1. What is a Hand Mixer?
The electric mixer is an essential household appliance engineered to whip, blend, or homogenize food ingredients like eggs, cream, or other mixtures. It functions through a motorized rotating drive mechanism (beaters or whisks) that generates continuous, stable mixing motions, making the process significantly more efficient than manual methods.
Mixers are available in various structural configurations, including handheld models, countertop stand mixers, and units integrated with a mixing bowl, all featuring different power ratings and features. This market diversity addresses diverse consumer needs but simultaneously necessitates stringent testing and certification according to relevant technical regulations to guarantee product safety and compliance with the Legal Regulations for Hand Mixers in Vietnam.
