It's been several years, but as I recall that hand crank mixer didn't have a long run. Not that it was ever intended to have a long run.
I agree about the leg powered mixer.
I think any manual powered mixer would work dramatically better if it included a heavy flywheel. That would make it easer to chop up larger chunks without stalling out, but you'd then need some kind of a clutch between the flywheel and the blade. Otherwise, it would be a nightmare to start up with material in the tank. Another big drawback with a heavy flywheel is that the light weight portability of the mixer would be reduced.

I simply asked a question. I think a manual mixer might be better made as something one could sit on and use the legs which are stronger than the arms in most cases. I was wondering, well, how this one worked out in the long run.
