When I used the afformentioned cement mixer for the plaster on my 
earth-bag wall...it worked just fine. Mixed up the render without a 
problem..

And then I could turn around and use it to pour the concrete piers 
for my patio...something you wouldn't do with a mortar mixer (the 
aggregate can jam up the paddlesl).

I would suggest you try it ....rent a cement mixer and try it with 
your render. For a pro who does it every day...a mortar mixer is a 
must. But for the occasional builder, a cement mixer is much less 
expensive and more useful.

The only problem is all your friends want to borrow it all the time..

Peace,
Matt
