Certain home improvement projects are far-reaching inconveniences that hurt your wallet just as much as they hurt your time and way of life. Painting the walls, installing a new roof, changing the floor and more.
Thankfully, when it comes to creating a smart home, Xiaomi has taken the complexity – and much of the price – out of the picture with a range of Smart Appliances you can buy from your favourite retailer today.
What makes Xiaomi Smart Appliances so compelling is that each device works perfectly well as a new standalone addition to your home, but you can add more on at any time to further extend your local network of interconnected devices. This is thanks to the unified design process and the all-powerful Mi Home app, which is the one-stop piece of software to control everything. It is also helped by Amazon Alexa and Google Home integration for further unity between your existing devices.
This approach means that your new smart home isn’t a final destination you need to decide on today and plan for with one huge purchase, but a fun ongoing journey where you can pick up new Xiaomi Smart Appliances whenever you like and add them to your home network in a matter of minutes.
Xiaomi’s latest crop of Smart Appliances are now available in South Africa from mistore.africa, Yuppiechef, Takealot and Incredible. With smart kitchen appliances, climate control options, air purifiers and humidifiers, Xiaomi has you covered on every front.
For the kitchen:
For when it’s hot:
For when it’s cold:
For when you want more control:
Let’s go on a smart home journey together as an example. You may be wanting to try new things in the kitchen and settle on a rice cooker as it’s a staple in many kitchens the world over.
The Xiaomi Smart Multifunctional Rice Cooker is perfect as your entry into this world thanks to its practical daily recipes that will help even the most novice chef in creating gourmet food. Granular control on factors like rice type, desired rice texture and more can also be controlled remotely through the aforementioned Mi Home app mean that you can even use that new cooking prowess when you’re not in the kitchen.
Started your smart home journey in the Summer? Consider the Xiaomi Smart Standing Fan 2 Pro which is powerful enough to cool down even the most aggressive South African sunny days, but also cleverly built on a low voltage 12V design that maximises the run time of its 33.6Wh lithium-ion battery.
Is it instead a colder month? What used to be mild South African Winters have been growing colder, and you can tame them with the Xiaomi Smart Space Heater which, despite being small and compact, can heat all the way up to a sweltering 28 degrees Celsius.
Finally the main air-control options from Xiaomi allow you to purify the air or add humidity. Those aforementioned colder months can really dry out the air making a product like Xiaomi Smart Humidifier 2 more of a necessity.
As you accumulate more Xiaomi Smart Appliances you will also notice the sleek and modern white design which are shared across the product range. This is not only a unified aesthetic for those with multiple devices, but it is also adaptable enough to fit in with any home décor you already have. Xiaomi’s approach to piecemeal, while still unified, design is even seen here and we love this forethought to how people actually use products.
Not every company thinks far enough into people’s homes, but Xiaomi has, and with a focus on South Africa, which is why Xiaomi Smart Appliances are priced so competitively in this market.
