Xiaomi Gadgets Put to the Test: Are They Worth the Hype?

Xiaomi is a name most of us associate with affordable, high-quality smartphones, but their product lineup goes far beyond that. From smart pillows to 3D printers and even a $250 water gun, Xiaomi’s ecosystem is packed with innovative gadgets that promise incredible value. Recently, popular tech YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss (Arun Maini) took on the challenge of testing some of Xiaomi’s most intriguing devices in his video, “I tested the most popular Xiaomi Gadgets!” We’ve broken down his findings to see if these products live up to the hype for Xiaomi fans everywhere. Let’s dive into Xiaomi gadgets review!

Xiaomi Motion Sensor Nightlight – $9

A Budget-Friendly Game Changer

Kicking things off is the Motion Sensor Nightlight, priced at a jaw-dropping $9. Arun calls it an “instant win,” and it’s easy to see why. Unlike typical motion lights, this one features a magnetic design: the stand sticks to any surface, and the light snaps on effortlessly. Whether it’s your bedside table, a wall, or even the ceiling, it adapts. With a 5-meter detection range—double that of most competitors—and app-controlled brightness and duration, it’s perfect for late-night bathroom trips without blinding yourself.
Rating: 9.5/10
Verdict: “I’m getting one for every bedroom,” Arun declares, and we’re tempted to follow suit.

Xiaomi Portable Electric Kettle – $30

A Clever Idea That Falls Flat

Next up is the $30 Portable Electric Kettle, a thermos-kettle hybrid that keeps drinks warm for Ascending 6 hours and boils water when plugged in. It’s a sleek concept, but Arun found it underwhelming. While it heats up fast and has a handy temperature display, it takes as long to boil one cup as a standard kettle does for four. A slight leak during testing also raised concerns.
Rating: 5/10
Verdict: Great for solo coffee drinkers, but impractical for guests or camping. “I just don’t get it,” Arun admits.

Xiaomi 3D Printer

Precision Printing with a Catch

The Xiaomi 3D Printer uses liquid resin and UV light for smoother results than filament printers. Arun was impressed by its user-friendly interface, which lets you preview models and support structures before printing. The result? A “cute” vase that beats filament quality hands-down. However, proprietary resin cartridges and a lingering odor are drawbacks.
Rating: 8/10
Verdict: A solid choice for hobbyists willing to overlook the eco and smell issues.

Xiaomi Cordless Screwdriver

Award-Winning Simplicity

Winner of an iF Design Award, this cordless screwdriver wowed Arun with its screw-free design, USB-C charging, and magnetic bit storage. It tackled cabinet assembly with ease, complete with a ring light for precision.
Rating: 9/10
Verdict: “Everything a screwdriver needs to be for 95% of people,” though it won’t stand upright.

Xiaomi Precision Screwdriver

Small but Mighty

A sleeker sibling to the cordless model, the Precision Screwdriver is perfect for delicate tasks like watch or smartphone repairs. With 400 screws per charge and a satisfying magnetic case, it’s a keeper.
Rating: 9/10
Verdict: “I could write with this,” Arun jokes—high praise indeed.

Xiaomi Smart Laser Measure

Measure Smarter, Not Harder

This minimalist laser measure nails distances up to 40 meters with one button. Paired with the Xiaomi app, it stores, labels, and even draws scaled room layouts from your measurements.
Rating: 10/10
Verdict: “I have no notes,” Arun says. A perfect tool for DIY enthusiasts.

Xiaomi Smart Clock – $50

Your Bedside Buddy

At $50, this smart clock offers customizable faces, weather updates, Spotify playback, and voice-controlled smart home features. The LCD screen glows slightly at night, but it’s a minor flaw.
Rating: 8.5/10
Verdict: “A lot of product for not a whole lot more,” making it a bedside contender.

Xiaomi Monitor Light Bar – $75

Desk Lighting Done Right (Almost)

This USB-powered light bar saves desk space and avoids glare, but it lacks the auto-color adjustment and rear light of pricier rivals like BenQ.
Rating: 6/10
Verdict: A clean, affordable option, but not the “full shebang.”

Xiaomi Perfume Dispenser – $100+

Luxury Scents on Wheels

This car-mounted perfume dispenser, powered by USB-C, cycles through three scents (freshness, soothing, joy) with a glowing ring indicator. It’s potent and elegant, with long-lasting cartridges.
Rating: 8.5/10
Verdict: Not cheap, but “one sexy way to make your car smell good.”

Xiaomi Massage Gun – $120

Power Without the Price Tag

At $120, this massage gun rivals $500 models with a quiet motor, three heads, and 13-hour battery life. The smart pressure sensor was hit-or-miss, though.
Rating: 8/10
Verdict: “Just as high quality” as the big names, with a thorough massage to boot.

Xiaomi Smart Pillow

Comfy, But Confused

This ultra-soft pillow tracks sleep with tiny sensors, but its data (6 hours vs. an Apple Watch’s 8 hours 40 minutes) was off. The ecosystem potential is tantalizing, though.
Rating: 4/10
Verdict: “Not too sure about this one,” Arun cautions.

Xiaomi Water Gun – $250

Over-the-Top Fun

This USB-C-charged water gun boasts an LED strip, a display, and multiple fire modes. It outshines a $15 rival in power, but not range.
Rating: 8/10
Verdict: “The best of the best,” if you don’t mind the splurge.

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Pro

The King of Scooters

Taller, wider, and packed with features like regenerative braking and self-sealing tires, this scooter impressed Arun with its 55km range and smooth ride. It even survived a nail test!
Rating: 10/10
Verdict: “Everything it needs to be and more”—a flagship triumph.

Final Thoughts

From the unbeatable $9 Nightlight to the luxurious Scooter 4 Pro, Xiaomi’s gadgets blend innovation and value in ways that often defy their price tags. Standouts like the Smart Laser Measure and Electric Scooter earned rare 10/10s from Arun, while even the misses (looking at you, Smart Pillow) showcase Xiaomi’s bold ambition. As Mrwhosetheboss puts it, “I actually think I like Xiaomi’s gadgets more than their phones.” For Xiaomi fans, this lineup is a treasure trove worth exploring.
