I used this mixer for a large deck project, 18 piers and footings, 190-60 pound bags. It says it can hold 4 bags but I never mixed more than one 60 pounder at a time. I read too many reviews where the users burned out the motors on these small machines. It wasn't necessary anyway since 15 seconds after emptying the bag into the drum (with 3 quarts water placed first), it was ready to wheel up to and pour in the hole. The drum opening is low enough where you can lean the bag of concrete on your knee as you load saving your back. This machine is not for large projects. If you are pouring a slab bigger than 7-8 cu/ft get something else. It comes with the worst assembly instructions I've ever seen. It took three times longer to get it together than it should have. The handles and drum come apart for easy storage.

I took some time to get started (months) from purchase date to actual usage, but I can say without reservation this little bugger kicks [...]!!! The ability to roll the unit to the drop point is invaluable..."I've poured side walks, slabs, and some hobby crap for the Mrs"...This unit runs quiet!!! A small platform of blocks and plyboard if you want to keep it stationary and use a wheelbarrow. I put this unit thru some on site realtime tests...she performed without a hitch...."value for the buck"

Just put this together... the hardware that comes with it should be replaced with better bolts/nuts, etc... Very dissappointed in the quality. Will have to replace bolts that stripped out before being close to being tight. Operation is not bad at all, but a hand full of grade 8 bolts to replace what comes with it may not be a bad idea. Also, adding another support across the bottom would prolong the life of the frame.
