Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro
The rare app-connected kettle with a genuinely all-steel water path - Xiaomi states the liner, lid, and spout are all 304 stainless. Just buy this exact model, not the plastic-lidded Smart Kettle 2 Pro.
The verdict: Silicone only
Xiaomi's spec page states the liner, lid, and one-piece spout of the Mi Smart Kettle Pro are all 304 stainless steel - so unlike most connected kettles, no plastic sits in the water path. The heating element is a concealed Strix thermostat reading the base plate, not the water. The only non-steel part in the steam/pour path is the lid's silicone gasket (universal to this kettle class, so silicone-only rather than fully plastic-free). The double-wall outer shell is PP plastic but is the exterior, not the water path. Critical caveat: this applies ONLY to the Mi Smart Kettle Pro (MJHWSH02YM, 1.5 L). The similarly named Smart Kettle 2 Pro (1.7 L) uses a PPO plastic inner lid facing the steam and does not qualify.
What it's made of
| Part | Material | Water contact |
|---|---|---|
| interior / liner 304 food-contact-grade stainless per Xiaomi | Stainless Steel 304 / 18-8 | Yes primary 🔥 |
| lid (underside) Xiaomi explicitly names the lid as 304 stainless - the key difference from the Smart Kettle 2 Pro's PPO plastic inner lid | Stainless Steel 304 / 18-8 | Yes incidental 🔥 |
| spout one-piece stainless spout stamped from the liner, no separate plastic screen | Stainless Steel 304 / 18-8 | Yes primary 🔥 |
| lid gasket lid seal ring in the steam/pour path; standard for this kettle class | Silicone | Yes seal 🔥 |
| outer shell double-wall exterior PP plastic for cool-touch; no water contact | Polypropylene PP, #5 | No |
| power base exterior base housing the Strix thermostat and electronics, no water contact | Plastic other / unspecified | No |
The Mi Smart Kettle Pro (MJHWSH02YM) is a 1.5 L, 1800 W variable-temperature kettle with five presets between 40 and 90 degrees C plus a 100-degree boil, keep-warm, and Bluetooth control through the Mi Home app. The double-wall body runs cool to the touch. It is the connected/smart option in the category - the app can schedule and hold temperatures, though it cannot remotely power the kettle on.
Pros
- Xiaomi names the liner, lid, AND spout as 304 stainless - a genuinely all-steel water path, rare for a smart kettle
- App and Bluetooth temperature control, presets, and keep-warm
- Double-wall body stays cooler to the touch
- Inexpensive for a connected kettle
Cons
- Silicone lid gasket keeps it from fully plastic-free
- Easy to buy the wrong model - the Smart Kettle 2 Pro (1.7 L) has a PPO plastic inner lid and shares the "Pro" name
- App is limited (no remote power-on) and requires a Xiaomi account
- Country of manufacture not stated on the spec sheet (Xiaomi; almost certainly China)
Notes
- Buy by model number: Mi Smart Kettle Pro = MJHWSH02YM (also coded BHR4198GL), 1.5 L. The all-steel-lid claim is specific to this model
- Avoid the Xiaomi Smart Kettle 2 Pro (1.7 L) and the original non-Pro Mi Smart Kettle for a strict steel water path - both use plastic in the lid
Common questions
Does the Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro have plastic in it?
No petroleum plastic touches your water. On the Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro, the lid gasket is silicone, and the rest of the water path is stainless steel. There is plastic in the outer shell and power base, which never touch your water.
What is the Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro made of?
Part by part, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro is: interior / liner — stainless steel; lid (underside) — stainless steel; spout — stainless steel; lid gasket — silicone; outer shell — polypropylene; power base — plastic.
Does the Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro have silicone in it?
Yes — the lid gasket is silicone on the Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro. It is a seal rather than a surface your water sits against, which is stainless steel.
Is the Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro BPA-free?
No plastic touches your water on the Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro — the water path is stainless steel and silicone — so BPA, which comes from polycarbonate and epoxy plastics, is not in play here.
Where is the Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro made?
The Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro is made in China.
