Key Takeaways
- Xiaomi has launched a new washing machine with three separate drums.
- The device supports AI-generated wash programs based on user input.
- Pricing starts at $595 for the washing machine-only version.
Xiaomi, the Chinese tech giant, has introduced a new AI-powered washing machine that features three separate drums, each with its own water supply, allowing for independent operation.
The Mijia Triple-Tube Washing Machine 14kg series offers a total washing capacity of 14kg, with the main drum handling 11kg and the two smaller side drums each supporting 1.5kg loads.
On the washer-dryer version, the total drying capacity is 9kg, with 7kg in the main drum and 1kg in each smaller drum.
Despite the three-drum layout, Xiaomi claims the machine’s footprint remains close to its 10kg ultra-slim washing machine, making it suitable for standard built-in cabinet setups.
Each drum can operate independently, allowing users to run a complete wash-and-dry cycle in the main drum while simultaneously washing separate loads in the two smaller drums.
Users can also use only one drum when dealing with a smaller amount of laundry, providing flexibility in usage.
The AI Mijia Lingyun system combines Xiaomi’s washing algorithms with the company’s MiMo large model to generate wash programs based on user input.
Users can describe the fabric, color, and type of stain, and the system will create a suitable washing program.
The washing machine supports cold-water sterilization and claims to provide up to 10 days of antibacterial protection inside the drum, reducing the need for high-temperature wash cycles.
The washer-dryer model is priced at around $745, while the washing machine-only version is priced at about $595.
Pre-orders for the new model are now open in China, with no announcement yet on when deliveries will begin.
