YARDMAX YM0046 1.6 Cu. Ft. Concrete Mixer

Works well. Assembly was easy by myself. instructions were done well. I do two 80# bags at a time and it doesn't skip a beat. i would recommend you do stake it down if possible when doing this. during the dump cycle it can get a little unstable due to the small foot on the front post. either weld a large piece to it, or attach a board to widen its stance with 3/8 inch hardware. Like the multiple position selector, allows me to not lose much of the material during the dump cycle. Why not five stars. some of the hardware was wrong or missing. gave me the option to change it to stainless :)

I used this little machine to mix 80 lb bags of ready mix. Definitely better than mixing by hand. Easy to assemble, with all the hardware on a large card sealed in plastic, even had touch up paint...which I thought a tad odd for a cement mixer. The machine works well but sometimes I had to shut it off to scrape cement stuck in the back. All in all, I'd recommend it. Be aware friends will ask to borrow it.

Don't even bother looking at the junk Harbor F mixer. I can save you some time! Quality of this unit is second to none as you can just tell by the paint finish alone. It is very easy to put together in 30 mins. after you gather a few tools. This little mixer works like a champ as I used it to level a severely sloping basement floor in my 80 year-old house, where trucking in concrete really wasn't feasable. A friend at work has the Harbor F mixer (who tried to sell it to me, but told me it wouldn't hold a whole bag of mix)and said it kept overheating,thus shutting-down in the middle of his fencing project. This little workhorse kept plugging away and didn't skip a beat! Oh yea, and I had a problem in shipping where some Ups ppl got a little rambunctious and bent the drum a bit and customer service next day aired me a new part with no questions and no problems! I can't say enough about this thing. Thanks Yardmax! I will be looking at more of your products thanks to your quality and service!

For smaller jobs, this mixer is perfect. Quality outstanding, very mobile and the instructions should win a prize for clarity.Fun purchase.

Great little machine. So far I used it for about 50 80lbs bags and works great. The only think not so good is the handle design - its hard to switch between positions and doesn't always stay in place. Still deserves 5 stars thou

The YardMax YM0115 is basically the same mixer you will find across many different retailers sold under different names, colors, and specifications. The YardMax version is probably the nicest version of the bunch with a higher motor HP rating and CF capacity. Additionally, as compared to other units, there is less assembly. Since this unit likely comes from the same CHINA factory as the lessor model versions, quality control is an issue. My mixer arrived in excellent packaging from the mfr. Unfortunately there were 2 issues. One of the legs was bent from the factory (was in the middle of the undamaged box) and there was MFR defect on another part that completely prevented assembly. I normally return/replace products when any defect is found. I thought I would save Amazon a few $ in shipping costs and contact the MFR. The customer service rep was US-Based (+) and was fairly knowledgeable about the product. I told him which 2 parts I needed and without any fuss placed an order. The only thing I thought was odd, was that at no point did the rep. apologize for the inconvenience. In reality, who cares, apologies don’t mean anything, but it struck me as odd. The parts arrived in 3 business days (+) but one of the 2 was clearly removed from an assembled machine.The YardMax version is a great value when you compare the cost and upgrades this unit has over its lessor model siblings.

Handles (2) 80 pounds sacks of concrete. My wheelbarrow is too tall so I had to put the mixer on blocks to easily pour out the mixer into the wheelbarrow. It is a little bit noisy with steel teeth on steel barrel. So far so good - ran about 40 bags through so far. The manufacturer provides orange and grey touch up paint - not sure what for. Concrete is a scratchy business. After one use there will be too many scratches to touch up.Nice little mixer for the price. Much better mix than using a shovel and wheel barrow like I used to.

Fast ship .like how it works .only used it one time .if it last awhile will be 5 star .

I like being able to rotate to fill tumbler and I put in 4 bags 80lbs at a time and no problem with use

Mixes well. Fairly unstable unless on a hard, flat, level surface.

Excellent bought this for my father he works a lot of hours and is doing a outside staircase for my mother and he does not let anyone help him ..

Great time saver. Way better than mixing by hand. We've done over 40 80lb bags of concrete so far and the only issue is that it's too low for dumping into 5gal bucket.

It took us a while to learn how to make perfect concrete mix, but it is a very nice mixer after you bypass the learning curve.

love it the price is good and the machine is excellent

I've run about 15 bags of cement through it and it's performed flawlessly, the instructions to put it together are the best I've ever seen, the parts for each step are wrapped...

Well worth the money

Love this little work horse. Bought it to put up several hundred feet of fence it saved a lot of back breaking work it will mix up a bag of cement in 2 minutes.
