Xiaomi has opened preorders for the Mijia Wireless Floor Cleaner 5, a cordless wet-and-dry vacuum that goes on sale on July 8 and is priced at 1,399 yuan, or $205. The Xiaomi Mijia Floor Cleaner 5 is built for large homes, with enough battery life to clean up to 300 m² in one go.
That makes it another entry in the increasingly crowded floor-cleaner arms race, where brands are trying to win on brute-force suction, smarter brush design, and self-maintenance. Xiaomi is leaning hard on convenience here, and that is usually what gets people to upgrade from a basic stick vacuum that does the job, sort of, if you are patient.
Xiaomi Mijia Floor Cleaner 5 price and release date
The new model is priced at 1,399 yuan, which Xiaomi says is about $205. Sales begin on July 8, following the preorder launch. For that money, buyers get a floor cleaner with wet and dry cleaning support rather than a simple vacuum, which is where the appeal starts to get serious.
Against that backdrop, the price looks aggressive. Competing multifunction cleaners often creep upward once self-cleaning, higher suction, and better brush systems get added, so Xiaomi is clearly trying to keep this in the impulse-upgrade zone.
18,000 Pa suction and a brush built for hair
The headline spec is 18,000 Pa of suction, paired with a roller brush that spins at up to 400 rpm. Xiaomi also says the cleaner has a four-stage anti-tangle system designed to deal with long hair, using brush teeth, a pressure scraper, and a V-shaped air duct. That is the kind of feature people ignore until the first time they spend 20 minutes cutting hair out of a roller.
- Suction power: 18,000 Pa
- Brush speed: up to 400 rpm
- Cleaning modes: three
- Clean water tank: 1,000 ml
The machine also keeps rinsing the brush with water during cleaning, which Xiaomi says reduces the chance of dragging dirt back across the floor. That is a sensible move, and one that separates decent wet cleaners from the ones that mostly smear yesterday around today.
Self-cleaning at 100°C and 45 dB
After the cleaning is done, the brush is washed and dried at temperatures of up to 100°C. Xiaomi says the self-cleaning mode stays below 45 dB, so the machine should be less annoying than the average appliance with a smug app and a noisy motor.
The body can recline 180°, which helps it reach under furniture to a depth of 104 cm. Xiaomi also says the water tank lowers the center of gravity, easing strain on the hand and improving floor contact. Those are the sort of details that matter far more in real homes than glossy marketing language about ”smart cleaning.”
Battery life for large rooms
Xiaomi says the battery lasts about 45 minutes, enough to clean areas of up to 300 m². That puts the Mijia Floor Cleaner 5 squarely in the category of one-pass household tools rather than quick-touchup gadgets, and it gives Xiaomi a decent shot at buyers who want fewer chores and fewer compromises.
The real test will be whether the anti-tangle system and self-cleaning features hold up outside the demo floor. If they do, Xiaomi has a very convincing sub-$250 cleaner on its hands; if they do not, it becomes just another well-specified appliance with a good launch day and a hard life afterward.
