Dnipro-M BM-162S (80636000)

The Ukrainian company Dnipro-M has been working on the east european market of tools for professional and home construction for 10 years. The company produces not only power tools, but also spare parts for them, so the service network is developed at a high level. The BM-162S 80636000 mixer is a powerful but inexpensive model for a builder at a price of about $80.

What's outside?

The device weighs significantly — 4.9 kg, but not so much as to burden during operation. Instead of rubberized inserts, the handrails have notches for the fingers, so they are comfortable to wrap around even when wearing mittens.

To select 1 or 2 speeds there is a rotary control, it is located in the lower part of the case, has a handle of a convenient size and grip.

Above the trigger is a lock button that allows the machine to operate continuously without the need for constant pressing, and also protects the tool from accidental activation, for example, during transportation. It is easy to press without changing the position of the hand.

What is inside?

Engine power of 1600 W and spindle speed up to 900 rpm is enough to mix liquids, dry mixes and dense solutions up to 25 liters. This is not much, but let's not forget that the tool is household. But the manufacturer claims that you can work for two hours in a row. For thicker formulations, it is better to reduce the speed to 600 rpm so that the engine does not heat up too much. The speed of rotation of the spindle within the established limits depends on the force of pressing the trigger.

The mixer comes with a 140 mm stirrer attachment, a 22 mm open-end wrench, a set of spare brushes and instructions.

As a result, for affordable money we get a functional device BM-162S 80636000 for homework. For large volumes, you will need something more impressive and more expensive. For example, Stanley SDR1400.
