Introduction
We present a hand mixer that is as simple to store as it is to use. Any task specified in a recipe is completed by the Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9 Speed Hand Mixer, which can then be tucked away in its own storage case. Just clean it up and store it after it has combined thick batters, made fluffy meringues, and worked homemade bread dough. The chef’s whisk, dough hooks, and extra-long beaters fit inside a transparent case, and the mixer snaps onto the top. Powerful, flawless control, and small storage. Anyone can enjoy that mixer.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. The maximum rating 200W is based on the accessory dough hooks attachment (not included in this unit) that draws the greatest power and that other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this mixer adequately blend the egg and sugar mixture for baking?
It does, indeed. It will also whip up some excellent meringue and beat cookie dough. This mixer has a lot of strength.
What safety precautions should I take when using a mixer?
Working elevated beneath a machine without safety pins or locking collars is not recommended. DON’T remove items until the mixer or disperser has been turned off and all motion has stopped. Keep in mind that any moving part poses a risk. DO NOT attempt to remove anything stuck in the machine while it is in operation.
What occurs if you take out the USB before you eject it?
Your data might be compromised if you unplug your USB hard drive prematurely because it might still be writing data to the drive. Consequently, your file might not be saved to the drive or it might become corrupted.
Do I always need to eject the USB?
You can securely remove a USB flash drive from a PC that is running either an updated version of Windows 10 or any version of Windows 11 at any time without first ejecting it. However, you must still eject the drive before unplugging it if you’re using a Mac or a Linux computer.
What purpose does a hand mixer serve?
With hand mixers, you can mix, whip, knead, and do other things to your favorite baking or cooking recipes. A hand mixer is a flexible tool that can help you achieve the ideal consistency for your recipe, whether it’s for a savory dish or a sweet treat.
Has the count-up timer been added to this mixer?
There are 9 speeds and 220 watts. I’m not sure what you mean by a timer that counts up. To mix cookie dough, I simply want to affix a large beater bar to my blender.
When storing it away, does the power cord hang on the side or does it fit inside the transparent storage container?
Along with its utensils, the power cord needs to be organized neatly in the plastic bottom. The entire plastic box is then stored on the mixer’s bottom using clips. Outside of the bottom plastic box, the cord is not hanging.
Is it silent?
Yes, for a hand mixer, it is extremely powerful and quiet.
Can you buy a splatter guard for this? The batter flies all over when I mix it.
Yes! They come in many different sizes. I had to use mine a few times before I got the hang of it, but there are some ingredients I can’t mix without it. I love using my mixer to shred chicken.
Can I use this mixer without a converter in the Philippines? We ran all of our appliances on 220 volts.
You will need to use a converter as this is 120v.
