Ryobi 5 cu. ft. Concrete Mixer is MONEY: Review/Demo

A quick review of the Ryobi 5.0 cu. ft. Portable Concrete Mixer from Home Depot. It's a capable, well-built piece of equipment that's often on sale for a very reasonable price.

Thanks for the video. Wheel positions are made to be pulled not pushed. Except for positioning/aligning.

I love it, for the price and the labor it saves the quality is good, I watched a video where someone put air tires on from harbor freight or somewhere and it was pretty cool . Nice and quiet and to me it already replaced a slab in my driveway

thanks for the video!

Excellent review. If I buy one, those cheap wheels would be replaced with larger pneumatic ones. Adding two smaller swivel and lockable wheels on the rear might help too.

[@aaronsrapidreviews]

Adding some smaller casters to the rear might be a good idea. Though in practice, I'm wondering if the mixer would tend to "walk" while it was mixing if it had four wheels.

Thanks for your reply. As a DIY'er, I often come up with 'sounds good to me' ideas. This might not be one of them. I'll work on a better idea and call you in the morning.@@aaronsrapidreviews

If doing large parcels, I'd do away with the wheels altogether and mount it on a trailer hitch platform, then slap it on an atv, tractor, etc.

@@marcushennings9513 Thanks for your reply. Your idea sounds workable. Draw some plans showing how you would build one and get a patent. A video demonstration video would be interesting to watch.

[@artillerybuff2000]

Did you try pivoting the drum and pouring into a wheel barrel from the side? I've seen other videos of this same mixer doing that quite easily...

[@kevinhornbuckle]

I got one that is under the Husky label. Just had to trouble shoot what looked to be a seized motor. Got it working. Feel free to ask me for advice. These are a good deal, but you need to change a few things to keep them going.

Hello, How long did it take you to mix those 40 bags?
Thank you

[@aaronsrapidreviews]

Couple hours, but I was also simultaneously working the forms

You can pull it instead of pushing it when moving it... Its a lot easier

[@matthewhenderson756]

How loud is it? Couldn't tell with the voiceover. Would it be an acceptable level of noise in an apartment?

[@aaronsrapidreviews]

It's actually very quiet.

[@kevinwarner959]

Yes, very very quiet

[@belabelableck3604]

Maybe a bigger size will help. I don't thing this with help deck a concrete floor.

[@mohamedbader3577]

But the water before

[@tomasgimenez4592]

Very poor deisgn for pouring

[@aaronsrapidreviews]

It honestly could be a bit better

[@outlet6989]

Some plywood splash panels would take care of that. When I buy something like this, it becomes a DIY project.

[@EnglebertHumperdinck]

Why are you talking like that? It's really annoying. Nobody ever talks like that except people narrating UA-cam videos.

[@dangrimes5078]

i think that's the way he talks. It didn't seem too bad tbh.
