i see it's a mixer you can leave to mix onit's own, and not make a mess ! well it sounds better than most labourers then , i bet it will be expensive .....though

They are usually about £800ish, yep quite a lot of dosh. I phoned up Trimline and they were cutting stock so i payed about £350 i think, i had tons of floors on at the time so it paid for itself in no time. Mixes two 20kg bags in on go.

How do you rate the raimondi berta Dave, I have the berta adv and dont use it that often as i think a washboy is quicker and far less hassle to set up

I'm considering a sigma 3cm or 3ck to replace my ts60plus and also considering the pull handle rather than the push. If anyone has recently gone over to the sigma side could you let me know if they are easy to get used to.

the way I see it is, if your going to get a sigma then get the tried and tested handle (pull) rather than the 3M or 3E. The traditional hull handle is designed for speed and that's really one of the beneficial advantages of the cutter. I do have the push handle on my 3EM, this is better for textured tiles. Switching from rubi, it will take you a few days to really get used to using the sigma.
