Compact Machine Combines High Temperature, Water and Energy Saving, and Sterilization Technology to Eliminate Microorganisms, Including HPV, in Small Loads of Clothes, Promising Hygiene and Practicality in Reduced Spaces.

The Xiaomi has launched in China the Xiaomi Mini Washer and Dryer with a capacity of 1.2 kg, focusing on hygiene and low consumption, with thermal washing at 95 °C and a promise of 99.99% sterilization, including HPV, as well as care modes for delicate fabrics and water and energy savings.

The launch price is 1,999 yuan (approximately R$ 1,5 thousand in direct conversion), with no official forecast for Brazil.

What Is the Xiaomi Mini Washer and Dryer

The model arrives on the domestic market with the commercial name Mijia Washing Machine Mini Washer and Dryer 1.2kg, and is already appearing on the brand’s official channels in China.

In international and community publications, the product is also called Mi Home Mini Wash, a name used by part of the Xiaomi ecosystem outside of Mandarin.

The proposal is to wash and dry small loads — underwear, baby clothes, light t-shirts — with a focus on disinfection and fabric care.

The Xiaomi Mini Washer and Dryer is a countertop model, measuring 328 × 452 × 461 mm and designed for compact apartments.

Hygiene in Focus: 95 °C and Medical Grade Certification

According to the launch material in China, the equipment combines steam disinfection with thermal washing at 95 °C and specific cycles for intimate clothing.

The company claims “99.99% elimination of HPV”, 100% removal of mites, and allergen reduction above 99%, with hygiene certification for intimate clothes.

In practical terms, this means tackling microorganisms that cause skin and mucosal infections without requiring aggressive chemicals — a differentiator for those seeking an exclusive cycle for sensitive items.

Consumption: Water and Energy Saving, Apart from 0.08 kWh per Hour

The brand indicates that the Xiaomi Mini Washer and Dryer reduces water consumption by up to 60% and energy expenditure by up to 32% compared to conventional models in the same category.

Another disclosed fact is consumption of only 0.08 kWh per hour, an indicator that reinforces the appeal of efficiency in continuous use.

The machine also features a smart drying algorithm, which automatically stops the process when it detects that the pieces are dry, avoiding unnecessary expenditure.

Programs, App, and Practical Features for Everyday Life

In addition to sterilization at high temperatures, the product offers 20 washing and drying programs and supports remote control via the Mi Home/HyperOS Connect app, allowing users to start, pause, or schedule cycles from their smartphones.

Among the shortcuts, there is a 15-minute quick wash and a quick wash and dry cycle in about 45 minutes, ideal for small volumes.

Once the cycle is complete, if the door is not opened within 30 minutes, fresh air ventilation kicks in to keep the clothes fresh until removed.

For sensitive fabrics, such as silk, the care mode operates at low temperatures, around 35 °C, to minimize damage.

The smart detergent dosing pre-mixes the product to form a concentrated liquid, improving cleaning action and reducing waste.

Capacity: What Is a 1.2 kg Drum For?

With 1.2 kg washing capacity, the Xiaomi Mini Washer and Dryer is designed for small daily loads: a family’s underwear, baby bodysuits and blankets, light t-shirts, gym clothes, or pajamas.

The drying capacity is 0.5 kg, sufficient for a set of light items.

The compact design makes it easier to install the Mi Home Mini Wash on countertops or reinforced shelves, freeing up space in the service area.

How Concentrated Washing Works

One of the highlights is the quick wash function with concentration, which pre-activates the detergent by mixing it with water before application.

The concentrated liquid is then sprayed onto the fabric, accelerating the breakdown of dirt and reducing the action time.

This design helps to make the claims of 60% less water and 32% less energy declared by the manufacturer possible.

Additionally, the Mi Home Mini Wash performs self-cleaning of the drum at high temperature (95 °C), which decreases residual odors between cycles.

Price and Availability

The promotional launch price was set at 1,999 yuan in China.

There are local references to additional discounts through government subsidies, but they vary by region.

There is no official sales announcement in Brazil.

In specialized publications, the immediate focus is the Chinese market; in Europe, for example, publications note that the availability of Xiaomi washers is still limited outside Asia.

For the Brazilian audience, the alternative for now is importation, subject to taxes and limited technical assistance.

Details That Make a Difference in the Routine

For those who wash clothes at night, the automatic ventilation system after 30 minutes prevents musty smells if the laundry remains in the drum until the next day.

The 35 °C care mode caters to silk and delicate fibers; meanwhile, the 15-minute cycle addresses everyday emergencies.

In the Xiaomi ecosystem, integration with the app allows for firmware updates via OTA, enabling fine-tuning of programs over time.

In real domestic use, the compact format and low consumption are likely to be the main attractions of the Xiaomi Mini Washer and Dryer and Mi Home Mini Wash for those needing an auxiliary appliance aimed at intimate, children’s, or sportswear.

Key Points at a Glance

  • Sterilizes at 95 °C and promises 99.99% against HPV, 100% against mites, and >99% against allergens.
