Xiaomi is expanding its IoT-driven home services and appliances while tightening quality controls. The company exposed and permanently blacklisted two contractor technicians for falsifying vacuuming data during air-conditioner installations, leveraging Bluetooth digital gauges and cloud telemetry to detect tampering and enforce service standards. Concurrently, Xiaomi broadened its consumer hardware lineup with connected cleaning and laundry products: the Mijia Cordless Vacuum 4 Max offers high suction, blue-light dust visualization, intelligent self-emptying and long battery life, and two Mijia Pro top-load washing machines feature an efficient DDM direct-drive motor, reduced water and power use, and strong antibacterial claims. Together these moves highlight Xiaomi’s push into instrumented, networked home appliances and stricter service governance to protect performance and warranties.
Xiaomi launched the Mijia Washing Machine Pro Supreme Edition with a 13kg wash (9kg dry) capacity, now available for pre-order on Xiaomi Youpin at an opening price of ¥3,499 and a national subsidy discounted price of ¥2,974.20. The appliance uses “super electrolysis” technology, which Xiaomi says removes stains, prevents color transfer, and provides residue-free sterilization; it achieves a wash efficiency ratio of 1.3. Features include intelligent dual-dosing, low-temperature gentle drying, 31 wash programs, 24-hour scheduling, add-clothes mid-cycle, and connectivity via Mijia and Xiaomi speakers for remote control and status monitoring. The product targets smart-home integration and energy-efficient laundry performance.
Xiaomi disclosed two cases of fake vacuuming during air-conditioner installations found in a digital audit and permanently blacklisted the two contractor technicians. The company fined the associated installation outlets ¥1,000 per bogus service and warned all partners to self-inspect; repeat offenses will face escalated penalties. Xiaomi’s digital vacuuming system—rolled out with Bluetooth-enabled digital vacuum gauges and integration to the Xiaomi Service Tong app—uploads pressure, duration and curve data to the cloud and blocks order completion until metrics meet standards, enabling automatic detection of anomalous pressure drops and tampering. The move highlights how instrumentation and telemetry can close “black box” service steps and protect product performance and warranty integrity.
Xiaomi launched two new Mijia Pro top-load washing machines in China, with 10kg and 12kg models priced at ¥899 (subsidized from ¥764) and ¥1,099 respectively. The machines use a new DDM variable-frequency direct-drive motor that raises wash ratio to 1.28 (1.3 for 12kg), reduces water use by 10.43%, cuts power consumption 8.82%, lowers noise and wear, and adds a nine-stage smart balance shock system for quieter night operation. The antibacterial wave plate claims 99.99% sterilization (99.95% E. coli, 99.92% S. aureus) and 100% mite removal. They support Xiaomi Surge Connect, Mijia App remote control, and 24-hour intelligent scheduling, positioning them as IoT-enabled, energy-efficient home appliances.
Xiaomi launched the Mijia Cordless Vacuum 4 Max, now open for pre-order at ¥2,351 (¥1,998.35 after China’s appliance subsidy) with sales starting May 29. The vacuum is powered by an 800W brushless motor spinning at 150,000 RPM and claims 280AW suction using a dual airflow dust-collection design. It features a 180° blue-light dust visualization, intelligent self-emptying with a 100-day no-manual-empty promise, eight-stage filtration, multi-scene cleaning (one device for five uses), Xiaomi’s Surge smart connectivity, and a 4,000mAh battery offering up to 90 minutes runtime. The product targets households seeking high-performance, networked cleaning devices and benefits from ongoing government subsidies.
