“I can mix it! and Brilliant!”
―Dizzy's original catchphrases


Dizzy is Bob's orange tilting-drum cement mixer trailer. She is the only female (in most dubs) and the second youngest machine in Bob's building yard. She is eager, curious and easily excitable and dances around the yard when anxious.

Biography

As shown in When Bob Became A Builder, she was the third machine to join Bob's team. She came in to help out Bob with the cement after Muck called her for help. However, her singing would cause disruptions, so Bob decided to give her headphones.

Personality

Dizzy is energetic, curious and cheerful and a bit of a know-it-all. Like Roley, she enjoys music but only listens to music through her headphones. In the original series, she has the ability to stand on her rear tires similar to how dogs can stand on their hind legs. She does have a soft spot for friends and she is always ready to lend a helping hand. She is also a bit of a tomboy.

Livery

Dizzy is a small, orange tilting-drum cement mixer. She has an orange mouth and big, round eyes. Her wheels are black. She also has a black stripe across her mixer drum.
