying that I’m weak, but the twisting load on my joints is decent. Crushed stone of fraction 5-20 did not get stuck between the rims. The instrument also held up. Verdict: the method is suitable for small volumes for one-time work.
I wonder if it is possible to fill larger volumes using a mixer? The construction experience of FORUMHOUSE users says: “Yes.”
Veter753
My assistants and I poured 4 cubes of concrete with a mixer. There were 4 people working - two men and two women. The women put cement and enriched sand and gravel mixture into buckets. One man is kneading. The second one carries the buckets, and then the two of us dump the mixture into the formwork. Mix proportions: 1 bucket of cement, 1 bucket of sand, 3 buckets of OPGS, 0.7 buckets of water. In total, we made 115 batches with smoke breaks. It was still raining. The old tub was also leaking. They repaired it. As a result: started at 10 am, finished at eleven o'clock in the evening. Then they added a little more in the morning. The back gets tired, but if you get used to holding the mixer without bending over, with your legs spread wide apart, there is no fatigue. If they started to interfere at 7 am, there were 3 men, not women, it didn’t rain, and the tub didn’t leak, then I think they would have finished it before 6 pm. The mixer kneads the mixture quickly. The main fatigue comes from dragging buckets with OPGS through the formwork and lifting the bucket to the level of the formwork to dump the concrete.
Veter753 tips for using a mixer when mixing concrete:
- First load water, cement and sand.
- Knead the mixture until it becomes sour cream.
- Add 2 buckets of OPGS.
- Stir the mixture until it is a uniform gray color.
- Add another bucket of OPGS.
- Stir evenly again.
The concrete is ready.
If you keep the mixer in one place, it will not mix the mixture, because it will mix in one place. To mix the concrete well, you need to move the mixer in a circle, and zigzag, left and right.
Valeron 1983
The two of us, in 4 days, poured 17 cubic meters of concrete with a mixer. Monolithic slab. Concrete was mixed in a bathtub. They placed it on the reinforcement inside the formwork and turned it over after each batch. We were tired, of course, but we would have been tired with a concrete mixer too. I liked working as a mixer. It gets in the way quickly. He doesn’t twist his arms, his back doesn’t hurt, even though they kneaded with a single-spindle tool. You get more tired of carrying sand, cement and crushed stone.

What types of mixers are there?
Drill - mixer
An electric mixer runs on mains power or batteries. There are two types of devices: drill mixer and mixer. The first option is a low-speed hammerless drill equipped with a key or keyless chuck for fixing the drill and whisk (mixer). The shafts of some models are equipped with a thread onto which a cartridge or stirrer can be screwed. The weight of this type of device does not exceed 4 kg. Too much for a drill. Strictly speaking, as a drill, it is unlikely to please anyone. You can drill a couple or three holes with it if you don’t have a normal drill or hammer drill at hand.
The main purpose of the tool is a mixer. It is better not to use it for mixing concrete or not to use it too often and for small-volume batches. It does an excellent job of mixing cement and lime mortars, screeds or adhesives for tiling walls and floors with ceramic tiles. Models from some manufacturers of drill mixers include a case, which is very convenient for storing the tool. Perhaps the main advantage of devices of this type is that they are inexpensive. If you are choosing a tool for your home, this is the most suitable option.
Construction mixer
A tool intended only for mixing construction mixtures. Depending on the power consumption, the number of revolutions per minute, torque, and the number of spindles (one or two), mixers are distinguished for the preparation of moving or viscous compositions. Some models successfully replace a small concrete mixer, since they are almost as good as it in performance and are free from some of the inconveniences associated with its use:
- The concrete mixer has solid dimensions and weight. It requires two people to move it.
- Upon completion of work, the tool must be stored somewhere and preferably under lock and key. Finding a place to store even the smallest concrete mixer is not easy.
- At the end of the working day, the mixer drum must be cleaned of any remaining mortar or concrete, otherwise the device will very soon fail. To clean the drum you will need a lot of water and a place to drain this water.
The mixer is free from all of the listed disadvantages. It doesn't need much storage space. One worker can move it anywhere on a construction site, including multi-story buildings, without much effort. There is no need to pour buckets of water to clean the whisk. It is enough to “spin” it in a bucket of water in a timely manner and wipe it with a rag.
Which mixer to choose
Depending on the power consumption, there are three types of mixers:
- For the preparation of low-viscosity mobile solutions, plaster compositions, and paints and varnishes, devices with a power consumption of 600–1000 W, a rotation speed of 500 to 900 rpm, with a single-speed electric motor and one spindle are sufficient. An example of such a tool is the Fiolent MD1 - 11E model.
