For the Chinese drink hot water it is more than a daily gesture. It means taking care of yourself since historically, of the benefits for the body. If you ask a Chinese why they use to drink hot water, you often hear an answer "Because it does not create moisture in the body". Scientifically, however, it is known that Fr.can increase the metabolism of body cells, promote blood circulation and eliminate fatigue. In this sense Xiaomi, or better YouPin, the platform through crowdfunding of the brand, he thought of a primary need of citizens by combining business with beauty: in fact he presented a hot water dispenser in a very particular style, vaguely reminiscent of the style of the Mi Mix 3 Frobidden Palace Edition.
How beautiful is this Ming style hot water dispenser from Xiaomi?
YouPin recently, in collaboration with “Shangxin Forbidden City, "Created a series of hot water dispenser for Xiaomi. From them they have three fundamental characteristics: they are small (travel if we want), they are equipped with rapid heating (in just three seconds) and have a self-cleaning mechanism. But these three are not the most important things as to make the device special, if we want to call it that, is the presence of numerous cultural elements.
In addition to remembering the style presented with the special edition of Mi Mix 3, the Xiaomi hot water dispenser is dedicated to ZhengHe, famous Chinese admiral and diplomat at the time of the dynasty Ming. But without losing too much in history lessons we see the characteristics of the product.
Starting from design it looks like a cylinder but oval with four rubber feet that allow stability on a plane. The measures are 123 x 80 x 222 mm: for this reason it is one of the smallest products in the category. The colors available are red, yellow and white which by the way perfectly match the ship's designs. Compared to commonly available kettles on the market, this hot water dispenser is much easier to use. Just put the water in and you're done; you don't even need to empty it or change its position to change the water.
Unfortunately the capacity is alone 500ml, poco more than two milk cups. Don't worry though, because thanks to the ease with which you can refill water you won't feel any discomfort at all. In this regard we can see how we can put a bottle of water directly inside the nozzle placed at the top, or connect the device with a container from which will automatically fish the water. As said before, one of the distinctive features of this product is the quickness with which it heats the water: it takes only three seconds to get to temperature. The interesting thing is that there are three temperatures to choose from: 45 C °, 75 C ° and 100 C °. But the icing on the cake is the mechanism of self-cleaning: the device after a period of time in which the water remains still, activates a drainage process; later we will only have to empty the drained water out of the rear tank.
This product is also suitable for travel as there is no danger that thenozzle where the water comes from will break. Indeed, this automatically retracts when not in use. It can easily be stored in a bag using a comfortable soft bag supplied with the package. The price is super advantageous: at the moment it is only a question 299 yuan (€ 38 at current exchange rates) destined to become 399 (around € 51) after the launch promotion period. Currently on the market this type of products are at a figure approaching 1000 yuan (€ 130 if converted) and therefore the "marketing" is definitely poco. We hope that with Xiaomi's pricing policy this product has better luck than the competition.
