From the video

Answers: Should I buy a Harbor Freight concrete mixer or rent a Mudmixer for a DIY concrete slab?

The Harbor Freight concrete mixer costs $269 to buy, whereas renting a Mudmixer costs about $105 per day.
Using the Mudmixer took 3 hours and 30 minutes of pour time with an average of 4 minutes per 80 lb bag.
Using the Harbor Freight mixer took 5 hours and 45 minutes of pour time with an average of 7 minutes per 80 lb bag.
The Harbor Freight mixer is better for small projects stretched over a long duration because you own it, while the Mudmixer is much faster and better for larger projects.
