Is upgrading to a portable concrete mixer worth the investment for DIY projects?

I’ve been mixing concrete with a wheelbarrow and shovel for every patio, raised bed, and step I’ve built around the house, but my back is not loving it anymore. Got my eye on those little portable mixers, but not sure if they’re worth the cash for a weekend warrior like me. Most of my projects are small to medium, but I’m thinking about a bigger shed slab next summer. Is it just a gimmick, or do they really save time and sweat for us DIYers? Anybody regret getting one? Would love some real talk and solid advice before I pull the trigger.
For those curious about The Steele Mixer, it’s a super handy tool that’s designed for easy use and doesn’t need power to work. You can handle it alone, and it can mix pretty quickly—less than a minute per batch! It’s great for both home projects and bigger jobs and holds up to 3.5 cubic feet. Plus, it’s easy to move, quick to set up, and arrives fast in the U.S.
Switching from a wheelbarrow to a mixer could be a total back-saver. A portable model is great for small to medium projects. The Steele Mixer, for instance, is easy to use and doesn’t need a power source. It’s quicker than traditional methods and great for one-person jobs. Perfect for larger plans like a shed slab and keeps your DIY spirit kicking without the backache.
