Hi Seb and welcome to the forum. If you have a generous budget, then buy a Refina or Eibenstock mixing drill. Belmore boy on here can help you out with that. As for your pricing questions, I think it's only mannerly to ease yourself into the forum a bit before going for the jugular and ask about pricing. I get the impression from your post that you are just starting up on your own or thinking about having a go at taping & jointing. There's lots of info on here if you use the search facility.

Good evening Seb. Welcome to the forum
You should have an idea of how much money you can afford to spend, and how powerful it has to be before you buy a mixer. 9 times out of 10 you get what you pay forYour messages are really important to us

shame you have that mixing paddle seb, as most of the popular mixers are M14 threaded - never seen the dewalt on general sale in the uk - do you sell it guy4tools? in 110v
Tony's right though the Refina which are made by eibenstock also branded as alfra mixers are top noth and you def get what you pay for, look to spend around 150 - 200 notes and you will get a mixer that will last for years and offer trouble free mixing.The Uk's No 1 Drylining & Plastering Tool Store

i would agree, you will need something like a dewalt for the paddle your using. The us version has about twice the power of the UK version due to the gear ratios, it is compact and powerful. I have used it for floor screed, sticking, plaster and mud mixing and it has been more than man enough for the job.

refina, had mine a while now used everyday no problems(touch wood)kiss of death.
if your getting a mixer get one about 750rpm at least thatll make light work of any lumpy fastset or finish...

im using one of the little ryobi ones that i picked up for cheap. i wasnt sure about the mixing head but it drags the mud down to the bottom beautifully. it does a good job on drywall compound etc but i wouldnt fancy its chances knocking up 3 or 4 gagues of skim every day.

That mixing paddle that Rick Hardman makes is really good. I've been using it loads lately with my 22v cordless for joint filler, cove adhesive, and smaller joint cement batches.

I use a alfra/eibenstock with reverse collomix paddle (got it from belmore).Its mint,so powerful and the paddle reduces splashing and makes the machine half the weight.Highly recommended.
