Read before buying to make sure it will work for you.
Does a good job, you can fit 4 60lb bags in, be kind of tough to get more in and not spill when you rotate to empty it, but make sure this model fits your needs, its low to the ground when you dump it, no putting it into a wheel barrel, i do believe they offer a stand for it, but if you were doing forms or something like that you would need a ramp, if i had any thing to complain about would be it should be a 1 horse motor, that would make it that tad bit better, but if you load it like the instructions say your good to go, I do recommend giving it a try

great tool for a big job
Easy to assemble (you will require tools, especially a wrench set). Cant wait to test it. I did have to add some googly eyes for personality- see pic

    Assembly was straightforward. The motor was powerful enough to handle up to 4 80lb bags. However we limited each batch to just 2 to make it easier to move and dump mix when ready. It allowed us to successfully complete a 6’ x 10’ slab quickly. I know we’ll save a lot of $$ and effort in the long run.

      It works hard and I purchased it after seeing it in the rental department in Home Depot. Great product, extremely heavy duty and reliable. Used it on multiple projects from pouring small foundations for a shed to filling blocks after building pillars.

      Bringing new meaning to uses for cement mixers.
      Because our food bank too had few resources to purchase a professional carrot washer, our production manager purchased our first cement mixer, which was easily converted to a food-safe carrot washer. We harvested and washed 5,300 pounds of fresh carrots in just under 6 hours with one mixer! We now have two of the HD cement mixer / carrot washers conversions. Adults supervised a group of youngsters who fully enjoyed holding the food-safe water stream while other were able to push the start and stop button while safely supervised.

      If you HAVE to pour cement - THIS is the one you want!
      The cement mixer is a great size for small projects. The instructions on the unit gave a mixture that was too wet - so we would recommend using the instructions with the actual concrete mix you purchase. Also - to pour the entire batch, you will need some kind of ramp. If you dump the mixer and want to completely empty it - you have to hit the ground with it. (The front legs need to be raised a little.) Otherwise - very easy to set up. Easy to use and mixes well!! AND - we were planting a lawn at the same time - it also worked AWESOME to mix our grass seed!!

      Lightweight, easy to use. Mixes concrete uniformly, easy and fast. Easy to clean, move and store.
      I bought the Kushlan 6 cf concrete mixer for work on my rental property. After researching, I came to the conclusion the Kushlan was the best overall value I could find. Easy to assemble. I used loctite on my bolts for precaution. So far I have mixed 175 80lb bags of pre-mixed concrete for 230 lf of trench drain and it works great. The direct drive motor can mix 3-1/2 bags of 80lb concrete thoroughly and very easily. The height and ergonomics is just right. It is easy to pour, roll with a full load of concrete and easy to store. The poly bucket makes it very easy to clean. I found the 6 cf model is just right, anything smaller I would not have been quite as satisfied. Follow directions on mixing and you will be fine.

      Good choice -Easy to use, easy to clean
      Perfect batch every time. easy to use and clean. a little creaky when in operation - could likely be by rubbing some wax on drive shaft at connection to barrel. a little bit of splash out when adding bags to 4 gal of water. If only it could carry the bags from my car

      The balance and handling was great first job plastic drum cracked. It does not mix 3-4 80lbs of concrete mix only 2 or it will spill when moving. If it had a metal drum I would purchase again.

      I used this concrete mixer to pour a 6-inch thick concrete pad for multiple propane tanks. A total of 2,400 lbs of concrete was mixed an about 2-1/2 hours, and the mixer made this work very straightforward and not back-breaking. Very happy with this purchase.

      Very capable mixer. Spent more time on assembly than I think I should have had to, but once it was together it worked great. I definitely made the right choice by buying the larger model. I comfortably mixed 350 lbs of concrete (7 50lb bags) per batch at a rate of 10 minutes from opening the bags to pouring the concrete. Poured a total of 3500 lbs in the afternoon job. Everything cleaned up nicely with a hose afterwards and the machine looks good as new. Would purchase again and definitely recommend it. Nice tool to own.

      Hard to put together out of the box.
      I rated poor for delivery because ordering online at the price of it delivery to home should be free . Kind of hard to put together, instructions are not clear , needs more images, needs an easier way to connect the drum to the shaft of the motor . The screws that I received with it to connect the barrel are to short, I will have to go buy longer screws to fix it.
