Xiaomi’s range of smart home products is growing larger by the week and a new member of the family has been sighted ready for a new home.
Xiaomi have been on a steady launch cycle of new smart products lately. Originally the brand released TV’s, Android boxes, but quickly moved on to air purifiers, water filters, light bulbs, IP cameras, scales, and most recently a rice cooker, and washing machine.
Their assault on your home isn’t over yet though with an all new autonomous addition to the Xiaomi smart home roster on its way.
The latest to launch will be a Xiaomi branded robot vacuum that will rival the likes of the iRobot for dominance of China’s dusty floors.
Leaked images show a bunch of robot vacuum packages made from recycled cardboard with a line drawing of the device on the front.
Gizchina News of the week
Other leaks include a screenshot from an application which shows the robot mapping its location and also leaving a digital trail of where it has and has not been in your home or office.
Like other Xiaomi products of late pricing is believed to be higher than we are use to and customers wanting to get their hands on the Mimi robot could be expected to fork up around 3000 Yuan.
No details on when the device will launch at this stage.
Are these things actually any good?
I have a Roomba in my condo in Boston. It’s convenient more than anything. I have mine set up to patrol the house at a certain time everyday and it starts up itself does it’s thing then parks itself back in it’s base. It’s not as powerful or as good as a regular vacuum but it’s good for a quick cleanup throughout the day. I still have a regular dyson vacuum that I use once a week for a thorough cleaning.
Ye, I was wondering that…
On the flip side, imagine how good it would be if Dyson made one of these 😉
I keep waiting for it! Having a dog that sheds, my Dyson is worth every penny I paid for it.
