*Review of the best according to the editors of expertology.ru. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective in nature, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before purchasing, consultation with a specialist is required.

The construction mixer has completely replaced conventional drills in cases where it is necessary to prepare plaster or cement-sand mortar. This device allows you to quickly and efficiently mix dry mixtures with water, mix adhesive or paint materials. Today, mixers have become more affordable, so you can find the tool not only in the hands of professionals, but also in home craftsmen. To choose the optimal model in terms of technical parameters, you should listen to the advice of our experts.

Scope of application of hand mixer

During the construction process, at one stage or another, the need to prepare a mixture necessarily arises. The use of a special tool will ensure uniformity of the mass, which will have a positive effect on the quality of the work performed. The use of a hand mixer for concrete and other mixtures used in finishing and construction work significantly increases labor productivity.

The operating principle and design of the tool are similar to a conventional drill. The main difference between a mixer is the presence of a variety of attachments, the specifics of which differ depending on the goals set. The type of tool required is determined by the volume of work performed.

The scope of application of the mixer is finishing and construction work. And if you cannot do without a concrete mixer for mixing concrete compositions, then a hand mixer is ideal for preparing concrete, paint and other liquid mixtures.

Despite the fact that this tool is characterized by its simple design, it is easy to use, which allows you to quickly and efficiently prepare a variety of construction mixtures.

For liquid mixtures, it is better to use a hand concrete mixer

How to choose a construction mixer?

Despite the fact that there are still manual devices on sale, they are gradually becoming a thing of the past, and they are being replaced by electric models, which are equipped with various nozzles depending on the density and type of mixture. The main indicator of the instrument is the ability to mix a certain mass or volume of solution in one cycle. This parameter is directly affected by the power of the product, which is measured in kilowatts. There are household tools for home use, their power in most cases does not exceed 1 kW. For use in industrial construction, devices with a power of 2 kW and higher will be most suitable. Such products easily work even with significant masses of high-density concrete - in one batch you can get up to 200 liters of the finished mixture.

You should definitely pay attention to the weight of the product, since in any case you will have to hold it with your hands. The minimum weight is 2 kg, semi-professional designs will weigh about 7-10 kg, and products belonging to the professional series will be even heavier - 10-15 kg. It is desirable that the product be equipped with an engine speed control system. This feature allows you to maintain a constant operating mode regardless of the density of the mixture.

The torque of the equipment indicates which internal forces are generated directly in the stirred solution. The higher this factor is, the denser the mixture the selected tool can process. In the field of domestic use, it will be possible to prepare a plaster solution, mix paint, obtain a high-quality putty mixture, primer and other compositions of medium or low density.

It is also important to pay attention to the number of revolutions of the device. Regardless of the purpose, this figure fluctuates around 750-850 rpm. This will be quite enough to work with solutions of different densities. It is desirable that the product be equipped with a soft start system. This technology prevents splashing of the mixture during startup, reduces peak loads during the startup process, which significantly extends the service life of the tool.

When choosing models for inclusion in our rating, we took into account all the previously discussed points, and also took into account the price-quality ratio of products, and also turned to user reviews. We tried to include not too expensive devices in the review so that most of our readers would find them within their means. Now is the time to move on to analyzing the specific characteristics of certain models.

Variety of hand tools

Models of hand-held devices vary depending on the tasks they are intended to perform and the volume of work. So, to use a mixer at home, when you plan to perform a small amount of work, it is recommended to use a tool whose power does not exceed thousands of watts.

For larger-scale finishing or construction work, the best option would be to use a tool with a power of more than 1 kW.

Depending on the type of mixtures, as well as the required density of the mixture, different attachments may be needed. The optimal solution would be to purchase a tool that can operate at different shaft rotation speeds. A wide variety of models and attachments allows you to choose the most suitable tool for solving specific problems.

Construction mixers with power up to 1500 W

Mixers up to 1500 W are devices with increased power; they stir the solution much faster, forming a homogeneous consistency. Due to their large size, they weigh more than 4 kg. Often used for small repair work. A total of 5 devices were evaluated, of which only 3 were selected.

