Review of the smart kettle REDMOND SkyKettle G201S

The novelty was delivered in a black cardboard box. I am glad that manufacturers were not too lazy to apply QR code with which you can quickly download the application Ready for Sky on Google Play or the App Store. Inside is a stand, an electric kettle, instructions and a recipe book for preparing various drinks.

The design of the new kettle looks expensive and aesthetically pleasing. It can be seen that the developers took care of the convenience of users. I was terribly annoyed by the presence of a measuring scale under the handle of my previous electric kettle - this is inconvenient. In the REDMOND SkyKettle G201S, it is located on both sides of the glass housing. The handle is strong enough, ergonomic and does not slip in the hands. Joints and defects are not found. Below is the name of the electric kettle, which is elegantly emphasized by the included backlight. The kettle opens by pressing a button in the middle of the lid, which is rather unusual, but convenient. I must say that an electric kettle with a glass is many times better than with a metal case: it looks stylish, does not heat up, and is easy to clean.

Before buying any model of equipment, I try to carefully study the reviews and characteristics of competitors. Therefore, in the review of the smart REDMOND SkyKettle G201S teapot-luminaire, I want to point out a number of, in my opinion, attractive options. Please note that in order to use the full potential of a household appliance, you need to download the free Ready for Sky app to your smartphone.

After installing it, various functions will be available, and the first of them “Fresh water", The teapot itself reminds of the need to change the water, as it has stagnated.

«Smart boil»- allows you to control the duration of the boil depending on what kind of water you use: hard from the tap or soft after filtering. With increasing intensity of boiling, mineralization decreases.For obvious reasons, it is better to use bottled water in order to preserve the amount of useful macrocells.

LED backlight - using the application you can choose the backlight to the color of your mood. In this case, you can change the speed of the transition of colors, use the kettle as a night lamp.

Light music - turn on the music on your smartphone, and the kettle will change the color of the color, winking to the beat.

Games for children - on the development of color perception and memory training.In addition to these functions, SkyKettle teapots attract a number of other useful options.

The first test for ease of use REDMOND SkyKettle G201S passed perfectly. After installing the program, turned on Bluetooth and followed the prompts. It took less than 10 seconds to sync. Further, he poured water and turned on the temperature heating with an accuracy of 1 degree.

This function will certainly be appreciated by mothers, who at any time may need 40 degrees water to dilute the mixture. As a true gourmet of coffee, I was pleased with tips for choosing the optimal temperature for various drinks. The application has a recipe book.

An animation with bubbles is displayed on the smartphone, which indicates the running process.

If you plan to start the kettle while not at home, you will need a Gateway that will transmit a signal to the kettle or other smart technology from REDMOND.
There is an accelerated boiling mode, which is very useful if you have not calculated the time and rush to work or a meeting.

Another clear advantage is the flexibility of the settings. You can set a timer for boiling water in the morning, and a smart assistant will heat the water for your breakfast on your own. In addition, it is possible to monitor the consumption of electricity. To do this, go to the program and find the "Statistics" section.

It is worth noting that the temperature lasts up to 12 hours. That is, a kettle, like a thermal sweat, significantly saves electricity. Actually, boiling water several times is not very useful, both for the kettle and for the quality of the water.

I believe that the intelligent lighting in the REDMOND SkyKettle G201S review deserves special attention. Using the application for a smartphone, you can adjust the brightness, set a certain color for different heating temperatures, turn on the mode so that the backlight shade changes, controlling the rate of transition of the glow: from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Without thinking twice, I set a blue backlight for cold water.

When the heat carrier is heated, the teapot-lamp is highlighted in warm colors (transition from yellow to orange). At a temperature of 90 degrees it shines red.

In addition, there is a "Disco Tea" mode, after which the backlight color changes to the rhythm of the music. Just start the melody, and the kettle will randomly shine with different shades to the beat.

Thanks to the Nightlight option, the electric kettle will glow at night even when it is turned off. It’s quite convenient if in your kitchen, like mine, there is no sconce and other lighting fixtures.

“Train your attention” - a mode in which the kettle is highlighted in different colors. The child remembers and selects the appropriate backlight option on the smartphone. The game contributes to the development of small, the development of color perception and reaction.

“Train your memory” - in this mode, the kettle changes the backlight color sequentially, and the child remembers them and puts them on the smartphone’s playing field in the same order.

A chic way to distract a child to tackle everyday problems.
Another useful addition to Ready for Sky is the control panel lock mode. In this way, you can prevent children from accidentally pressing buttons on the control panel.

Attention! If you accidentally blocked an electric kettle, quickly press the “+ -” button, located slightly above the handle of the appliance.

Based on my first impressions of the purchase and test results, I want to summarize the SkyKettle G201S review, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of the model:

Minuses:

• only two games, perhaps there will be more after updating the application;
• short network cable;
• not a low price.

Pros:

• remote control;
• stylish design;
• accurate heating temperature;
• parental control;
• intelligent backlight;
• light music;
• good capacity;
• convenient measuring scale; night lamp;
• stores heat for a long time;
• educational games;
• water quality assessment;
• book of recipes.

Actually, this list is not final, for sure, many advantages will be determined later, including reliability and durability, etc., but unfortunately, I can’t verify it in a few days.

Summing up the review of the SkyKettle G201S smart electric kettle, I want to say that the model justifies its cost until every penny.
Of course, there are many users who consider the device an unprofitable purchase with unnecessary excesses and overpriced, but I like that REDMOND keeps up with the progress and demonstrates such new products.

Pleasantly pleased with the build quality and software, which was updated immediately after installation on a smartphone. Synchronization is fast, responsive management. Illumination will please guests more than once, many of whom have children. And we will have something to do.
Finally, there are no problems with determining the water level, since the measuring scale is located on the sides of the glass case. This is also a huge plus!
I consider the possibility of using the device as a lamp, quite beautiful and stylish, to be an equally important advantage.

I have not yet found obvious flaws, except for a short cable length. But I did not have any problems with this, since there is a free space for the appliance in the extension cord in the kitchen.

In general, I express gratitude to Redmond, and I hope that the kettle will serve the home for a long time.
