My old Minimix 150 (orange) cement/concrete mixer has died so its time to replace it.
I'm currently looking at the slightly cheaper Minimix 130 (yellow) but can't figure out why it's cheaper seeing as the drum is the same size. The only difference I can see is:
- The Minimix 130 has a less powerful motor at 450W vs the Minimix 150's 550W. But if they can both take the same amount of volume, surely the Minimix will be capable?
- The Minimix 130 weighs 34kg vs the Minimix 150 weighing over double at 72kg. Is the Minimix likely to tip over easier with a full drum? Why does it weigh so much less? On the plus side, it's going to be much easier to transport on your own.
Is there any other difference between the two which would make the Minimix 130 so much cheaper than the Minimix 150??
