Thermopot Xiaomi. How I buried the kettle

Flowthermopot Xiaomi Mijia C1became a bestseller immediately after the presentation.

In today's review, we will talk in detail about what a flow-through thermopot is, whether it is able to replace a kettle and compare two models fromMijia and Scishare (both sub-brands of Xiaomi).

Thermopot Xiaomi

For me personally, teapots are a thing of the past.The water heater replaced the Redmond electric kettle with remote control (useless thing, I tell you). Using a thermopot for a month, we can confidently say that our family will not return to the kettle, and there are a number of reasons for this. But more on that later.

Xiaomi Mijia C1 thermopothas a power of 2200 W and is capable of in 3 secondsheat the water to boiling water. There are several temperature settings (room temperature / 51-59 ° C / 95-99 ° C), which will be useful when brewing various types of tea, when preparing baby food, and other scenarios of use.

Experience of use

With the characteristics, everything is more or less clear,let's now take a closer look at the operating experience. In 90% of cases, the Xiaomi thermopot in my family is used for brewing tea. I know that many are worried about the question: does the flow heater produce boiling water? No, don't expect steep boiling water, the average outlet temperature is 95 ° C. Therefore, consider this moment when buying! Many people like to brew stronger and hotter, this will not happen here. It was not familiar at first, but convenience prevailed!

Water quality.An extremely important point for a thermopot. Since there is no prolonged boiling of water, the taste is not evened out. Therefore, I highly recommend using only well-purified (reverse osmosis is ideal) or bottled water. This will improve the taste of the drinks and get rid of problems with lime deposits on the internal elements of the heater.

Saving energy. It's obvious here. The Mijia thermopot spends energy on heating a certain amount of water, and not the entire volume, as happens with a kettle.

Security... Now brew tea or pour warm / hoteven a child can water! The controlled water supply allows you to adjust the final volume. Management is carried out using touch buttons. There is an automatic blocking of feed from very small ones, it turns on 30 seconds after the last use.

Splashing.Yes, there is a problem. If your capacity is not high enough, then expect splashes! To avoid them, you will have to raise the mug higher to the spout. In general, nothing critical to get used to it for 2-3 days!

Comparison with Scishare

A little earlier, the Xiaomi thermopot appeared in the familyScishare. It is a class higher and has a more premium performance. There is a backlight, more temperature conditions, and the volume of the tank is larger (3 liters). They are similar in terms of heating and water flow rate. Choosing between Mijia and Scishare, I would opt for the latter, but it is a little more expensive. There is a model from the Viomi brand on the market, which is also an interesting representative of Chinese flow-through thermocouples, but, unfortunately, it was not possible to test it.

Total

Concluding my review of the Xiaomi thermal pot, I wantgive advice and warn before buying. You must clearly understand that it will not replace the kettle at 100%, the device will not be able to issue boiling water, but it will be able to brew tea, instant noodles, baby formula, etc. For small volumes, it is ideal and most importantly economical. Personally, I can safely recommend this device, I think that it will be in demand in every family. The future belongs to the flutes, and it's hard to deny!
