bitmixer.io is a mixing service I have used about twelve times, ALL have gone smoothly.  I have also used sharedcoin.com's mixing service several times, everything went fine with them too, every time.  In all cases, I mixed between 0.2 and 1.2 BTC each, no large amounts.

Both services take perhaps an hour to 90 minutes after you send off your coins (that includes a confirmation or two for receipt of your newly-mixed BTC).

Does it really make your bitcoins "untraceable"?  Wouldn't there always be some way to go back far enough, if you had enough time, and see where all the bitcoins came from?  

Plus if you mix coins there and they've received stolen coins, won't you be receiving some stolen coins and then it'll look like you're a thief?

No I dont escrow anymore.
How long would it take the mixer to mix these amounts?

20 bitcoins.

50 bitcoins.

100 bitcoins.

The way you ask the question suggests that you have to understand how a mixer works first.

A simple mixer works like this:
You send your coins (amount is irrelevant as long as the mixing service can cover it) to address A (belongs to the mixing service) and get your coins back from address B (which also belongs to the mixing service) .
When B is empty or has not enough to cover your input in A it would not be accepted before all coins from A have been moved to B.
So as long as B has sufficient coins the mixing takes as long as the mixing provider sees fit. Maybe they want 6 confirmations or maybe only 1, but the amount you want to mix makes no differnce besides for the security needs of the mixing service.

Quote
Less than 25 BTC - 1 confirmation;
Less than 250 BTC - 3 confirmations;
Less than 1000 BTC - 4 confirmations;
More than 1000 BTC - 5 confirmations.

Depends about what security level you would like.

You can tell them how long until they release the coins, and release few at time, so I think any time you would like

Bittmixer.io has over 2.2k bitcoins for immediate mixing.

Shouldn't take any longer than a normal transaction.
