I see netto are...

doing a better looking cement mixer than Aldi's for a 100GBP. ;-)

[Chris Bacon]

I was going to say "Get awa, ye bstard swine that y'are", like the Scotch fellow with the string vest, but Netto's is 63L capacity (not

100), and it's only a 220W motor, not a 550W one. I thought for a moment I'd wasted money I could have spent on "cold cure". Phew!

One shouldn't rely on the write up on these ads as well you found out when you bought the aldi model, ie it had higher specs motor wise than the ad let on.

As for capacity size would you really fill it up to the brim?

[Chris Bacon]

No, about 2/3 full (roughly 70L v. 40L). A Minimix (popular make) churns out about 90L at a time.

You are better off finding the optimum mixing load with any mixer and if you need a great deal mixed make a few loads of dry mixed.

Then put a barrowload back in using alternate shovles for each pile until it has all gone.

The mix will be well mixed and better matched a lot quicker than doing one maximum mix at a time.

So have you built the thing yet? :-)

[Chris Bacon]

Maybe in May. I've a bit of paperwork to do first. Have taken note of your experience for use then!

[Chris Bacon]

And another thing. Why have they a picture of an SDS with the jawed chuck fitted, and an SDS chisel stuck in the jawed chuck?

[Andy Hall]

No, they never have.

[manatbandq]

Ha, ha, very funny. Don't let your predjudices blind you from the truth.

[Chris Bacon]

Bother, I was going to reply similarly, but I didn't, as I've never been in a Netto.

[Chris Bacon]

Any f+d people whether Netto food is good, bad, or indifferent?

[manatbandq]

Given that they sell the same brands as many other high street shops I would say at least some of it's perfectly acceptable. Dunno about the own brand stuff, if there is a Netto brand.

MBQ

[Chris Bacon]

Ah, I see - I've only experience of Aldi and Lidl, who rarely sell "named" brands, but much of whose "stuff" is good.

[Doctor Drivel]

Their wine is excellent. Unlike Aldi and Lidl they sell branded wines and very cheap too.

[Doctor Drivel]

Nescafe is well...Nescafe...and they sell it cheaper than anyone else.

[manatbandq]

Nor has Lord Hall, obviously.

The message from "Doctor Drivel" contains these words:

Shame it being cheaper doesn't make it taste better, innit!