Types of nozzles and their features

The variety of appearance of mixer attachments is due to the huge selection of building mixtures that need to be mixed. To achieve the most effective mixing, it is necessary to select the appropriate nozzle for each construction mixture.

Such equipment can be classified according to the scope of work

There are the following types of nozzles:

1. Screw. For mixing paints and varnishes. The special design of the tool allows for the most thorough mixing and prevents splashing.
2. Cross-shaped. For mixing glue, sealant, potting mixtures. The specific design prevents unwanted air from entering the batch.
3. Spiral-shaped. Depending on the direction of the spiral, it is suitable for mixing elastic, light or viscous, dense mixtures.

In addition to the difference in shape, the attachments for the construction mixer also differ in the method of fixation:

• screwing into the mixer hole;
• fixation with a clamp in the mixer cartridge;
• use of a fixing element.

The diameter of the whisk is up to 16 cm, the length, depending on the model, ranges from 40 to 60 cm. If necessary, you can use an extension, the length of which does not exceed 40 cm. Selecting an attachment that matches the type of mixture will ensure the highest quality and thorough mixing.

Features of choosing a construction mixer for concrete

Before you begin to consider the most popular models, during the purchasing process you need to decide on the scope of work and the type of mixtures required. And if to mix paint before painting the walls in an apartment you can get by with a drill with a special attachment, then to mix concrete solutions and perform large volumes of work you will need a construction mixer.

One of the main characteristics that influence the choice of mixer is the density of the mixture.

In the process of choosing the optimal model, it is necessary to consider a number of key factors:

1. Tool power. In order to use the device at home to perform a small amount of work, a tool with a power of up to 1 kW will be sufficient. It is impossible to do without professional equipment with a power of more than 1 kW when carrying out large-scale construction work.
2. The presence of a regulator to change the rotation speed. The ability to change the rotation speed will allow you to use the tool not only for mixing concrete mixtures, but also for mixing lighter structures, such as paint and varnish.
3. Great torque. One of the main parameters that allows you to cope with even the most viscous mixtures.
4. A convenient fixing element that would not make dismantling difficult, even with intense contamination with mixtures.
5. Depending on the volume of planned work, it is necessary to choose a model with one or two mixers (for large volumes of work).
6. Comfortable handle of the tool. The shape should fit comfortably in the hands and provide high maneuverability to the tool.

Special attention must be paid to the tool manufacturer, choosing one who guarantees exceptionally high quality products.

To prepare a concrete solution, you will need to use a special mixing tool.

Basic information about hand mixers

The manual device is an ergonomic alternative to a drum-type concrete mixer. There are two options for the tool:

1. Hand construction mixer. The main differences between the models on the market are the power of the tool, the number of attachments, and ergonomics. The tool is designed for mixing concrete and other building mixtures.
2. Drill with the ability to install a whisk. The use of the tool is relevant when it is necessary to knead a small amount of liquid mixtures: paints, varnishes, glue.

Prolonged use of the drill, especially when mixing denser mixtures such as concrete, can lead to overheating and failure of the tool.

Hand Mixer Power

The main characteristic that you need to pay attention to when choosing a tool is its power. To perform a small amount of construction work, when it is necessary to mix varnish, paint or a small amount of putty, the optimal solution would be to use a tool with a power of up to 1000 W.

If you need to mix a large amount of putty, concrete mixtures or viscous adhesives, you cannot do without a more powerful tool.

Another important characteristic is the shaft rotation speed

Types of mixers depending on power

If we talk about the key characteristics of this tool, then, first of all, it is worth studying the power indicator. Based on power, this device can be divided into three groups:

— Mixers with power from 600 to 900 W. They are used to work with a small volume of working mixture and low viscosity of the material. For example, such low-power devices do a good job of preparing primer mixtures and mixing paint. Mixers in this category have only one speed, providing a nozzle rotation speed of 550-580 rpm. This tool weighs 2-3 kg, which allows you to work with it for a long time without getting tired at all.

