Advantages: Bargain price, 5 speed settings Disadvantages: Only availble from Argos, only comes in white, Chrome plated Beaters
and 150 watts of power. I have never needed to use anything more powerful than the second speed setting when using it for baking.
The beaters are released from the mixer by pressing down the button which has the numbers for the speed settings on. Although most of the time I forget to do this and just pull them out. I don't struggle to do this, but as yet have never had them fly out while I've been using it.
It feels quite solid to use and although it is weighty it isn't too heavy so it isn't uncomfortable or awkward to use. The handle isn't particularly big so people with larger hands may struggle to hold it comfortably.
Being quite small and compact it easily fits into a cupboard or drawer for storage.
When in use it is quite noisy but you can still hold a conversation, and I don't really use it for long periods of time so I can put up ...
Advantages: Lightweight, powerful 200cc two-stroke motor, proven over time Disadvantages: Wheel base and width cause instability in some situations.
The Yamaha Blaster is a legend in its own right. It has been in production for many a year now and has sold in large numbers worldwide. Its success has mainly been down to the large spread of potential buyers that it caters for. Although its main target is the rookie rider, it has sufficient power to thrill most users while providing good value for money and great reliability.
I have had my Blaster now for 7 years and had very few mechanical issues with her. Of course i have had to change tyres and top up fuel and oil levels when needed. I do as a matter of good maintenance, keep the chain and other moving parts oiled and greased, but this level of maintenance is expected on all such machines.

I have always thought Lego Duplo bricks one of the best construction bricks for young children aged between 2 and 5. This Duplo cement mixer would be ideal as a Christmas present. Fantastic as an individual toy a start to a Duplo collection. This cement mixer would also be ideal if you child has a Duplo basic brick set too. .
We all know children love to see Lorries and cement mixers at work. Some building work was going on near my grandson's house when he was about 3. His mother would regularly walk nearby and have to stop for ages watching the builders and the cement mixer.
This Duplo cement mixer costs £12.99 from http://shop.lego.com /product/?p=4976&LangId=2057&ShipTo=UK http://www.toysrus.co.uk is selling for £14.99. Lots of other shop sites selling it for between £12 and £15.
So what do you get for your money ehh ...
