Ozito 120L 550W Cement Mixer CMX-120

2.5 stars. Great capable machine, really poor design. Been using it for 3 years. This machine is cheap, and delivers great value for money if you only want to do small jobs.

done @ 70 loads of concrete over the years. And it keeps on going. I have been carefully to clean it properly to keep it usable. Can't fault the motor or the capacity. So why not 5 stars? The design and build.This machine is physically hard work to use. The ergonomics is designed for people who are 5ft tall. Difficult not to skin your shins when wheeling it around. Have to bend over and wheel it with a bent back. Can't get a wheel barrow under it (i will never understand this),to pour the load out.(I use 20lt buckets, so it's messy, in that respect).generally I need a tarp on the ground under it. It is very top heavy when mixing, which is stable as long as it's perfectly flat. All the steel is thin. So it dented when 1 load over balanced and fell. Sometimes I have to weight it down on small slopes. The handle for pouring takes a lot of strength to use, and you have to physically balance the whole load with back twisting effort, to pour it out.
