Timbertech Portable Electric 650W Cement Mixer review 

The Timbertech 240v 650w portable cement mixer is one of the best sellers on Amazon. It isnt a universally renowned brand but it has good powerful motor and a great capacity of 140 litres. This is big enough for most jobs.

This one has an RRP of £199, but we have spotted it a bit cheaper on line, where you get this mixer for around £169 or even less. This model runs off 240v and has a powerful 650w motor which isn't far off the top of the range for power in these home use mixers.

Who actually really needs a cement mixer ? It may be hard to justify but if you are a bit of a tool and machinery addict like myself then you definitely need one. I have often thought it would be really handy to have a mixer like this. Many people make the mistake of buying something cheap because they wont use it very often but that is the wrong thing to do.

If you are thinking of buying a mixer then go for the best you can afford as actually these mixers are quite a good investment with a very good resale value and they last for years if they are looked after.

I have learnt myself by making expensive mistakes, not to buy a budget version of a tool or machine as I have been disappointed so many times when I find out that its rubbish! If you are like me then you like to buy the best that you can afford and get something that works properly, is useful and most importantly that it lasts.

This model has a 140l drum so its a really good size and has a good wide mouth. This is a good capacity and this unit is a serious machine. A pretty heavy duty piece of sturdy steel. The cheaper you go, the less you will get and a good model like this will have a good resale value if you want to sell it on after you have had your use out of it.

Be warned though, if you have your own cement mixer you will soon have a queue of family and friends that all need the "lend" of it for a "wee job"

We will need to have a closer look at why 27% of buyers rated this unit as poor. I can tell you that I have read every single review and without doubt, they are all complaints about the quality of packaging that the unit comes in and damage to the package or mixer when it arrives.

The mixer itself is great, its just the delivery and packaging that lets it down, What a pity !

It is pretty easy to see the story here. If the unit arrives undamaged then buyers think its great

Best Cement Mixer?

Our Verdict on the 650w Cement Mixer

This is really good and powerful mixer with great capacity Its ideal for medium to large jobs and you can mix two bags of cement at a time

This is a very viable alternative to renting out an expensive mixer from a hire company and ending up keeping it three times as long as you originally expected !

We give this 70% but that's because the packaging is poor and it has come damaged to many buyers, the mixer itself would get 90% if they could sort that out.
