Xiaomi has quietly dropped an affordable top-load washing machine. It’s the Mijia Washing Machine with Giant Washing Pulsator 6kg (model XQB60MJ101), and it’s currently on pre-sale in the home country. Put down a 50 yuan deposit and the full price is just 587 yuan, roughly $88. Not bad for a proper 6kg machine.
According to Xiaomi, that 6kg capacity can handle up to 26 T-shirts in one go. The whole unit only takes up about 0.25 square meters of floor space, with dimensions around 496 × 507 × 814 mm. It’s a clean, minimalist white design that should fit most small homes or apartments without looking out of place. There’s also a child lock on the control panel so kids can’t mess with it while it’s running.
You get 10 different wash modes and 10 water level options. The standout is a 19 min quick wash, which is genuinely useful when you just need a small load done fast. You can also set a delay anywhere from 2 to 24 hours, which is handy if you want to run it during cheaper electricity hours or while you’re out.
On the practical side, it has a double-layer mesh filter that catches lint pretty well, so you end up with less residue on your clothes. There’s a drum self-clean mode that uses high-speed water to flush out built-up dirt, plus a drum air-dry function that helps keep the inside dry and reduce the chance of that musty smell building up.
Basic specs: 220V, 50Hz, IPX4 waterproof rating, and it works with water pressure between 0.05 and 0.8 MPa. China’s energy label rates it Level 1, using 0.065 kWh of electricity and 78 liters of water on a standard cycle, with a cleaning ratio of 0.90.
This isn’t one of Xiaomi’s fancy smart washers, no app control or anything like that. It’s just a straightforward, no-nonsense machine that does the basics well. For renters, people in small apartments, or anyone who wants a solid secondary washer without spending much, the combination of decent capacity, quick cycles, self-cleaning features, and that sub-600-yuan price makes it a pretty sensible option. For now it’s only available on Xiaomi’s Chinese store, with no word yet on an international release.
