Xiaomi introduced the Mijia Washing Machine Drum 10Kg Ultra-thin Full Embed, a washing machine with an ultra-thin body of 516 mm that fits completely inside standard 600 mm cabinets, leaving only 15 mm of clearance, all for 1,199 yuan, equivalent to about R$ 902, with 24 washing programs, a 1,500 W motor, and voice control.

The Xiaomi has just launched a washing machine that challenges expectations for an appliance of this type both in size and price. According to the portal Canal Tech, the Mijia Washing Machine Drum 10Kg Ultra-thin Full Embed is a washing machine with a capacity of 10 kilograms, an ultra-thin body of only 516 millimeters in depth, and a launch price of 1,199 yuan, equivalent to about R$ 902. Xiaomi designed the washing machine to fit completely inside cabinets with a standard of 600 mm, leaving a gap of only 15 millimeters between the machine and the surrounding surfaces.

But Xiaomi didn’t just make a thin and cheap washing machine the device comes with 24 washing programs for different fabrics, a 1,500 W DD Direct Drive motor, 1,200 RPM spin speed, and integration into the smart home ecosystem of Xiaomi via HyperConnect. This means voice control through the Xiao AI assistant, operation via the Mijia app, and home automation such as automatically activating a smart drying rack when the washing cycle ends. However, the price is a direct conversion, and there is no official forecast for the sale of Xiaomi’s washing machine in Brazil.

Why Xiaomi made a washing machine that fits inside a cabinet

The most visible difference of Xiaomi’s washing machine is its ultra-thin body. With a depth of 516 mm, it was designed for fully built-in installation in cabinets with a standard of 600 mm the completely flat finish makes Xiaomi’s washing machine flush with the furniture, with only 15 mm of clearance between the surfaces.

This minimal gap prevents dust and dirt accumulation at the joints, a common problem in traditional washing machines that are exposed.

Xiaomi’s proposal is clear: a 10-kilogram washing machine that disappears into the environment, as if it were part of the furniture. In compact apartments and planned kitchens, a reality increasingly common in large cities, space is a luxury item.

Xiaomi designs the washing machine for those who do not want to give up washing capacity but also cannot waste centimeters. Ten kilograms of capacity in a body that fits where many 6-kilogram machines do not.

24 washing programs, 35 types of stains, and steam sterilization: what Xiaomi’s washing machine does inside

In total, Xiaomi’s washing machine offers 24 washing and care programs for different fabrics.

The technology is capable of handling 35 distinct types of stains, using a three-dimensional water flow system and a pre-mixing detergent window that focuses on removing deep stains with minimal chemical residue. The drum has a diameter of 525 mm, a generous space for the movement of clothes during washing.

The cleaning system of Xiaomi’s washing machine drum is triple: a cycle with warm water at 60°C, hot water at 95°C, and steam sterilization.

The door seal features antibacterial nano material that ensures 99.9% protection against microorganisms. For those who need to wash clothes at night, the six-dimensional shock absorption system and seven-layer noise reduction promise silent operation.

The DD Direct Drive motor delivers 1,500 W of power and reaches 1,200 RPM in the final spin.

Voice control, automation, and smart home: Xiaomi placed laundry in the connected ecosystem

In addition to the physical interface with a rotary button and integrated display, Xiaomi’s washing machine connects to the brand’s HyperConnect ecosystem.

Commands can be executed via the Mijia app or by voice through the Xiao AI assistant, allowing you to start, pause, or adjust washing cycles without touching the machine. It’s Xiaomi applying to laundry the same concept that already works with its lamps, vacuum cleaners, and security cameras.

The most interesting feature is the configuration of smart automation scenarios. At the end of Xiaomi’s washing machine cycle, it is possible to automatically activate a smart drying rack connected to the same home ecosystem or send a notification to the phone, turn on a specific light, or any other action configured by the user.

It is Xiaomi’s vision of a home where devices communicate with each other and reduce manual tasks to a minimum.

R$ 902 and 10-year warranty on the motor: price and availability of Xiaomi’s washing machine

The launch price of Xiaomi’s washing machine was set at 1,199 yuan, equivalent to about R$ 902 in direct conversion.

The product also offers a total warranty of three years and a ten-year coverage specifically for the motor an important differential for an appliance at this price.

It is important to emphasize, however, that the price of R$ 902 is only a direct conversion from the Chinese currency, and there is no official forecast for the start of sales of Xiaomi’s washing machine in Brazil.

If it eventually arrives in the Brazilian market, taxes, logistics, and resale margins would likely significantly raise the final price. Still, the numbers show the level of competitiveness that Xiaomi can offer in appliances just as it did with smartphones.

Xiaomi wants to put a smart washing machine inside your cabinet

The Mijia 10Kg Ultra-thin washing machine is the type of product that Xiaomi does better than almost any other company: taking an established category, redesigning it with cutting-edge technology, packaging it in an ultra-compact format, and putting a price that makes competitors rethink their margins.

Ten kilograms, 24 washing programs, voice control, a body that disappears into the cabinet, and a price equivalent to less than R$ 910.

It still needs to arrive in Brazil, and when it does, the price will be different. But Xiaomi’s message to the global appliance market has already been sent: the washing machine is the next territory that the Chinese brand wants to dominate.

Would you buy a washing machine from Xiaomi if it arrived in Brazil? And what do you think of an appliance that fits inside the cabinet and costs less than R$ 910 in China? Leave your opinion in the comments.
