XIAOMI WATER DISPENSER REVIEW | plug & use, 4 water temp settings [UPDATED 2022]

[UPDATE 2022]
We managed to connect the water dispenser to our Mi Home App by changing to region to "Chinese Mainland" and somehow, the dispenser now displays the "type of water dispensed" to English instead of Chinese.
The app settings allows you to:
- Choose other presets available in varying temperatures apart from the 4 default settings
- Create your own preset by whatever temperature you'd like
- Keep track of the filter's percentage used
------------------
We were looking for a water dispenser and obviously... SG was too expensive for us so we turned to TAOBAO!
We've been using it for about 2 months and we absolutely love this purchase of ours.
Specifications:
- 4 water temperature settings: room, 45 degrees, 85 degrees and 100 degrees
- 3 water dispensing settings: 150ml, 300ml and MAX
- 5L water tank (detachable) + 1.2L internal tank
- 2 water filters (changed yearly or when prompted)

    Hello~ Just sharing a way to try to connect your dispenser to the app so that you can adjust the temperature of the water. Have you tried switching the region in the XiaoMi home app? I own a Xiaomi lamp bought locally in SG and a temperature humidity meter online (not from SG) and I couldn't connect both devices to the SG region in the XiaoMi app. Only the lamp works in the SG region. However, when I switched the server to Mainland China, the app was able to detect my temperature meter and sync it. But the app couldn't detect my SG bought lamp la...need to keep switching the regions if I want to connect to the respective device. A bit mafan la but I guess it works. Perhaps you can try this workaround? :) Thanks for the informative video! I always like watching your videos :D
