Xiaomi’s latest product for our homes does two things we need everyday. Purifies the water that we drink, and also instantly boils it. The latter is a boon for coffee drinkers that otherwise have to wait for about a minute for the kettle to boil the water. This new product is the Xiaomi Instant Water Purifier Q800.
Xiaomi uses what it calls a 360-degree surround heating system. In just a second, this system can filter and boil water that is ready to drink right out of the tap. One can use the Mijia app to choose from four preset boiling modes – normal temperature (25°C), milk mode (45°C), coffee mode (85°C), and boiling water mode (95°C). Users can also create their own presets via the app.
This product, as the name suggests, is primarily a water purifier, and it uses two RO filters for that function. Xiaomi has also increased the clean to waste water ratio – 3:1. The wastewater can anyway be reused for washing dishes, mopping floors and more.
The Xiaomi Instant Water Purifier Q800 has been launched in China, and is priced at ¥3,799 (approx ₹44,500). There’s no word yet on an international launch.
