Electric cement mixer

[hamsey]

Need to purchase a portable electric cement mixer to pour some piers and pads for a wood storage structure. Anyone used one and can make a recommendation? Currently thinking about: http://www.multiquip.com/multiquip/MC3SEA.htm. I see cheaper ones that 1/2 hp but do not know it that will be enough. I will be pouring (15) 10"Ø piers 4' deep with a bell bottom and (12) 28"x 18"x 5 1/2" Pads later in the summer. Thanks for any input.

1/2 hp will have no problem running that thing. It is geared down to only a few revolutions per minute. I run 1/3 hp on a much older (and larger) steel/cast version.
