This video is a review of the Joyami smart blender, a Wi-Fi-enabled appliance with an integrated heating element. The reviewer tests the blender by grinding whole wheat into flour for a pancake mix and by making tomato soup from scratch using a pre-set program.
The hardware is praised for its powerful and stable motor, which grinds wheat without vibrating across the counter, and its effective heating element, which successfully cooks and boils the soup ingredients directly in the glass jar. The final soup is described as exceptionally smooth.
However, the "smart" functionality, controlled via the Mi Home app, is heavily criticized. The pre-set recipes are opaque, offering no information about their cooking or blending steps, which leads to confusion. Furthermore, the custom program mode allows users to set blending speed and duration but critically lacks any option to control the heating element's temperature. The reviewer concludes that while the blender is an impressive piece of hardware with great potential, its underdeveloped software makes it confusing and difficult to use effectively, falling well short of its "smart" marketing.
Review of the Joyami "Smart" Blender
0:00 Key Features: The Joyami is a blender that can heat its contents to a boil, featuring a single control knob, a heavy glass jar, and Wi-Fi connectivity through the Mi Home app.
1:31 Safety & Interface: The blender has a magnetic safety interlock in the lid, preventing operation unless it's secured. The base has a display showing various pre-set programs like smoothie, soup, and milkshake.
2:27 App Control: The Mi Home app provides pre-set recipes and a custom mode. This custom mode allows programming multiple steps with varying blend speeds (1-9) and durations, but not temperature.
3:33 Grinding Test: The user successfully grinds whole wheat into a fine flour for pancake mix. He notes the blender is impressively stable during this process, unlike other blenders he has used.
5:53 Soup-Making Test: An attempt to make tomato soup reveals the primary flaws. The user adds raw ingredients and starts the "smooth soup" program.
6:41 Confusing "Smart" Program: The program begins heating without blending, and the app provides no explanation of the process. Frustrated, the user cancels, manually blends the ingredients, and then restarts the automated program.
7:46 Effective Heating: The blender successfully heats the soup to a rolling boil and then blends it, producing an extremely smooth final product. The thick glass jar provides good insulation.
9:29 Final Verdict: The blender's hardware is excellent, but its "smart" features are poorly implemented. The pre-set recipes are a "black box," and the inability to control heat in custom programs severely limits its main selling point. As it stands, it's just a nice, but confusing, blender.
