Frequently Asked Questions

True low speed?

I had to send mine back because the “low” speed was way too fast and threw flour everywhere. If you only need it for things like cake mixes from a box, then this is a good little beater. We ended up buying a Kitchen Aid beater ( KitchenAid KHM512IC 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer) that has a true low speed and is a very good machine for . It also has a DC motor to power it.

Can you make bread dough with this? Does it come with necessary attachments?

This is a light-weight beater that comes with two regular beaters. To make bread dough, you would need a stronger machine with bread hooks. We use a Kitchen Aid stand mixer (around $200) and it works great. Another alternative, buy a bread machine and use the program that makes the dough without baking the bread.

The attachments are too big to lie flat in case. Really hard to fit everything & the cord in case as shown. I followed the photo exactly. ?

I came to this section looking for an answer to this same thing. I also tried referring to the box and putting them in the exact same way but the attachments are just too long for the case, let alone fitting the cord in there too

Can you purchase an additional whisk?

No

Does this mixer come with the electrical cord?

Yes, and the cord stores in the detachable compartment. It’s a bit tight getting the cord in the compartment as the cord comes out of the rear of the mixer and the “anchor” that holds the compartment in place is also at the rear. I’m hoping the cord limbers up a bit to make storage easier.

If this machine can egg beater to cream？

Yes.

I have trouble keeping both beaters in the mixer. Anyone have any tips on what to do?

I found the beaters worked best if you snap the one on the left in first then the right one. If it doesn’t snap switch the beaters to opposite side. I noticed one beater always fits best on the left.

Can we buy the beaters separately?

I’m sure you can, just look up the item & it should have just the accessories sold separately.

Are the compatible dough hooks for purchase?

Not sure if dough hooks are available (I doubt it) because this is not made for making bread dough. You would need something built a lot better for dough.

How long it takes to whip egg white to firm peak?

Around 4 minutes by starting at low speed and moving to the highest speed level.

Do you have it in 220v? How to order this voltage?

No

Can anybody check in the sticker if it is dual voltage? I mean if it cam be used either with 110v or 220v ?

120v 60hz only.

Can you make soap with this?

You would be better off using a stick blender for making soap. It will bring it to trace much quicker and keeps your Ingredients emulsified.

Does anyone know if you can use it with just one beater attached. I blend my yogurt & bananas with just one beater so I always have a clean one.

Yes! It should work fine with just one beater attached. This item comes with one wisk and 2 beaters.

Can it blend cream cheese without breaking?

Yeah! I’ve only made cheesecake with my mixer, and it was fine each time.

Can I make wipe cream with this?

I think you can, but I would choose the wire whip.

Can I use this in a 240V plug?

I think yes, 8f you have right adaptor/connector.
