xiaomi is truly ahead of its time with some stuff man...
Truckers. That's who the portable kettle/thermos devices are primarily for. It's not a case of making your coffee and taking it to work, so much as waking up in your cab, starting work by getting on the road, and meanwhile have the coffee brewing beside you. It also takes up far less space, and is much less likely to spill/leak/break when driving over rough surfaces like dirt roads.
16:50 you vs the gadget she told you not to worry about...
Please dont use a resin printer without protective gear, the fumes are toxic and if there are uncured resin on the surface of the print, touching it isnt ideal/safe. Use gloves and masks while dealing with these kind of printers
First normal tech video in the new house!!!! 🎉 (apologies for the not-so-great audio quality - we’re currently in the process of furnishing the house and it’ll improve very quickly as soon as that happens!)
For the kettle, it's actually for people who want to use their own kettle in hotel rooms. In China where Xiaomi is from, people are very anxious about hotel kettles being used by previous guests to either boil instant noodles, or boil socks to get it clean. Not sure how much of these rumors are true, but it ended up many people would bring a whole kettle with them on trips. Xiaomi just saw the opportunity here and jumped in with a portable one.
That massage gun needs a few disclaimers 16:47
16:49 biggest pause moment in mrwhosetheboss history💀
We need a Part 2 with the toothbrushes, pens, shavers, compressors, security cameras, vacuum cleaners, rice cookers and all the stuff we missed!
Wow! Congrats on the Resin 3D Printer - 1. please please please wear gloves when handling resin, you can get chemical burns from it. 2. You should never rinse it down the sink. Always use something like Isopropyl alcohol to clean the prints, then let air dry and cure under UV Light or in the Sun before handling with your bare hands.
I stumbled onto Xiaomi's UK store a few years back expecting it to be cheap temu/wish crap but was shocked at how good it is. I own several of the products you reviewed and some you didn't and they're all working perfectly years later. Also their ballpoint pens are exceptional and the only pens I'll use now.
In defense of battery packs on cordless screwdrivers: For heavy users it is way better to be able to switch out battery packs, so you basically never have to stop working if you have two or three battery packs, while you have to wait regularly for it to charge if you have to charge it with a cable. For casual users on the other hand that is fine. So for casual users that $35 is amazing and the product looks really neat, but if you plan to use it for hours on end you should get one with battery packs. Talking from experience.
Just a warning from a 3D printer guy. The UV resin most 3D printers use is toxic until cured under UV light and washed in Isopropyl alcohol. I am unsure if it is the same as the 3D pointer in this video, but it is something to consider.
you missing the point of a portable kettle: taking trips. Most hotels do not supply kettles and this can easily be packed in your luggage and taking minimal space.
No Xiaomi cars were used in the filming of this video. 🌚

This is a great example of how to NOT deal with resins...
Hey now, filament printers only look that bad when they fail 😂 the resin printers are amazing for print quality but def be careful around the uncured resin. Don't touch it and def dont wash it down the sink it has huge aquatic toxicity 😅
You HAVE to ventilate the room with the resin 3d printer, as the fumes can be carcinogenic.
Have used some Xiaomi gadgets in the past, and the best way to describe it would be "if Apple designed something, but kept it user friendly and affordable". Also the quality and functionality is so good that if something has been offered, then it is probably in the top 1% of that particular category.
