Xiaomi Mi Smart Electric Kettle Review! Is It Awesome?

[@alondar3998]

Had this kettle for 7 months now, started leaking few weeks ago, very dangerous - on it's base! i keep it perfectly clean by using distilled water. my 5 years old 10$ chinese kettle works perfectly.

[@linalulu5153]

I am disappointed that you didn't show how fast it boils water and does the water have a weird taste like some kettles do ?

[@TiHaNa_o]

Does it have mesh/net like all regular kettles? Can't see it in the video..

[@n0spam911]

big big minus is that you can't turn it on with an app.

[@payphonelover]

Is the cable for the kettle really that short (as seen in the video)? Might be a problem for me as i might need a longer cable

[@advenjarr]

No, it was just kept under. you can extend it.

[@JustifyJustin]

Best part of this video is the view out of the window ;)

[@ΑλέξανδροςΚαλατζής]

Is there a way i set a temperature in the app and the kettle memorize it so i can boil and reach mu temperature without the use of the app ?

[@sonnymeadows65]

It would have been nice to know if the app has the following features: • Can be registered to more than one phone (Xiaomi only supports single phone). • Set the exact temperature, e.g. 79 degrees. • A timer so you can specify a time when the water should be boiled • Multiple timers. • Keep warm feature and for how long. • Displays amount of water including warning if inadequate amount. • Only heats if there is certain minimum level of water.

[@ianoflynn5800]

The app is not stuck in Chinese, you can easily change the language

[@miiasiin]

Review was done in 2016.

[@kamalalmatari6958]

I have been searching for 5 years for an electric kettle without the taste of plastic ,with no luck. The rest of the specifications do not interest me at all.

[@MummyinAmman]

We have both stainless steel and glass kettles and there is no strange taste

[@nojusxd]

Are you from lithuainia?

[@fawn3931]

can it be used without the app?

[@xoni4065]

No it can't, if you loose your phone you will die from thirster.

[@TheEdupedu67]

Can any one tell me why the first image of this kettle is outdoors? Like if you were going to boil water with inspiration.

[@mnj1902]

Edu Aguilera loll

[@PeterMike]

What happens when you set temperature control at constant level for 10h and during this 10h someone dring all water from this kettle without re-tank? Does it switch off or will work till damage?

[@markom9685]

Peter Mike yes by sensor

[@PeterMike]

Thanks :-)

[@ramss.6433]

Does this come fitted with a European plug?

[@lulyssclaire]

Rams S. hm on Amazon the seller elec.mall ( where i bought my kettle ) there was an european adaptator but not for mono-phase ground. I think that was the seller Who join the adaptator not originally inside... Attention the instructions are only in chinese ( buttons too ) but there is an explanatory video made by Mi ( I think I have found it on there website -xiaomi- ).

[@gloglos100]

I only wanted to know how noisy it is. The other basic essential besides stainless steel, closed inside so easy to clean, it’s lid is steel no plastic contamination. How fast it boils and how noisy are the TWO other important thing.s

[@dunyamalibabakishizada7744]

Important thing is there’s no plastic contamination and lid is stainless steel.

[@emaleighmay7799]

@gizmochina if the kettle is so smart why wont it clean my kitchen??

[@chatella_nutella9017]

Cuz it's smart enough to know it's value

[@deuskrieg5635]

Can you use this as a Sous Vide?

[@igrewold]

No, for that I think you need a perculator (300ml) like this: www.banggood.com/Aluminum-Moka-Espresso-Latte-Percolator-Stove-Coffee-Maker-Pot-Coffee-Percolators-p-1027133.html

[@xquest8805]

You said it will boil first and than keep it too desired heat level. Later you say is good for people that don't want to boil there water.

[@AM-vh2vp]

I think he means by, some of the coffee and tea will taste bad if they use the boiling temperature, hence should be use at certain temperature

[@mnj1902]

Im planning to use this kettle but it says use 1800 watt on tech spec... is it true or its just the maximum current it can dish? Anyway if i compare to any rice cooker it only take 350 watt

[@sabirfarid]

Overall it 8s great kettle except the silver part on upper side if touched it by accidentally you literally burn your finger or hand 😂💀

[@geekcampmy]

So true 😂

[@JulienRoyal]

how do you manage voltage outside of China.?

