Finishing Concrete by Hand or with a Power Trowel? (What's Easier)

#EverythingAboutConcrete #MikeDayConcrete
On this small concrete floor addition I was planning to finish the concrete by hand. It was all going to be covered by tile so it didn't need a "smooth as glass" finish.
As I started finishing, the concrete had a "sandy" feel to the surface and the sun was bearing down on it so I decided to pull out my mini power trowel and finish it with that.
Which way is easier? Check out the video and let me know in the comments.
