Sterile Ultraviolet Kettles

Xiaomi's Super Filter Kettle Filters and Sterilizes Drinking Water

— August 24, 2016 — Art & Design
Chinese electronics company Xiaomi is probably best associated with smartphones, but the company is clearly looking to diversify by releasing products such as the Super Filter Kettle, which isn't a pure kettle per se but is a water purification device that is designed to destroy bacteria and impurities. The kettle makes use of ultraviolet sterilization technology to go about purifying water and making it taste more palatable.

With a capacity of 1.5 liters, the Super Filter Kettle has a substantial size, so you don't need to go about constantly refilling it over the course of your day. It is set to be made available for a price of $38, a small price to pay when you consider the importance of hydrating with clean and sterile water.