- For heavier mixtures - devices with a capacity from 1000 to 1800. As a rule, these are devices with a two-speed gearbox. Switching modes (speeds) is carried out by a translator located on the product body. At first speed – from 130 to 450 rpm, they work with low-moving, viscous mixtures and concrete. The second speed – from 450 to 1050 rpm, ensures high-quality mixing of painting, plaster, putty and adhesive compositions. Two spindles rotating the nozzles in opposite directions ensure high productivity and uniformity of the composition. The Elitech 1600/2ED model is endowed with these parameters.
- Mixers with a power of 1800 W or more, with a two or three speed gearbox, are considered professional equipment. They are used to prepare mixtures of any viscosity with various fillers, including for mixing concrete. Professional mixers can withstand intense loads for a long time without failures or breakdowns. They are quite expensive and it is not practical to purchase them for household use. An example of one of the professional models is the Bosch GRW 18 – 2E Professional.
Criteria for choosing a construction mixer
- Work intensity. For professional use, it is better to choose powerful two- or three-speed devices, preferably from well-known brands known for the high quality of their products. They are more expensive, but more productive and reliable. The costs will be repaid by long-term intensive use.
- Characteristics of mixed compositions. Two or three-speed devices with a high rotation speed of the mixer and a power of 1800 W are more advisable to use if the team often works with heavy mortars and concrete. Devices with a power of up to 1000 W and a nozzle rotation speed of up to 600 rpm are more profitable to use for the preparation of finishing compositions: plaster mortars and putties, adhesives and paints. If an organization carries out general construction and finishing work, it is better to have tools of different types and power on hand.
- For domestic use, everyone chooses the equipment themselves, taking into account the upcoming nature and volume of work. Considering that the intensity of work of a household tool is an order of magnitude lower than that of a professional one, it is better to choose semi-professional devices. They are affordable and the possibilities are quite wide.
What else should you pay attention to?
It will not be possible to prepare high-quality solutions for various purposes with one type of whisk. The fillers for each composition are different. Some, heavy ones, tend to sink to the bottom of the container. Others, light ones, rise up. There are mixtures in which the presence of air bubbles can reduce the quality of finishing work. For each type of composition, certain types of nozzles with different blades have been developed.
Straight blades.
Such whisks are used for preparing adhesive compositions. The presence of air bubbles and foreign objects, even the smallest in size, is unacceptable. A nozzle with straight blades does an excellent job of removing air bubbles from the batch.
Spiral blades.
The most common attachments. Several spirals are wound from the lower edge of the rod, bounded at the top by a ring. There are spirals of left and right rotation. A nozzle rotating clockwise is used to prepare starting and finishing putty, since during rotation it presses the composition down. Mixers with a left-handed spiral are used for preparing cement-sand mortars and concrete. They lift heavy ingredients up, preventing them from settling to the bottom of the container. Double-spindle mixers use right- and left-hand rotation beaters.
Oppositely directed blades are used for mixing paint and varnish mixtures. The material is liquid and splashes at high stirrer speeds. The lower spiral is busy mixing the composition, and the upper one “presses the liquid mixture down, preventing splashes from scattering.
Nozzles for heavy compounds
To mix sand with crushed stone or gravel, you need a particularly durable mixer with blades of a certain configuration. A whisk for paint or putty will not last long in such conditions.
The homogeneity of the material and the performance of the device depend on the correct choice of nozzle. You should not choose stainless steel whisks with anti-corrosion coatings. This is money thrown away. Any coating will come off after a few kneads, and stainless steel is no stronger than regular steel. Choose a durable whisk, taking into account the nature of the mixtures being mixed. It is better to always have different types of attachments.
DIY mixer attachment
If your income does not allow you to splurge on the purchase of a mixer, or the volume of proposed work is so small that such costs are irrational, you can build a nozzle for mixing light solutions with your own hands. If you have a small welding machine and manual arc welding skills, this will not be difficult. It is enough to select a steel rod with a diameter of 5 - 8 mm, roll up a ring no more than 12 mm in diameter, weld three rods of the same diameter to it on three sides so that you get a cone about 100 mm high. A rod 40–60 cm long and 8 mm in cross section is welded to the top of the cone. The free end of the rod is ground to give it the shape of a triangle in cross-section, to securely fix the homemade mixer in the jaw chuck of a household drill or hammer drill. The nozzle is ready.
You can do without electric welding. You will need an M 8 mm pin and three metal plates. The length of the plates is selected depending on the diameter of the container for mixing the solution. A hole with a diameter of 8 mm is drilled in the center of each plate. Then, with the same diameter, another pair of holes is drilled to the right and left of the central ones. A pin is threaded through the central holes of the plates. Each plate is fixed to the rod with M8 nuts at the top and bottom. The shank of the improvised attachment is ground to fit the cam chuck of the drill (the cross-section should be a triangle). The nozzle is ready.
Which brand of mixer is better to buy?
The number of manufacturers of construction mixers is difficult to count. To the numerous European, Asian and American brands, no less numerous manufacturers from the countries of the former USSR have been added. Let's look at the best manufacturers who have managed to establish themselves by producing high-quality instruments from different parts of the world.
