Xiaomi Mijia Washer Dryer 8 kg / 6 kg, 1400 RPM, Steam, White

The drum holds up to 8 kg for washing, enough for bedding, towels or a family's weekly laundry. The integrated drying system handles up to 6 kg, so you can finish a load without moving it to a separate dryer or hanging it up indoors. That saves floor space and time. It is especially handy in flats with no room for a second machine, or during Estonian winters when clothes take ages to dry on a rack.

With a maximum spin speed of 1400 RPM and spin-drying class B, the machine extracts plenty of water before drying starts or before you hang clothes out. Less leftover moisture means shorter drying and fresher-feeling laundry. The A noise emission class and a maximum noise level of 71 dB are the figures to compare with other models in this category. They are useful to know if the machine will sit near a bedroom or living area.

The steam function adds an extra layer of cleanliness. According to Xiaomi, hygiene steam cleaning kills up to 99.99% of bacteria. That matters for baby clothes, towels, bed linen and sportswear, which need more than just a quick rinse. Steam is a practical feature to have when someone in the household has sensitive skin. It is also useful when you want reassurance that everyday textiles come out properly clean.

A colourful touch panel and display make it easy to choose programmes and check progress at a glance. The machine also connects to the Xiaomi Home app, so you can manage it from your smartphone. That suits anyone who already uses Xiaomi smart home devices. The viewing window lets you check on the laundry without interrupting the cycle.

Not every load needs a full programme. The 15-minute super-fast Quick Wash freshens up lightly worn items when you're short on time, such as a shirt for tomorrow or gym clothes after a workout. Combined with the larger 8 kg drum for big weekly loads, it gives you flexibility for both quick touch-ups and thorough washes.

The energy rating is A for washing and D for washing and drying. Listed consumption is 33 kWh per 100 washing cycles and 306 kWh per 100 combined wash-and-dry cycles. These figures make it easy to compare running costs with other washer dryers. You can also save energy by using the dryer only when you really need it.

Measuring 60 × 54 × 85 cm and weighing 59 kg, this free-standing machine fits the standard space for a washing machine. It runs on 220–240 V. It suits families, couples and flat owners who want to wash and dry without buying two appliances. It is also a good fit for smart home users who like app control, and for anyone who values steam hygiene.
