The primary function of the hand mixer is to mix food (eggs, cake, etc.) by using a small motor to rotate two beaters.
User requirements:
- Mixes foods
- Is handheld and ergonomic
- Visually Appealing
- Does not Jam with food
- Durability
Engineering specifications:
- maximum weight
- minimum mixer speed
- variable speed
- Food can not get into the mechanism
- high gear reduction ratio
