Xiaomi has put a new floor-standing air conditioner on sale in China, and the Mijia Powerful Wind Vertical 3HP costs 5999 yuan, or 885 dollars, dropping to 5100 yuan, or 750 dollars, with the government subsidy. It is aimed at buyers who want brute force, decent efficiency, and a dose of smart-home polish.
This is not a timid little bedroom unit. Xiaomi says the flagship model can push air up to 16 meters, cover a 115-degree spread, and move 1800 m³/h, which puts it in the sort of territory where vertical ACs start behaving more like room-wide climate machines than simple appliances. That mix of sheer airflow and connected features is exactly how Chinese brands keep squeezing premium pricing without leaning only on brand cachet.
Mijia Powerful Wind Vertical 3HP specs
The headline numbers are easy to skim and hard to ignore. Xiaomi says the unit includes a new dual-cylinder compressor, a copper dual-row condenser, and a copper dual-row evaporator. It also offers ceiling, floor, and left-right airflow modes, plus a 140Hz UHF Power Mode that boosts cooling power by 32.5% and heating power by 26.5%.
- Airflow: 1800 m³/h
- Reach: up to 16 meters
- Coverage angle: 115 degrees
- APF: 4.9
- Annual savings claimed by Xiaomi: up to 660 kWh
Smart home features and operating range
Xiaomi is also leaning hard on the connected-home angle. The air conditioner supports HyperOS Connect, Xiao AI voice control, over-the-air updates, and intelligent self-diagnosis, and it can work in scenarios tied to a car and other smart-home systems. That is the kind of ecosystem glue Xiaomi likes to sell, and rivals such as Midea and Gree have spent years trying to match with their own app-first appliance lineups.
The operating range is broad enough to look almost theatrical: Xiaomi says the unit works from -35°C to +65°C. In China, buyers also get 10-year free service, which is the sort of warranty-backed nudge that makes a high-ticket appliance easier to swallow.
Why Xiaomi is pushing a flagship floor unit
The pitch is obvious. Xiaomi wants this model to signal that its Mijia line can do more than budget gadgets and basic comfort devices; it can also handle serious home infrastructure. With summer demand rising and smart-home purchases increasingly judged on app integration as much as on raw output, the company is betting that a powerful AC with a subsidy-friendly price will look smart even before the first cold blast hits the room.
The bigger question is how quickly Xiaomi can turn that promise into volume. If the efficiency claims hold up in everyday use, the Mijia Powerful Wind Vertical 3HP could become one of those appliances that quietly pressures competitors to upgrade their own premium floor-standing units, because nobody enjoys explaining why a 5999 yuan air conditioner sounds smarter than theirs.
