It's essential to the material from when it's mixed, unplug it, and get it to where it actually has to be spread. So that's it's the advantage it has over any other mixer in the market. That's where the Hippo really comes in to shine. *   *The job in Surrey Hills that we were doing was a cementitious flooring system, and we had two mixers going where which allowed us to lay the floor continuously, which is very important when you are laying a floor of that size; it was around 750 square meters, to eliminate getting that wet edge.*   *We would reckon that its two thirds faster than any other mixer on the market. We are saving in labor with the Hippo and thus being a bit more competitive with our pricing. *   *In the long run, we would definitely be winning more projects because of that competitive edge."*   John Wilson Project Manager [ProFloor Epoxy Systems](https://www.profloorepoxy.com.au/) - [November 2022 (5)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2022/11) - [December 2022 (5)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2022/12) - [May 2020 (3)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2020/05) - [February 2022 (3)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2022/02) - [June 2020 (2)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2020/06) - [April 2020 (1)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2020/04) - [July 2020 (1)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2020/07) - [October 2020 (1)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2020/10) - [August 2021 (1)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2021/08) - [March 2022 (1)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2022/03) - [June 2022 (1)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2022/06) - [July 2022 (1)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2022/07) - [August 2023 (1)](https://blog.portamix.com/archive/2023/08) See all ![footer%20PortaMix](https://blog.portamix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Portamix_April2020/images/footer%20PortaMix.png?width=1000&name=footer%20PortaMix.png) - - - - [Home](https://portamix.com/) - [Products](https://portamix.com/products/) - [Testimonials](https://portamix.com/reviews/) - [Distributors](https://portamix.com/find-a-dealer/) - [Contact](https://www.portamix.com/contact-us) - [Privacy](https://portamix.com/privacy/) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "VideoObject", "contentUrl" : "https://5859068.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5859068/Videos/Portamix%20Mega%20Hippo%20Testimonial%20by%20John%20Wilson%20from%20Pro%20Floor.mp4", "dateModified" : "2022-03-01T03:16:01.156Z", "duration" : "PT59S", "height" : 1080, "name" : "Portamix Mega Hippo Testimonial by John Wilson from Pro Floor", "thumbnailUrl" : "https://api-na1.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v3/files/thumbnail-redirect/28872245783?portalId=5859068&size=medium&t=1646104861745", "uploadDate" : "2020-04-28T09:51:53.309Z", "width" : 1920 } ```
