SILVEL 4.3 Cu.Ft. Concrete Mixer Machine, 450W 3/5HP Electric Cement Mixer Machine with Wheel and Stand for Stucco

The media could not be loaded. Many issues and reported multiple times to Seller via AMZ chat. All talk. No action. Gave him two weeks to fix.1. Arrived damaged: egg-shaped bowl and main gear. Not obvious until after assembly and running. Main gear and drive gear do not mesh / seat properly.2. Missing the upper motor mount bracket.3. Received parts that are not in the manual and no obvious location. Looks like a motor shaft shield - but actually does not fit.4. The photos are of a standard 5 cu. ft. wheelbarrow. The stand for this mixer is so low that I could not even use my wife's 2 cu. ft. "toy" barrow. Had to mount this carefully 14 inches above ground so I could dump into my barrow.5. Painted finish. Not powder coat or something longer lasting. Chipped off everywhere after just 2.5 hours' use on 1/2 cubic yard of bag concrete.6. Claimed capacity is 4.2 cu. ft. NOT POSSIBLE. Started stalling at 3 x 60 lbs. bags - which is only 1.5 cu. ft +/-7. The barrel wheel is bent. Is misshaped. Poorly welded. So flimsy that GREAT CARE must be taken to not break the welds or bend the two "spokes" that are made of light-weight sheet metal.8. Followed instructions to install the barrel halves with gasket. See video. Leaks like a sieve. Threads so poorly made on barrel rim and bolts, had to chase those threads. Afraid to tighten too much for worry about stripping. Torqued to 10Nm repeatedly and still leaks a pint a minute or more. Only solution (bad idea usually) loaded half a bag of dry to immediately absorb some water and block the leaks; but that resulted in me having to constantly stop the unit and use a trench shovel break the clods off the bottom of the barrel blades.Will return once I get instructions from AMZ - as it must be dissembled. Of course, used once and is impossible to restore to OEM condition.

This mixer worked beyond my expectations. When we tried to put the concrete in first and then add the water things didn't go so well, the water just lay on top of the concrete and didn't mix well. So the second time around, we put the water in first and were pleasantly surprised to find that the water and concrete mixed quickly and could be poured out in about a minute. Overall, this machine is working well.

I am so happy with my purchase. It came quickly and was in perfect condition. it was so easy and was actually fun assembling it. The machines worked well and was so easy to handle. I assembled this myself and was able to work it myself too. I would definitely recommend this item.

I thought it did it's job fine and not hard to get together

Amazing mixer I mixed concrete mix and added some sand it was easy to put together easy to clean and easy to move awesome product thank you.
