Collomix XO10 NC Cordless Mixer - with 2 Batteries + charger

Product Information

For domestic DIY jobs, I recommend choosing a paddle mixer that weighs under 5kg . These are more manageable to use for long periods and shouldn’t cause any strain. Only choose a heavier model if you are comfortable supporting larger weights. Permanent electronic single cell monitoring (ESCP) when charging, for a particularly long service life Most heavy-duty paddle mixers have twin handles – these are essential as the machines are quite heavy and can vibrate whilst in use. Used to facilitate the mixing of cement, mortar, adhesive, paint and other viscous liquids, paddle mixers can save time, energy and money. They’re easy to transport, versatile, and often save the need for hiring larger mixers.

Paddle mixers for professional jobs will have around 1800 W of power. The more powerful a paddle mixer is, the more strength it will have behind its paddle. Whilst less powerful models may stutter when mixing highly-viscous liquids, larger motors should allow the paddles to power through. Whilst mixers can be expensive, this Silverline 263965 DIY Plaster Mixer is a great budget option that has been trialled by both professionals and DIYers alike. Bridging the gap between budget and premium models, this VonHaus Paddle Mixer Drill is an affordable option whilst still coming from a well-known brand.Double, ergonomic, soft-grip handles can make it much easier to control powerful mixers and reduce the strain on arms and hands. Paddle mixers have rotating blades and often a couple of gears or speeds. They are powered by either electricity or petrol, with the electric mixers being either mains or battery powered. Cordless paddle mixers are portable power tools designed for mixing various materials such as paint, adhesives, mortar, and more. They are battery-operated, eliminating the need for a power cord and allowing for greater mobility and flexibility. Cordless paddle mixers typically feature variable speed settings to control the mixing intensity and are equipped with durable mixing paddles for efficient and thorough blending. These tools are popular among professionals in the construction, remodelling, and painting industries, as well as DIY enthusiasts, for their convenience and versatility in mixing applications. Ergonomically adapted handles on the mean the machine sits well in your hands. And with Collomix’s very own HEXAFIX coupling, you can change the mixer in next to no time.

Many smaller mixers have less substantial handles, and normally require hands to be positioned at differing angles to each other. As long as the machine is sufficiently light, this should still be comfortable. Plus, with smaller machines you are unlikely to be holding them for as long, as they will be used for smaller jobs. Thanks to the rubberised coating on the handle, as well as its shape, it’s easy to grip whilst working giving good control over the machine. Electronic speed regulation using the electronic switch with a safety on/off function enables smooth acceleration and clean working. When operating at full power, the electric motor unleashes surprisingly high forces for optimum homogenisation of the materials.The last thing to think about is cable length . If you choose a corded model, you’ll need a cable that’s not too restrictive. A 2m cord is generally suitable for home use , but you may want to look for something longer depending on the location of your power outlets. If you’d prefer to have a cordless mixer, you’ll be pleased to learn that DEWALT have successfully created one as part of their XR FLEXVOLT line. The DCD240N-XJ Paddle Mixer comes as a bare unit, and can be used with the same interchangeable batteries as other DEWALT tools in the same range. For home DIY jobs, like mixing plaster, paint, and cement, low-powered machines with around 850W of power are a suitable choice. These will generally be more affordable than mixers with a higher motor. If you want to mix higher-viscosity liquids, like glue, look for a motor of at least 1600W. For this reason, it’s one of the best paddle mixers for doing occasional DIY – especially when you don’t want to spend a lot on new tools – but it shouldn’t be relied upon for heavy-duty, professional-level jobs.

The maximum mixing capacity of a cordless paddle mixer can vary depending on the specific model and brand. Generally, cordless paddle mixers are designed to handle mixing tasks ranging from small to medium-sized batches. The maximum mixing capacity is often specified by the manufacturer and can range from a few gallons to several gallons of material. It's important to consult the product specifications or the manufacturer's guidelines to determine the specific maximum mixing capacity for a particular cordless paddle mixer model.

When it comes to the best paddle mixers, I’ve chosen the VonHaus Paddle Mixer Drill as my top recommendation. This affordable model is great for DIY, with a 1600W motor and 140mm paddle. It can handle high-viscosity materials and is suitable for mixing smaller loads up to 25kg. Everything firmly in place: Thrust holder for the battery with secure fixation; with button to release Yes, it is necessary to use specific mixing paddles for different materials when using a cordless paddle mixer. Mixing paddles are designed with specific shapes, sizes, and configurations to suit different types of materials such as paint, plaster, cement, or other viscous substances. Using the appropriate mixing paddle ensures efficient mixing, proper blending, and prevents potential damage to the mixer or inconsistent results. It is important to select the correct mixing paddle based on the material being mixed to achieve the desired consistency and quality.
