The Handy THLCHCM is the fourth pick in this guide: an electric H-frame mixer on wheels, with a 550W motor, a 125-litre drum and a listed price of £274.99. It carries 4.4 out of 5 from 21 ratings and sits at 91 in Amazon's Concrete Tools category. It is the only mixer in this guide whose listing describes a spring-loaded tipping wheel that turns the drum through 360 degrees for pouring from different angles.

The number to watch here is the one in the title. The drum is quoted at 125 litres, but the mixing capacity is 90 litres — 72% of the drum, which sits inside the 71-90% spread the rest of this guide covers. The same listing then calls the steel hopper "a generous 90L", so the bullet is quoting the mixing figure while the title is quoting the drum figure, and the two are describing the same component with different numbers. The rating breakdown is worth a second look as well: the three bars are listed as 17, 24 and 59, which total 100, next to a listing that says 21 ratings.

Everything on this page, prices and figures included, is taken from the Amazon listing for this mixer. We have not run one of these machines ourselves.

## Questions people ask

**Is the drum 125 litres or 90 litres?**

The Handy lists drum capacity as 125 litres and mixing capacity as 90 litres in the same title. The 90-litre figure is also what its bullet uses when it calls the steel hopper "a generous 90L".

**How quickly does the THLCHCM mix a batch?**

The Handy quotes a 550W motor that starts instantly by rotating the drum and mixing paddle at 26.6rpm, combining gravel, sand, cement and water.

**Can I move it around once it is assembled?**

The listing describes an H-frame with wheels: you lift and push the mixer to the site or to a wheelbarrow, and the H-frame is there to keep it stable while mixing.

**How heavy is it and how big is the box?**

The Handy THLCHCM is listed at 52 kg item weight, in a package measuring 77 x 67 x 50 cm.

**Does the rating breakdown match the number of ratings?**

The bars are listed as 17, 24 and 59, which add up to 100, while the same listing quotes 4.4 out of 5 from 21 ratings. Those two figures do not match.

**What would I use it for?**

The Handy lists plaster, mortar and concrete for jobs from garden walls and stone BBQs to fence posts and repairing in-ground swimming pools, with a 1-year warranty and an aftercare team based in the UK.
