    Did look at this mixing station a while ago but Itools mixing station for me, Spare bucket with it also.
    3 bag mixes easy but using level it 2 screed you could manage 4 bag mix I reckon but may be brimmed. Love it cant fault it. So much quicker and less stress when mixing on your own.

    Even quicker with the screed rake

    4x1200 pros fit? I'd of thought it would be right at the brim and abit awkward to move/pour, if 4 fit easy will be trying that tomorrow got a couple of plots to screed to fit tuesday

    I noticed another one named "smart mixx" that looks pretty good. The porta mix is a 5 bag (25kg) beast. £1800 tho so was toying with the idea of buying 2 cheaper mix stations instead to keep the speed up.Defo one of the best buys for floorlayers out there to move those screed jobs along a lot quicker than usual.

    The 20 kg bags go in ok not right to the brim but I've done it a few times on big jobs.

    What whisk are you boys using? Just got iTools station for a big job coming up. Do you use the massive whisk that comes with it or something else?

    I use the whisk that comes with it merit. Bit lethal when you give a spin before taking the mixer out but does a very good job mixing.
