Collomix XO10 NC Cordless Mixer - with 2 Batteries + charger

Product Information

The quality and durability of the mixing paddles are essential. Look for paddle mixers with sturdy, high-quality paddles designed for efficient mixing and capable of withstanding the forces involved in blending various materials. The power is sufficient, with enough torque to work through stiff mortar, making this one of the best paddle mixers in terms of value for money. Whilst it may not have the professional-level capacity of some more premium models, it is sufficient for the majority of DIY tasks. 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.

Permanent electronic single cell monitoring (ESCP) when charging, for a particularly long service life The best paddle mixers offer variable speeds, giving you more control when mixing . Some models will offer gradual variation between speeds, whilst others will just have two set speeds. Whilst there’s only one speed setting, it does feature a ‘soft-start’ function to prevent splashes when switching the machine on. The lower mix speed also generally helps reduce mess throughout. Powered by a 1600 W motor, it’s a corded model with 140 mm paddles and is ideal for mid-viscosity liquids like glue, paint, plaster and mortar. 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.

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. Most heavy-duty paddle mixers have twin handles – these are essential as the machines are quite heavy and can vibrate whilst in use. With 54 V of power behind it, DEWALT claim that it achieves the same power as a corded machine – it certainly seems to perform well, with conservative battery usage and the ability to mix heavily viscous material.

The Hexofix system on the mixing drill allows the user to dislocate the paddle and store it in the battery powered paddle mixers designated slot on the handle. 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.There are five speed settings in total that can be adjusted using a dial on an upward-facing side of the handle. The speeds range from 300 – 725 rpm and can be easily altered whilst working, depending on the requirements of the material. 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.

Everything firmly in place: Thrust holder for the battery with secure fixation; with button to release 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.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. The battery powered mixing drill from PFT Wales in Swansea UK cuts an impressive figure with excellent ergonomics for uncramped and comfortable working. 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. Bosch are pretty consistent when it comes to churning out quality tools, and their GRW 18-2 E Professional Paddle Mixer is no exception. There are no surprises – it works as you would expect, efficiently mixing mortar, paint, plaster and other viscous materials.

A comfortable and ergonomic design is important for prolonged use. Look for cordless paddle mixers with well-designed handles and grip, reducing fatigue and improving control during mixing. Cordless paddle mixers are powered by rechargeable batteries. Look for models with high-capacity lithium-ion batteries that offer longer runtimes, minimizing downtime and allowing for continuous mixing.
