New Xiaomi washing machine with extra large drum launches

The Xiaomi Mijia Washing Machine 12kg has been released in China. The company describes this as an “extra-large” drum model, making it suitable for washing a week’s worth of your family’s clothes in one go.

Xiaomi’s Mijia Washing Machine 12kg offers 25 cycles, including a 15 minute quick wash, and dedicated settings for wool and silk. Washing is said to be intelligently optimized thanks to HyperOS Connect, with the machine recommending programs based on your habits. It can also run at specific times, to take advantage of off-peak energy tariffs, and it can keep your clothes fresh until the next day if you forget to take them out.

You can remotely monitor the Mijia Washing Machine 12kg via the brand’s app, or control it with voice commands via a linked smart speaker. According to Xiaomi, the machine offers a 95°C (~203°F) drum cleaning mode, and can deliver 99.999% sterilzation, 100% mite removal and 99.999% virus removal. It has a 1.2 washing ratio and has achieved a Level 1 energy efficiency rating in China.

In China, the Xiaomi Mijia Washing Machine 12kg retails for CNY 1,699 (~$239). It is unclear whether this model could reach Europe, where the company recently released the Mijia Front Load Washer Dryer Pro 9kg (curr. €579 at Mi Store).
