Northern Industrial Cement Mixer with Metal Drum - 2 Cubic Ft., Model# CM200
Does exactly what it is supposed to,
July 13, 2009
By FormerCarpenter from Ithaca NY
"I can't believe I used to use a wheelbarrow to mix cement. I have mixed over 50 80lb bags of cement with this mixer and it works very well. I had considered a larger unit, but it easily takes one bag at a time and mixes so quickly, there is no reason to need a bigger capacity unit. By the time I could pick up another bag, the first would be mixed. The wheels and small size allow it to pour the cement exactly where needed. This is light enough for one person to easily pick it up, so less is definitely more useful. I would highly recommend it to any contractor pouring footers for decks, concrete stairs, pads, etc. We let friends borrow it and easily fit in the back or her small hatchback."

Use for mixing Planting Mix,
May 24, 2010
By jimbruun from Chester, SC
"I bought this mixer primarily to mix my garden planting mix. I use one part vermiculite, 1 part compost or bagged compost, and 1 part peat moss.
It works perfectly, and I get a uniform mix.
I plan to also use it for mixing single 40 or 60 lb bags of concrete mix for sidewalk sections."

Better than a wheel barrow,
March 6, 2010
By 123Thomas from South Carolina
"I would have given this 5 stars if the plastic housing on the motor wasn't broken. Fixed that with super glue and duct tape and will be contacting customer service.
The mixer was easy to put together and a welcomed improvement over mixing concrete in a wheelbarrow with a hoe. It took a couple of bags to get a good way to empty the full bag into the drum. The project I was working on took 16 80 pound bags and it took about 5-10 minutes from one bag to the next compared to 10-15 minutes the old way. Very easy to move the mixer from one point to another and pouring was a snap.
Another feature I really like is the compact size which makes it easy to store. For small projects this product is perfect. Might get one for my son for Christmas."

Perfect mixer for daily small jobs,
July 22, 2009
By OwegoJeff from Owego, NY
"This mixer is the perfect size for the small to mid-size jobs that I do regularly. It is light weight, easy to assemble, and does a great job mixing. Drop in a bag-full and it's ready to pour in minutes and drops right where you want it."
