I bought a cheap mortar mixer from a yard sale last spring and it cost me a full day's work.

It was a no-name brand for fifty bucks and seemed fine mixing a small batch. When I tried to do a full load for a foundation course, the motor smoked and died halfway through. I had to stop everything, go rent a proper one, and remix all the material. Anyone have a reliable budget mixer they've used for a few seasons without trouble?

My cousin swears by his old used Honda mixer, got it for a hundred bucks and it just won't quit. Sometimes the cheap no-name stuff just can't handle a real job.

My old Honda mower is the same way, and Thomas.tyler gets it.

A full day's work for fifty bucks? What did you expect it to do?
