Xiaomi Smart Blender: understand how it works

In early March 2023, Xiaomi expands its range of smart home productslaunching Smart Blender. Some may find it interesting to see a blender from the same brand as the famous Xiaomi mobile phones. But the truth is Founded in 2010, the Chinese brand has been operating in this sector since 2015. — When he created the Mijia sub-brand.

Smart home products follow the idea of ​​the internet of things (IoT). It is an increasingly popular concept that everything can be connected to the internet to get extra functionality. By the way, this is one of the main differences of 5G.

With the speed and stability of 5G, you will be able to network and control almost any electronic device in your home via the Mi Home app (available for iOS and Android). Xiaomi already offers a wide variety in this linefrom air purifiers to robot vacuum cleaners and security cameras – and now includes blender on the list.

So what does Xiaomi smart blender offer differently? See below.

What’s smart about the Xiaomi smart blender?

The product officially arrived in Brazil in early March and is already available on the company’s website and in physical stores across the country.

Like other products in the series, the Xiaomi smart mixer can connect to a Wi-Fi network and be controlled by the Mi Home app, which you use to control sensors, lights, cameras and other items.

The main functions of the application for the Xiaomi smart blender are: controlling the 8 available preparation modes and 9 motor speeds, programming the preparation of recipes up to 12 hours in advance (and waking up with your morning smoothie ready example ) and read a series of recipes published by Xiaomi.

Speeds and cooking modes can also be controlled via the OLED screen on the body of the device. The main difference of connecting the Xiaomi smart mixer to the Internet is really timing.

For example, it differs from the brand’s air fryer, which allows you to remotely change the temperature and monitor the cooking time. With blenders, we usually prepare something right there and the preparations don’t take so long that we have to leave the kitchen. So remote control functions and internet connection seem less necessary.

Still, for some people, the idea of ​​quitting making a green juice or pre-scheduled supplement—saving a few minutes in the morning—can be appealing.

Smart blender that keeps up with its other functions

Prepare soups, hot chocolate and more with the ultra-durable glass pitcher that keeps your meals hot or cold for up to 4 hours. The only one with smartphone control and programming.

1,899.99 BRL

The Xiaomi smart blender is available in stores for 1747.99 BRL (8% discount on cash payment or 1899.99 BRL in installments). The possibility of planning the operation may not be enough to justify the price – therefore, the product has other functions that make it much more interesting.

In addition to 600W mixing power, it has 500W heating function. This means that the Xiaomi smart blender can prepare more than just juices, creams and other cold recipes – you can also make soups, hot drinks and keep everything hot for up to four hours, according to the brand. This is a big difference.

Another prominent feature of the product is its design, which is characteristic of Xiaomi’s smart home series. It’s all white, with only a few touch-sensitive controls next to the OLED screen. This can be a plus point for those who prefer this minimalist design compared to other blenders in the same price range.

By the way, despite being a smart product, the Xiaomi smart blender is still… a blender! Therefore, it is important to note that the stainless steel blades cut at various angles and the jug is made of glass with a capacity of 1.6 l (cold drink) or 1.2 l (hot).

According to the brand, there are 9 speed options that serve to prepare everything: from juices (1 to 3) to harder and more pasty foods such as peanut butter or frozen pulp (7 to 9).

Another difference emerges: eight predefined modes with speed variations, allowing preparations of different consistency. This is ideal for those who want to hit a spot of mousse, custard or a good custard hot chocolate in the winter.

The conclusion from this is that the Xiaomi smart mixer was not created to please everyone and become a bestseller like ordinary mixers. However, for those who want to invest in a premium product, the differences can be very pleasing.
