Xiaomi Floor Scrubber 4 Max: New vacuum-mop with extra mop pad and self-cleaning mode

Vacuum mops are particularly useful for those with a lot of hard flooring at home. These appliances wet-clean surfaces and immediately vacuum up excess water, ensuring only a minimal amount of moisture remains on the cleaned floors. This allows users to walk on freshly cleaned areas and effectively prevents water damage caused by moisture accumulation. Vacuum-mop hybrids typically don’t require vacuuming beforehand, helping users save time by eliminating a cleaning step. Xiaomi offers a range of vacuum mops, with certain models available internationally. The company recently launched the Mijia Wireless Floor Scrubber 4 Max in China at a price of around $420 after conversion. However, its pricing and availability in other regions have yet to be confirmed.

According to official specs, the Mijia Floor Scrubber 4 Max features a rated suction power of 23,000 Pa and a mop pad capable of reaching 450 rpm. It is also equipped with an additional cleaning arm designed to effectively clean edges along walls or skirting boards. The built-in 5000 mAh battery offers up to 50 minutes of operation – enough to cover as much as 400 sqm (4305.6 sqft). The vacuum mop includes cleaning modes tailored specifically to delicate wood floors and kitchen spaces. Xiaomi claims the appliance is resistant to hair entanglement. Its fresh water and dirty water tanks have capacities of 1,000 ml and 700 ml, respectively. Besides having an LCD screen for displaying various useful information, the Floor Scrubber 4 Max can connect to the Xiaomi Home app for easy control. It base station can clean and sterilise the mop head by first applying boiling water and then drying it with hot air at 90°C (194°F). The handle and stick can be laid flat for easy access under furniture.
