Some folks in China are living in the future. And I don’t mean drone delivery and crazy-fast trains; I mean segregating clothes from undergarments when doing laundry for hygiene reasons. This can be a significant waste in terms of electricity and water usage. Like, how many undergarments can you possibly have with every wash?
This is where the Xiaomi Mijia Mini Washing Machine comes in. It is primarily designed for washing undergarments. And it’s not just any undergarment-dedicated washing machine—it does medical-grade underwear hygiene washes. I guess a washing machine with a smaller drum for socks isn’t enough to address some Chinese consumers’ obsession with hygiene. And yes, Xiaomi actually has a washing machine with a dedicated front-load just for washing socks.
Anyway, the Xiaomi Mijia Mini Washing Machine takes laundry hygiene to the next level. Of course, it’s not limited to washing underwear; It’s also good for baby clothes, PJs, and yoga pants. Basically, nothing more than 1.2 kilograms. It is not a regular washing machine replacement, though; it’s only good for 2 sets of bras and panties, or 6 panties, or 1 pair of yoga pants, or 1 set of silk PJs. So, it’s really a super light-duty washer.
The Xiaomi Mijia Mini Washing Machine may be small, but it’s loaded with tech. It boasts smart detergent dispensing that automatically matches the amount of detergent to the load. It has three key washing stages: first, mixing detergent and water into a pre-mixed solution (not sticky) for deep fiber penetration; second, a high-pressure direct spray at a 90° angle for even distribution; and finally, an anti-foam spray during the spin-dry cycle to reduce detergent residue and improve rinsing.
It also uses high-temperature steam to sterilize laundry, eliminating nasties like Candida albicans and even HPV. The multi-layer wash can remove blood and other stubborn stains. After washing, there’s a low-temperature drying function, plus nighttime ventilation to keep clothes fresh by morning.
Powered by a direct-drive motor, compatible with Xiaomi HyperConnect, and app-controlled, this desktop-size washer measures 328 mm wide, 452 mm deep, and 461 mm tall, and costs just 1,999 yuan [CH] (~278 USD).
