Xiaomi just launched the Mijia Washing Machine Pro 10kg in China, priced at 2,699 yuan (about $396), available for pre-order now. The highlight isn’t flashy design or app controls – it’s the Super Electrolysis system that amplifies active oxygen levels in the wash water by 15 times. According to Xiaomi, this tech tackles stains and bacteria effectively without needing extra chemical boosters.
The Super Electrolysis system uses a diamond-coated electrode that rapidly charges the water, generating active oxygen molecules that penetrate fabric fibers to break down dirt and bacteria. Xiaomi claims the process leaves no residues behind. It’s designed for common laundry pain points like stubborn stains, yellowing whites, and delicate colored loads.
According to Xiaomi, the Mijia Washing Machine Pro handles 20 common stain types-from soy sauce and juice to blood. Without extra cleaning modes, it reaches a sterilization rate of 99.99%. Pair it with high-temperature steam, and Xiaomi boosts that to 99.999%, killing viruses, bacteria, and even fully removing dust mites. These numbers echo ongoing trends in Chinese home appliances, where brands like Haier and Midea have been pushing antibacterial steam cycles and hygiene-focused washes for years. Xiaomi is entering a fiercely competitive segment already crowded with such claims.
Xiaomi Mijia Washing Machine Pro specs and features
- 10 kg load capacity
- Washing performance index of 1.3 (Chinese standard baseline: 1.03)
- Auto-dosing for detergent and fabric softener
- Dosing precision within ±0.75 ml
- Quick wash cycle in 36 minutes
- Express cycle available in 12 minutes
- Dedicated modes for down, wool, and pet hair
- Removes up to 92% of pet hair
A standout feature is the machine’s self-calculating detergent and softener dosing based on load weight. Xiaomi says a full tank lasts about a month of regular washes. This practical convenience often beats the headline-grabbing Super Electrolysis claims, since automatic dosing saves detergent and avoids overflows-a feature that distinguishes many midrange washers globally.
The Mijia Pro also comes with an AI assistant that remembers your washing preferences and supports scheduling washes during off-peak electricity hours. You can control it via Xiaomi’s Mi Home app or voice commands through their smart speakers. The unit sports a sleek silver body with a black mirror door and supports flush installation for integrated kitchen or laundry setups.
Xiaomi backs the direct-drive DD motor with a 10-year warranty, while the entire machine comes with three years of coverage. This isn’t Xiaomi’s first shot at premium home appliances; earlier this year they launched a 12kg model featuring the same Super Electrolysis tech. Now, they’re bringing that innovation downmarket to a more accessible 10kg model, where competition is especially fierce and buyers focus on which appliance offers the best combination of features and value for the 2,500-3,000 yuan price range.
China’s appliance market has seen rapid adoption of antibacterial and steam-enhanced washing features in recent years. For international readers, brands like Samsung and LG have integrated steam and ozone cleaning tech into high-end models, but Xiaomi’s approach-combining active oxygen electrolysis with AI-driven auto-dosing at this price point-signals growing sophistication in China’s mid-tier laundry segment.
Keep an eye on how Xiaomi leverages its smart home ecosystem here. Their voice control integration and energy scheduling respond to evolving user habits and energy markets. Whether Super Electrolysis becomes a must-have feature or just marketing depends on real-world stain removal and detergent savings. But Xiaomi’s bet on smart convenience and hygiene tech, pushed to competitive pricing, could shake up established players in China and beyond.
