Electric Cement Mixer Or Gas Powered Cement Mixer

One of the biggest inconveniences when mixing concrete, is running over an electrical cord, with your wheelbarrow, every time that you go to move a load of concrete that you have just mixed. One of the other inconveniences, when using a gas powered cement mixers, is the fact that you need to turn the gas motor off, when you’re not using it and restart it, when you are.

Each one of these problems can irritate, the workers who are mixing the concrete. I have talked to people that use cement mixers on a regular basis and have gotten two sides to both stories. What’s better than electric cement mixers or a gas powered cement mixers?

It all depends on what you’re going to be doing with the cement mixer. If you’re not going to be mixing your concrete, near electricity, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to purchase a gas powered cement mixer.

If you don’t feel like starting and stopping these large concrete mixing devices and you’re not interested in going down to the gas station, every time that you run out of fuel, I would recommend that you purchase an electric cement mixer.

The most common cement mixer used by professionals, is a gas powered cement mixer. They have more power usually and seem to have less problems and can be located, anywhere. This makes a big difference, when you’re working on large block walls, out in the middle of nowhere.

I own an electric cement mixer and have been happy with it for years. Almost every job that I do, is right next to the house and there is usually an electrical outlet that I can plug into, located conveniently. I also enjoy the fact that I can turn the switch on or off, whenever I’m not mixing concrete. This is one of the most important things to me and would be a determining factor, on my choice, whether to purchase a gas powered cement mixers or an electric powered cement mixers.
