Review on Kettle Xiaomi Qcooker Kettle, with temperature sensor Global, green by Dagmara Szulc ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

First and foremost, this teapot was manufactured in China specifically for the Chinese market. Each and every label and set of instructions is written in Chinese. However, this is not a major issue because it is just a regular kettle and not one that has any cutting-edge "tricks" like connecting via Bluetooth or anything else like that. You will not discover anything unusual in the instructions; these are the standard instructions for an electric kettle. Therefore, there is nothing special to read in the instructions. Those who are interested, such as myself, can use a smartphone and Google translate to read the standard instructions for use and maintenance: Rinse and reboil the item before using it for the first time; do not boil eggs, noodles, or seaweed in a kettle (either the dish is originally from China or the translation is not totally accurate); instructions on how to remove limescale. The non-standard electrical plug is another element of the Chinese kettle that causes more problems than it solves. Utilizing an adaptor is the approach with the least amount of complexity. Cheap adapters, on the other hand, have inadequate connections, and as a result, they begin to heat up and melt as they are used. This spot is dangerously near to the blaze. Changing the cord is a more drastic remedy to the problem. Nevertheless, luck was on my side, as the vendor included a decent adaptor that had good connections. The absence of a measurement window is still another characteristic (which some may consider to be a drawback). On the other hand, this "deficiency" is actually the flip side of its dignity: the case is made entirely of metal and contains no plastic components. You can determine how much water is in the kettle by lifting the lid and glancing at the level, which is marked with two hieroglyphs. This will tell you how much water is in the kettle. Even if you don't know any Chinese, it's not hard to figure out that they're talking about the lowest and highest possible water levels. The rate at which the kettle heats up is not a record one, but the fact that it is not a record one is irrelevant to me. In addition to the noise it makes, which is determined by the water for the most part. Within the past year, I have purchased two additional tea kettles that include a thermometer. The first one was a Kitfort, but a month later the lid shattered and rust stains formed on it. After only half a year, the second Russell Hobbs succumbed to rust. Both were handed back to the people who sold them. I really hope that things go more smoothly for you this time:-)

Pros
  • Thermometer with a "normal" shell that does not have any buttons or keys, an interior that is constructed entirely of stainless steel, and a retro design
Cons
  • According to me, there are no drawbacks, but anyone who wants to buy this model of the kettle needs to take into account and accept some of the features that it has.
