Xiaomi unveils new Mijia Central Air Conditioning Duct with slimmer body

Xiaomi claims that its Central Air Conditioning Duct works quickly, cooling in 40 seconds and providing heat in 80 seconds. You can choose from seven speeds, and a sleep mode ensures the device works quietly. Plus, a self-cleaning mode uses 56°C (~133 °F) high-temperature air to remove up to 99% of germs. The device is smart, controlled with Xiao AI voice commands or via the Mijia app, where you can also trigger OTA updates. Alternatively, you can adjust the air conditioning settings using a wired control panel. The outdoor unit operates at temperatures between -35 to 60 °C (~-31 to 140°F), and the device has been rated with first-class energy efficiency in China.

You can now pre-order the Xiaomi Mijia Central Air Conditioning Duct Machine in China for 5,999 yuan (~US$820) with a 100 yuan (~US$14) deposit. The gadget will retail for 6,999 yuan (~US$957) when the pre-sale event ends, meaning these earlier customers save 1,000 yuan (~US$137). It is unclear if Xiaomi plans to launch the new product in other markets.
