High-quality internal surface for heating water

All elements of the kettle that come into contact with water, namely inner surface, the cover and temperature sensor are made of 304 stainless steel from Pohang Iron and Steel Company (Posco), conforming to GB9684 standard. This material is absolutely safe for health, therefore it is widely used in medical and food industries, does not form plaque or scale, has no odors and is easy to clean.

Thanks to the optimized electrical connector in the center of the stand, the risk of electric shock when touched is minimized. Moreover, even if water gets inside the stand, current leakage will be eliminated. The Xiaomi electric kettle also has protection against idle heating: if there is insufficient water, it will automatically turn off in order to prevent the device from burning out and other dangerous situations.

Temperature conditions for different requirements

Various varieties teas have their own brewing rules: for example, to maximize the aroma Puer tea, it is necessary to brew it with boiling water; green tea is brewed at a temperature of 80-90°C, probiotics and honey are also required certain temperature- too much hot water can nullify them beneficial features. The Xiaomi kettle is equipped with a smart temperature control function. This is done via a Bluetooth connection via mobile app Xiaomi Smart Home. With it, you can control the temperature of the water in the kettle at your discretion, for example, heat the water to a certain temperature or maintain the temperature you need after boiling.

Easy cleaning without dead spots

The inner surface of the kettle has no seams or hard-to-reach places. The case has a round and flat bottom and a wide top opening with a diameter of 130 mm, the lid opens at an angle of 80°. All this together makes it easy to clean the inside of the kettle.

Double shell for improved thermal insulation

The body of the electric kettle is made of two materials: the inner surface is made of stainless steel, the outer surface is made of food-grade polypropylene. Both surfaces form an intermediate heat-insulating layer that prevents overheating outer surface and eliminates the risk of burns. When water boils in a kettle, the surface temperature of the body does not exceed 40°C.

Design features of the Xiaomi smart kettle

1) Smooth opening of the lid

When you press the button, the lid opens at an angle of 45°, and the opening occurs smoothly, without sudden movements, to avoid splashing hot condensate. Also, if desired, the lid can be opened at an angle of 80° to thoroughly clean the inside of the kettle.

4) Temperature sensor from Nidec Shibaura/HGTECH

The temperature determination error is only ±1%. Having fixed desired temperature water, the sensor automatically turns off the heating or activates the heat preservation mode depending on your needs.

Quality water for a quality kettle

Use a kettle with a water purifier Xiaomi Mi Water Purifier to reduce scale
When boiling water containing mineral salts, bacteria, organic matter and impurities, scale forms on the inner surface of the kettle. Water purifier Xiaomi Mi Water Purifier effectively filters heavy metals, inorganic substances and suspended particles, reduces scale formation, ensures water quality that meets state standards.

Every month, Xiaomi, through its own Mijia platform, launches several new products on the market, which may be among the most different categories. These could be portable batteries or any other accessories that can change people's lives in better side. Not long ago, a kettle called Xiaomi Mi was released onto the market. Electric Kettle, which is one of the best in the world, but at the same time it is very inexpensive.

The kettle called Xiaomi Mi Electric Kettle looks simply amazing - in the best traditions of the corporate style of the Chinese corporation. In addition, it is extremely practical, lightweight and reliable, and it can also synchronize with a smartphone, so it can be used remotely. This is especially convenient, for example, in the morning, when you can turn on the kettle while lying in bed so that it can boil water for coffee or tea in advance.

The kettle itself is made of 304 stainless steel, and its design is absolutely monolithic. The width of the neck from which hot water pours out is simply huge - 130 mm, and metal cover can open to an angle of up to 75 degrees, making the kettle very convenient to clean. It’s also nice that the Xiaomi Mi Electric Kettle does not have the usual heaters, which very quickly become covered with scale. As a result, the kettle can simply be washed once every couple of weeks using regular dishwashing detergent and a sponge.

Due to the thermal insulation coating, even when there is water inside at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, the body of the kettle remains only slightly warm. Due to this, it is absolutely safe. The opening mechanism is no less interestingly implemented. Simply press the large button on its top, after which the lid will automatically open 30 degrees, and then it can be opened even further manually.

To control the temperature in the new kettle from Xiaomi, a British thermostat called STRIX is used, which is famous for its high measurement accuracy. In addition, it is extremely durable, which is why the manufacturer of the Mi Electric Kettle claims 10,000 boils of water. This means that if you turn it on four times a day, the kettle should last for 6-7 years of use. This lifespan is more than five times longer than any other kettle on the market.

