Xiaomi launches new heat pump washer-dryer with AI wash suggestions

[Redaktion]

Xiaomi has launched its first heat pump washer-dryer in China, a 13kg-wash, 9kg-dry Mijia model with a recommended price of CNY 6,499 (about $970). Xiaomi claims the heat pump uses 73% less electricity than a condenser washer-dryer and dries 49% faster with twin fans, while a large language model recommends programmes from users' descriptions of their clothes.

Having a heat pump is definitely much better than traditional heaters.

I'm not sure we'll see this outside of China though (and it'll probably be crazy expensive).

Sounds all good and interesting but the price from 12KG 525USD to 970USD  for 13 KG washer is a lot don't you think for 1 KG more ?
