Xiaomi Mi Smart Kettle Pro - causing weird house lights flickering

Following the death of my old british highlander kettle, lasted well over 30 years, I decided to buy a temperature controlled kettle, pretty useful for making teas that require different steeping temperatures.
It's a nice and not too expensive item, well designed as water is in touch with stainless steel only and it's powered by 1.8Kw that makes it fast enough for heating, but not too excessive.
However, I noticed an odd behavior that makes me wonder about its engineering. Whenever it's about to reach programmed temperature, whether boiling at 100Cº or a much lower 70Cº, it makes lights in the house flicker for the last some 10/15 seconds. No problems until it reaches about scheduled temperature, thus it wouldn't seem related to power itself.
House is properly electrically fit with fairly new cabling, grounding is redundant, the old kettle that was more powerful and other electrical power greedy appliances such as ovens never causes/d such an issue.
I can stand 15" lights flickering with no problem, but I wonder what the issue may be and if it might cause distress or damage to other electrical appliances one way or the other.