In a special application for smartphones, you can use different boiling water modes, even those that allow you to make the water only slightly warm. This may be especially true in cases where you urgently need to drink tea or coffee before leaving the house, but there is no time to wait for it to cool down. No less interesting is that the owner of a Xiaomi Mi Electric Kettle, through the same application, can manually adjust the volume of the sound notification that the water has been boiled. It is very comfortable.

The best thing is that this simply amazing kettle called Xiaomi Mi Electric Kettle, which can change the lives of all people for the better, is very inexpensive.

Greetings, friends!

I’ve been eyeing a kettle from Xiaomi for a long time, but I didn’t really need it. My Moulinex BY 5001 kettle, although without smart functions, coped with the task of heating water without any questions. Why is it premature to retire a kitchen worker... However, everything has its service life, he worked for me for 5 years faithfully. And it’s still basically a worker, but water has started to leak out of it. When it’s hot, there’s no problem; it cools down and starts flooding the table. It was then that I ordered a Xiaomi kettle with all sorts of newfangled functions, in order to keep up with the progress in kettle construction)

SPECIFICATIONS

Package Contents: 1 x Original Xiaomi Mi Electric Kettle, 1 x Charging Base

PACKAGING AND DELIVERY SET

The kettle is packed in a rather large white cardboard box with a color image of a teapot. In general, the packaging was not damaged much during shipment, with the exception of slightly frayed corners.

On the reverse side are the main specifications, everything is in Chinese, unfortunately, but from the numbers you can understand what we are talking about.

Inside the box, right on the foam, we find instructions with the logo of the Xiaomi Mijia sub-brand

The instructions, as usual with Xiaomi, are only in Chinese, so they are of little use. However, there is a QR code by which you can download an application to your smartphone to control the operation of the kettle.

And under the foam plastic the culprit of today’s review is already hiding along with the stand.

The stand is made in the same color as the body of the kettle, but there is also one black element. The cable is actually not that short, it's just wound inside to occupy less space in the box. Stand diameter 145 mm, thickness 16 mm.

The cable can be unwound and it becomes the usual length, like all of its “relatives” - approximately 70 cm.

Only the plug at the end of the wire is not European... There are two ways out of the situation: replace the cable with a regular “Nashensky” one, or buy an adapter and don’t worry about it at all.

At first I wanted to replace the cable, but then the right adapter just caught my eye in the store and I realized that this was fate) It costs 4.5 Belarusian rubles, or a little over 2 dollars in equivalent.

The stand below has rubberized feet for a stable position on the surface. We immediately see a circle with a niche under it, around which the cable is wound. There is a warning: do not immerse in water.

The stand is marked: standard power characteristics, maximum power 1800 W.

DESIGN

The Xiaomi kettle has a very minimalistic design and I can’t say that it really suits me, it looks a little rustic in my opinion. However, I didn’t take it for the design) but for the Bluetooth control and interesting functionality. On the body we see the mijia logo. Case material: plastic. The only color available is white; the manufacturer does not provide any other colors.

There is a small metal “layer” at the top of the case

There is only one mechanical button on the case, it is located on the handle. When pressed, the kettle lid opens.

There is also a Bluetooth icon on the handle, because the kettle is paired with a smartphone via Bluetooth version 4.0

On the inside of the handle there are two touch buttons that are responsible for turning on the water heating and turning on the temperature maintenance function. To understand which task is currently being performed, there are red LEDs under the buttons.

The lower part of the kettle is not much different from that of other “stupid” kettles.

The internal part of the device is made of AISI 304 stainless steel. There is a two-layer insulation between the metal insides and the body of the kettle so that the body does not heat up with outside, and to maintain a constant temperature inside. The Japanese Shibaura temperature sensor is used to measure the water temperature, and the thermostat was made by the British company Strix. AISI 304 steel (The American Iron and Steel Institute) is an austenitic steel with a low carbon content. AISI 304 stainless steel is acid-resistant and can withstand short-term temperature rises of up to 900 degrees Celsius. Information taken from Wikipedia.

You can fill a maximum of 1.5 liters of water inside. Or rather, you can fill in more, just the maximum recommended mark is no more than one and a half liters.

Lid Xiaomi Kettle also double, opens by pressing the button at about 60 degrees. Manually you can open it at 85 degrees. Only after boiling, water accumulates on the inside of the lid and in this position it begins to drip onto the handle and table.

USAGE

To connect the kettle to our network, an adapter for a European outlet was purchased, I wrote about this above.

Xiaomi Mijia Smart Kettle can be used in both ways regular kettle, but this is not so interesting, it’s 2017! Give all sorts of funny things to the people! However, let's start with the simplest mode of using the kettle - manual. I poured the maximum - one and a half liters of water into the kettle and set it to warm up by pressing the touch button.

