    it can boil the water only for 5 minutes.

    can only boil for 5 minutes, pretty useless if you need to boil for longer

      Looks like you were taken at face value LOL. If you need more than that, may I suggest a pressure cooker. They are a lot cheaper than an autoclave.

        • coprocessor8087 on 22/11/2016 - 13:52

          More useful if it notifies you it's time to change your undies. This will minimize washing and save water.

        The tag on the bottom shows only China CCC, not the Tick (or CE or any other international mark).

        So what, most products have all sorts of fake certifications and many lower the quality after testing is performed. If you base the safety of a product based on a sticker you will be in shock one day.

        These are intended for China consumption only so why would they have any international markings on them?

          On the one hand, Xiaomi does not use fake certifications. But on the other hand, the product does not meet Australia safety standards, so is illegal to import.

          It is not illegal to import. Sheesh whilst you may like to live in a country with even more regulation where buying a basic kettle requires a license, certified installation and mandatory monthly testing by a safety officer but the most of us are happy to wind back the excessive regulation.

          That is for the import and sale, go and educate yourself on our laws before you misquote them.

          @Maverick-au: they are not legal for import into WA but seems that QLD has not clearly demarked this issue. I did send off a request for clarification to QLD so I'll let you know if they say anything to contradict you.

          Given your cavalier attitude, I'm disinclined to take you at your word. But I can see I'll make no headway with the government interpretation of regulations I have provided links to. The WA link in particular clearly contradicts you, but you don't want to read it, I understand.

          By the way I did raise this issue in the forum so you're free to comment if you really think it's wise for uncertified declared articles to be imported in increasing quantities.

          Another do gooder wanting to bring in more bureaucracy and the deaths of more people that go with that increased bureaucracy.

          I can read perfectly well but it seems you are unable to distinguish between personal imports and imports for SALE or RENTAL!

          The WA link that you gave talks about the IMPORTATION AND SALE or RENTAL of the items.
          "This fact sheet summarises electrical safety laws for importing, selling or hiring out electrical appliances and equipment in Western Australia."
          "For this reason, the Electricity Act 1945 prohibits the sale of household electrical appliances unless approved by an Australian regulatory authority."
          "The Electricity Act 1945 provides for the Director of Energy Safety to prescribe the appliance classes and types that must be approved by the Director, an interstate regulatory authority or a designated agency before they can be sold, hired or advertised for sale or hire, or imported into Western Australia. These appliances must go through a certification process which ensures a safe design before they can enter the Australian or New Zealand markets."
          "A "Certificate of Conformity" is issued if the person intending to sell an appliance satisfactorily demonstrates that he or she has accepted the responsibility of ensuring the appliance is safe for use."

          The LAW is very clear that you can import goods for your own usage, it's people like you that ruin it for everyone because you want increased levels of bureaucracy for everything. Australia has the highest rate of electrical deaths out of the first world countries and we have the most restrictive laws, do you think that adding more laws will decrease the deaths or as we have seen increase the deaths?

          By the way I did raise this issue in the forum so you're free to comment if you really think it's wise for uncertified declared articles to be imported in increasing quantities.

          I've been importing electrical products since the 90's and never had a problem.

          The point is that just because something has a sticker on it doesn't mean it's safe. Take responsibility for your own safety, learn about electricity, examine items that you have purchased and make your own decision on the use of the item. Do you think that stickered $7 kettle from K-Mart is safer then this Xiaomi "un-stickered" kettle?

        Sous-vide (/suːˈviːd/; French for "under vacuum")[1] is a method of cooking in which food is sealed in airtight plastic bags then placed in a water bath or in a temperature-controlled steam environment for longer than normal cooking times (usually 1 to 6 hours, up to 48 or more in some select cases) at an accurately regulated temperature much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 55 to 60 °C (131 to 140 °F) for meat and higher for vegetables. The intent is to cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and retain moisture.

        I've been using the Kmart grand variable temp kettle for over a year, it works great. Its only weakness is a wide spout that makes pouring a little inaccurate.

    • Donkeyface on 22/11/2016 - 14:32

      I think this one is double insulated for retaining the temperature, and looks way better than the Kmart thing. For this along, it worth the extra. Also, you could potentially sous vide stuff, if you are into it.

    I have this Kettle and am happy to answer any questions about it. It's a nice kettle, but its main limitation is not being able to boil water remotely with the phone or with Mi Home automation.

    There is a good review/summary: http://en.miui.com/thread-352368-1-1.html

    I also regularly use this to sous vide eggs, fish, steak, vegetables. Its main limitation in this regard is the 5 degree intervals for selecting temperature. But that doesn't bother me too much.

          @Torres:
          You put your meat in a ziplock bag.. assuming you didn't fail at doing that, your steak shouldn't have touched the water.

        • s732 on 22/11/2016 - 15:43

          @Torres:
          I place the steaks in a Ziplock bags so they are not in direct contact with the water. I normally just empty the kettle, rinse some water in it and then boil a full kettle if I think anything has leaked into the water. If its vegetables I just rinse and refill it afterwards.

          Yep it can do 65, it can be adjusted from 40 degrees to 90 degrees in 5 degree intervals.

    I also have one of this kettle. Bought it off the online Mi Store in China for CNY199 (around AUD40). You need the Mi Home app. Unfortunately for this kettle device the settings are in Chinese. You use the app to connect to the kettle using bluetooth (limited distance) and control the various temperature settings. For basic use of the kettle you dont need the app eg. to boil water you just touch the boil button. It has a relative thick wall compared to the normal metal kettle but it is not doubled wall. So dont expect it to be able to retain heat as well as a Thermos. There are water level markings on the inside wall but no visible external water level meter. As it only has temperature sensors you also wont be able to tell the water level from the app.