— Mixers with power from 1000 to 1500 W. These devices already have a speed controller. Thanks to this feature, at the second speed with high speeds, you can perfectly knead light liquid mixtures. And if you need to prepare a heavy cement mortar, just switch the mixer to first speed, reducing the speed. By the way, double-spindle mixers are also produced in this range. A semi-professional instrument weighs approximately 7-10 kg.

— Mixers with power above 1800 W. This is a professional power tool that is used to mix significant volumes of mixtures (from 20 to 200 liters per batch), regardless of their viscosity. As a rule, in such models the speed controller switches to 2-3 positions. Naturally, such a mixer is the most reliable and durable. However, its price is 7-10 times higher than low-power analogues, and therefore it is obvious that such tools should only be purchased by those who are professional repairers and plan to use this equipment daily. Their weight varies between 10-15 kg.

Important! Keep in mind that the higher the power of a power tool, the heavier it is.

Tool efficiency

In addition to the obvious factor affecting the efficiency of the tool - the voltage in the electrical network, one of the main criteria is torque and speed.

Depending on the type of construction mixture, the best mixing can be achieved at high or low speeds. Thus, to knead a viscous substance, high torque and low speeds will be required, and to prepare a homogeneous paint or varnish mixture, high speeds will be the optimal solution.

In order to achieve high-quality and uniform mixing, it is necessary to give preference to models whose functions provide for changing the rotation speed.

Construction mixer device

The device is an electric drive that rotates a special attachment (also known as a whisk or stirrer) to mix the solution. For comfortable use, the drive is equipped with a comfortable handle on which the starting equipment is located (start button and button for fixing the operating mode of the tool).

The power consumption and speed allow it to easily cope with the preparation of compositions of any viscosity, including concrete mixtures. The design features of the body and handles make it possible to reduce vibration loads on the operator’s body, and the tool itself can withstand heavy loads without breaking.

Main settings

Along with the main technical features, when purchasing a hand tool, it is important to take into account the main parameters of the device, namely:

• weight – 1.5–5.0 kg;
• noise is an indicator whose intensity is determined by the power of the device - the greater the power, the higher the noise level;
• Dimensions (in cm): length – 30–50, width – 25–35, height – 15.

A wide variety of models allows you to purchase the most suitable and convenient option for each occasion.

It is better if the high-density solution is mixed with a mixer with high torque

Differences between a construction mixer and a conventional drill

From a design point of view, mixer drills are not much different from conventional drills. You could even say that they have a common base. However, the increased loads placed on the tool during the mixing process forced engineers to make a number of changes to the device in order to ensure greater strength of the equipment.

What changes have been made:

• motors inside construction mixers are more powerful and durable;
• the gearbox was strengthened to the maximum by using a metal casing, stronger gears, creating closed cavities for lubrication and using support bearings;
• introduction of lower gearing in some models to increase tool life;
• use of durable brushes;
• changing the design of the body to allow operation at high torque and holding the tool using additional handles.

All this allows the device to withstand heavy loads when stirring both pliable and very thick solutions.

Many changes have been made to ensure the device does its job

Manufacturers

The market offers a wide selection of not only powerful professional equipment, but also small hand-held devices. The production of hand tools is equally carried out by both regional enterprises and companies known throughout the world.

But at the same time, it is compact, lightweight (3 kg) and incredibly comfortable, which is noted by all reviewers without exception.

— Bosch GRW 18-2 E. The German quality of this model speaks for itself. It is more powerful than comparable competitors (1.8 kW), has electronic speed control and is very comfortable thanks to the ergonomic double handle. The only serious disadvantage of this device is the high price.

— Metabo RWEV 1600-2 . An amazing combination of power (1.6 kW) and lightness (4.5 kg) makes this model the most popular among buyers. In addition, this tool can be used as a drill. And also, the manufacturer gives it a 3-year warranty.

— Elitech MC 1600/2ED . If you need a tool for complex work involving manual mixing of large quantities of concrete, consider purchasing this mixer. It is two-handed, has good power and the ability to run at low speeds for a long time without overheating. The only thing that users pay attention to is the high noise during operation.

Buying a construction mixer is an important and responsible step that will allow you to carry out construction and repair work as efficiently as possible and in the shortest possible time, and also not overpay for expensive equipment.