It took just over 5 minutes to heat to a boil. Mi Kettle takes a long time to cool down. An hour after boiling, the water has a temperature of 78 degrees, after two hours it is 65, after three hours it is 53.

Moreover, after boiling, the body is simply warm, it is impossible to burn your hands. Only 37 degrees Celsius.

And here metal part still heats up: 53-54 degrees, it’s better not to touch it.

When you open the lid, drops of water from the inside drip onto the handle, which is not healthy. If the lid is opened by pressing a button, then this is not critical. But if you open it to maximum, you can wet the table a little

If you turn on the temperature maintenance function by pressing the second touch button, then when the water reaches probably 55 degrees, the heating turns on again. At the same time, the kettle cools down noticeably slower than my previous one.

To unlock all the smart capabilities of the gadget, you need to download the Mi Home application from the play market. Or from 4pda the Russian version:

To log in you need a Mi account, the application is used for all gadgets of the system " smart House» from Xiaomi. It is necessary that Mi Kettle is connected to the network, and that Bluetooth is turned on on the smartphone and the proprietary application is running. The kettle was found very quickly, and the connection took a few seconds. To synchronize, you need to hold the touch button on the kettle handle for 3 seconds.

The temperature of the water in the kettle is displayed at the top. Below you can set the amount of time to maintain the selected temperature: from 1 to 12 hours. Next, set the minimum and maximum temperature. The “Cool down the boiled water” and “Warm up the water” modes are responsible for switching between two options: cooling or heating water.

The background color on which the water temperature is displayed depends on the degrees. When heating, animation and water bubbles are displayed)

And here the seagulls are ready!

RESULT

During the operation of the Mi Kettle kettle there were no special problems with it, but the device has a number of shortcomings. Firstly, what bothers me a little is that I don’t know how much water is in it. It is impossible to find out this either through the application or visually (without opening the lid). My old kettle had a window through which the water level was always visible. I think it will be useful to add it in the next version. Then the fact that after boiling a little water always drips from open lid I don’t really like the kettle handle, it’s a design flaw. The cover of the kettle itself is white and is easy to stain; it would be nice to add other body colors and change the body material to a more practical one, although this is already possible to nitpick. I know English language, so I didn’t have any difficulties with the application, but other users may have them. There is no official Russian language in the application, and for Russification you need to get root rights, etc. Not everyone will want to do this. I also can’t call the price of the kettle cheap. After connecting via Bluetooth and completing necessary operations After some time, the connection from the smartphone occurs and you have to connect again.

On the positive side, I can note good thermal insulation; Mi Kettle really cools down much slower than its counterparts. The function of maintaining a certain temperature has personally been useful to me in practice and I use it all the time. Starting the heating remotely without getting up from your chair is also quite convenient.

So the kettle seems to be quite good, and Xiaomi seems to be a good choice for fans) But it has a lot of disadvantages, it’s far from ideal. Today, if we turn back time, I would think about whether to take Mi Kettle or look at options from the same Redmond with smart functions. I think people should look at reviews of other kettles with smart functions before purchasing and compare what looks better to them.

I tried to be objective and perhaps I could help someone in choosing (or, on the contrary, dissuade them from buying) a “smart” kettle. Thank you in advance for your likes and am ready to answer any questions you may have in the comments; I may have missed something.

Different types of tea have their own brewing rules: for example, to maximize the aroma of Pu-erh tea, you need to brew it with boiling water; green tea is brewed at a temperature of 80-90°C, probiotics and honey also require a certain temperature - too hot water can negate their beneficial properties.

The kettle has a volume of 1.5 liters. The device is quite powerful - 1800 W. One and a half liters of water boils in just 5 minutes. The Nidec Shibaura/HGTECH temperature sensor in combination with the STRIX temperature controller provides precise control of the water heating temperature. Wherein double body will ensure heat retention for 12 hours. On the top of the handle there is a mechanical button for opening the lid and has two opening “modes”: 45⁰ (for convenient pouring of water) and 80⁰ (so that the kettle can be washed). Inside, the kettle has a 304 stainless steel flask, which, according to the manufacturer, will protect the device from scale and unpleasant odor. Nand two were placed on the inside of the handle. The first kettle turns on and simply boils water, and the second is designed to maintain the temperature. And, by the way, they were made sensory. But the most interesting thing lies not in these buttons, but in the remote control.

Despite the apparent ease of operation, the Xiaomi Smart Kettle is a highly technical device with several levels of protection. Now you don't have to worry short circuits, electric shocks when water gets on the stand or their failure due to the heating of an empty kettle - the model is protected from these factors and automatically turns off in any dangerous situation, guaranteeing the absolute safety of the user.
