I see you over there, standing next to your Air Fryer, waiting for it to chime off that it’s done. All you’re thinking about is what’s about to happen to Geralt, but you had to pause the show because of your craving for chicken nuggies.
Imagine if you were able to control and monitor these kinds of products right from your smartphone, you’re probably reading this off. A single app that taps into the power of your blender, air fryer, air purifier and even heater.
The Xiaomi Smart Home Lifestyle range offers this and more.
Starting in the kitchen, Xiaomi offers both blenders and air fryers that can be wirelessly connected to your Xiaomi ecosystem. Prepare your ingredients, toss them into the appliance and then choose the recipe you’d like to use, and you’re done. The app will send the required time frame, heat and speed required to get the job done and you don’t even be there to watch it. A notification will pop up whenever something needs to be checked. This means you can hide yourself behind a wall in CS:GO, prepare a smoothie and jump right back into the action before any of your teammates even realise you were gone.
The Xiaomi Smart Blender offers up an eight-bladed, hot and cold, automated machine that can blend and mix anything from fresh guacamole to your grandma’s potato soup, plus it will even keep the soup warm for up to four hours. Using the connected Xiaomi app means you can prepare everything before work, pop it in the blender and leave for your day. As you leave the office you can get everything started so that you’re greeted with the delicious smell of a hot soup, ready for a session of cosy winter gaming. For a recommended retail price of only R2,499 the Xiaomi Smart Blender is basically your smoothie chef at the press of a button. Toss out that old DIY thing you’ve got sitting on your kitchen counter and bring yourself into the future.
Ok, I hear you. You’re looking for some delicious croutons to add a little bit of crunch to that tasty soup you just whipped up. Xiaomi’s Air Fryers are exactly what you need. Also connected to the app you can set your garlic herbed bread slices onto the tray and have the fryer run automatically from your phone. The best part is, because it’s part of the Xiaomi ecosystem, you can set the fryer to start once the blender has finished its job, to ensure your croutons are as crispy as possible once you’re done fighting your way through the traffic. At a recommended retail price of R2,899 for the 4-litre pro model or R2,399 for the slightly smaller 3.5-litre version, the Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer is the perfect companion to your Smart Blender or a good start into modernising that kitchen.
Once you’ve got your meal prepping down, you’re going to need to make sure your gaming room is up to scratch. Yes your PC, tablet, controller, wall-lights and microphone all have RGB, but have you ever thought about the air and space around you?
Well, the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact thinks about it for you. With its small footprint, at only 355mm tall and a 220mm diameter, the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact is the perfect device for your gaming room, your office, your bedroom or your child’s room. It will trap up to 99.97% of small particles and remove pollen, dust, pet hair, ash, smoke, and odours, giving you a cleaner, fresher environment to elevate you to the top of that ranked leaderboard, as well as assist with allergies. I like to think of clean air similarly to higher refresh rates on monitors. You might not notice it until you’ve tried it, and once you’ve tried it, there’s no going back. The Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact also has a sleep mode for those late-night streams. With a sound output of only 20dB in this mode, you can still get some of that deliciously fresh air without your microphone picking up a thing.
While the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact is perfect for sitting on your RGB Gaming table, Xiaomi also offers larger units for the larger rooms in your life. The Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact can handle up to a 48m² room, the larger units can handle a bit more, ranging from 75m² on the 4 Lite to 104m² on the 4 Pro. These larger units also come with a Temperature and Humidity sensor, meaning you have a better understanding of the environment around you and can fine-tune your different Xiaomi devices based off these metrics. At R1,999 for the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Compact, fresh air will literally be at your fingertips.
Now that your air is clean and your food is made, Xiaomi also features a Humidifier and heaters that can get your gaming space to the perfect levels. Especially in the dry alps of Johannesburg, the humidifier leaves the air moist so that you aren’t choking on it. The humidifier can be set to maintain a specific percentage and it will automatically turn itself on and off depending on the humidity levels. There’s nothing more convenient than that at R749. Yes, your rig is running at a fine 80 degrees, but besides your right cheek getting a little bit of that warmth, you’re going to need some backup. If you’re looking for something that’ll fit right under your desk and envelop you in warm luxurious air, check out the Xiaomi Smart Tower Heater Lite. Its compact size is designed to create heat at around 2 metres from the unit, perfect for your gaming room, and at R2,199 it won’t affect your purchase of other computer parts too much. If you want to fill your whole room with warmth, then the Xiaomi Smart Space Heater S is for you. A conventional style heater that will almost get your room up to temperature instantly with its 2200W of heating power. At R2,899 the Xiaomi Smart Space Heater is an easy sell to your gaming buddy if you’re planning on some couch co-op.
Of course, all the appliances work seamlessly with each other. From the comfort of your own gaming chair, you have the ability to create automation between all these appliances and whatever other “works with Google” and “Works with Alexa” products you may already have.
Don’t let your KDA drop, grab yourself the convenience of home automation from Xiaomi’s Smart Lifestyle Range.