[@GizmoChinaTube]

i did not have any issues while using it in Europe. Didn't take any special measures

[@igrewold]

It just needs 220V. I ran it on 110V but it takes ages to boil. Bluetooth did not work at 110V though, so no temp control. I think it might be useful but I only need the constant temp control service which is available from one of the touch buttons.

[@wocko1]

Most Euro countries use 220-240V, 50Hz, so Chinese appliances will work fine with a plug adaptor. I'm an Aussie, and this kettle will work, no adapters needed, as Australia use the same electrical outlet as China and Argentina for earthed appliances, and Australian homes typically are 220-240V, 50Hz.

[@archilzhvania6242]

Can you see the water level inside the kettle? Or can you see it in the app?

[@AngeloFrare]

Can I put rice milk? Instead of water?

[@lorenzowillemse422]

What the fire breathing flying Fff do you want to do with a smart kettle

[@christiansoga-ang3535]

can i schedule it to boil water in the morning without waking up and switch it on? How about how much electricity does it consume?

[@ArnaldasAugutis]

It doesn't look very well made 0:58 with those sharp edges on a handle :)

[@learnnevergiveup9222]

Be careful that the metal at the top is very hot

[@Enric.]

I've never seen a product like this before. Are there cheaper alternatives and with English app?

[@ronik330]

No

[@knownuser0815]

The app is English now.

[@nerisalobo]

Just get a regular electric kettle, don’t really see the point of owning this

[@sensaznal]

its a kettle but with a feature to keep water at the desired temperature for 12 hrs after boiling. The kettle would be more useful for tea and coffee maker enthusiasts who want the perfect temperature to make tea and coffee along with those busy parents in making baby formula in the middle of the night.

[@nerisalobo]

sensaznal a thermos flask can do the same thing.

[@sensaznal]

@@nerisalobo water in a thermal flask can cooldown while the kettle can maintain the desired temperature for 12 hours without dropping like an electric water heater.

[@nerisalobo]

sensaznal if it’s a good quality flask then the water can stay warm up till 5 to 6 hours. Moreover why would anyone want their water to say warm or hot for 12 long hours? If you’re single and working you anyways won’t be able to use this much, and if your at home you can just heat the water with a regular kettle and later adjust the temperature with a little cold water. Keeping the water at a certain temperature will consume a lot of energy. I have a normal electric kettle, the water get heated in just seconds and boiled in just over a minute so I’m not really using much energy. Which is why I say there is no point of owning this.

[@sensaznal]

@@nerisalobo it's for convenience like making tea and coffee, instant noodles. If it's a big family they may even buy a 5 Litre electric water heater.

[@Japik79]

Waste of money... BT connection takes from 30sec up to 3minutes - depend on smartphone. And you need to connect each time you want to check / set up xiaomi!!!! When U feel it by 1,5l it will blow outwater during boiling!!! SAFETY ISSUE NOT ALLOWED AT EU!!! There is no water level indicator.. you have open top to check water level... top is opening just 30 degres!!!!!

[@JustifyJustin]

I suspect if you have the smart home sensor kit it will stay permanently connected to the control hub.

[@elizondokamacho3955]

there is a new simplified version of this kettle for 25$

[@sebastianszefer4106]

Pildyk (top left corner) I assume video is from Lithuania ;)

[@tncrop]

Got the same problem. Ask for your money back!

[@DS-pk4eh]

While it is smart, it does not have anti-calc features (it seems), there is no filter mesh (where you pour the water out). Without a Bluetooth app, it would be worth maybe only 15 like any other basic device. Wifi is not wanted as that puts your device at risk of being hacked from the internet. You do not want someone else starting your device, don't you?

[@jct4111]

I would be nice if someone hacked in and made my cup of tea for me 😉

[@DS-pk4eh]

@@jct4111 Sure, but they could change the firmware and force it to heat even without the water to provoke a fire. Then you would be mad with Xiaomi. This is probably the reason there is no Wifi

[@jct4111]

D S that’s true. Without WiFi there will be hardly any range. So it’s mostly pointless

[@kringlefanten]

Can the bluetooth in the kettle be switched off? I don't want anyone hacking my water boiler. :P

[@That7Days79]

Hmm, can get cheaper ones@$30+, 1.7L.Saw it at a local xiaomi store..$50+🤔

[@hera7409]

$30 for that same kettle or different kettle?

[@farleyespinha6570]

Uma porcaria . Nao faz o pairing ao Redmi 9Pro Max na App da Home Mi. Nao recomendo se for para utilizar com o Telemovel.
