Review of Xiaomi washing machines

A newcomer has appeared among Xiaomi washing machines - the improved MiJia Washing Machine with a load of up to 10 kg and built-in laundry drying. But manufacturers decided to surprise consumers not only with versatility and high power, but also with an attractive price. Its cost is only $330, which is 2.5 times cheaper than machines with similar technical parameters from other well-known brands. Why Xiaomi washing machines cost less and what other advantages they can boast of, we will describe in detail below.

What is a Xiaomi machine?

A low price always inspires suspicion, so we recommend that you take a closer look at the Xiaomi MiJia Washing Machine 10kg before purchasing. At first glance, this machine looks like a regular washing machine, but if you take a closer look, you can immediately note one of the obvious advantages - compactness. Despite the increased loading volume, its dimensions are 598 × 650 × 850 mm, which is significantly smaller than similar models from third-party brands. The weight of the unit also differs, although not for the better, since the stated 71 kg will not be easy to move if necessary.

For comparison, previous Xiaomi washing machines had a capacity of up to 4 kg and were not equipped with a drying function, so they weighed only 34 kg.

But the owners of the new machine will be pleased with the design. The machine is produced in a classic white color, but the “highlight” will be the front hatch door and instrument panel made in black. The large touch display equipped with white LEDs also fits in harmoniously. The strength of the screen, protected by thick glass, is also noted separately.

Further review will not reveal any peculiarities.The buttons and keys look standard and provide clear operation; the powder receptacle is also located in the usual place. On the back panel there are connectors for connecting to communications, and the Xiaomi MiJia Washing Machine stands on four black legs. The only surprising thing is the hatch, increased to 48 cm in diameter, which occupies an impressive part of the front wall.

Functionality

Now let's move on to the functionality of the new Xiaomi washing machine. One of the main options is increased capacity, allowing you to wash up to 10 kg of laundry in one cycle. But there is no need to be afraid of having to “save” dirty things until you reach the desired weight, since a half load is possible. Moreover, the smart system is capable of automatically “adjusting” to the amount of loaded clothing and gaining the optimal water level. This greatly saves water consumption.

The abundance of available modes is also pleasing. The new Xiaomi has 21 of them, including express wash, delicate wash, daily wash, economical wash and many others. If desired, you can enable a delayed start or change the cycle time using a timer. There is also a sound accompaniment, thanks to which the machine announces the end of the program with a melodic signal. The performance characteristics of the model are also impressive.

1. The rated power of the washing machine is 1800 W.
2. The nominal power of the dryer is 1200 W.
3. Spin speed – up to 1400 rpm (with the ability to vary intensity and time).
4. Noise level – 62-72 dB.
5. Energy consumption class – A+.
6. Complete protection against leaks.

The machine is equipped with a modern brushless Nidec variable frequency BLDC motor, which has proven itself to be a reliable, stable and durable motor.

As for drying, in this mode no more than 6 kg of dry laundry is loaded at a time. In addition to fast and high-quality drying, the machine will also give the hostess “ironing”, since the special technology for ironing things is no worse than an iron.

The possibility of remote control will make it easier to control the washing machine and dryer. It is enough to download the appropriate application to your smartphone to start washing or drying, set up a program, monitor the process or diagnose system problems.

Main advantages of technology

Our review clearly showed the strengths of the new washing machines from Xiaomi. This includes an impressive capacity of 10 kg, the ability to dry things after washing, an abundance of different programs, as well as a powerful engine, noiselessness and stability even at maximum acceleration of the drum. The list of “pluses” is complemented by an aesthetic appearance, remote control and excellent technical parameters.

The reliability of the machine is confirmed by the manufacturers themselves, giving it a 10-year warranty. Such a long warranty period is explained by the trouble-free operation of the unit for several years, which has been proven by numerous tests. So, the washing machine is designed for:

• 3750 hours of washing;
• 3750 hours drying;
• 20,000 times opening and closing the hatch door;
• 20,000 cycles for drum rotation.

Special options are also designed to provide additional protection. For example, automatic control of power surges and smoothing out drum imbalances during spinning. The response to system malfunctions is also well organized - the control module instantly signals a problem, stopping the operation and displaying an error code.

We remind you that the price of Xiaomi MiJia Washing Machine 10 is only $330.It is impossible to find a unit similar in power and characteristics for that amount. Especially when you consider that early buyers can order a new Xiaomi for only $291.
