If you follow me on social media, you may have noticed that I was in Milan yesterday to attend a Xiaomi presentation: in addition to new electric scooters and a tablet, the manufacturer also announced the launch of four new robot vacuum cleaners, high-performance and at rock-bottom prices, available now. Xiaomi has always placed its users at the center of its concerns, offering them devices that aim to improve their daily lives, providing them with the best technology and a simple and engaging user experience. With these new products, we renew our commitment to bringing innovation and quality to the industry, while continuing to expand our offerings and optimize our product portfolio in the Western European markets.Ou Wen, Xiaomi Western Europe General Manager
When it comes to household chores, a growing number of people are looking for products that can clean quickly, with the ability to control settings via their smartphone. Xiaomi is launching four new products in the European markets to meet all needs, not only in terms of efficiency, but also price. From entry-level to high-end devices, it offers users the widest possible choice.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E12: The Most Affordable
For those looking for an affordable product with a discreet design, but without sacrificing suction power, the manufacturer has presented the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E12. Its height of only 8 cm allows it to pass under most furniture.
Thanks to its numerous sensors, it is capable of cleaning the entire house by zigzagging through each room. Be careful, however, as it does not have a laser rangefinder or camera, it will not be able to map rooms. It relies solely on a gyroscope to navigate.
Its suction power of up to 4000Pa is suitable for all floor types. It's also equipped with a water tank and a vibrating mop for more efficient cleaning.
Equipped with a 2600mAh Li-Ion battery, it offers a runtime of approximately 110 minutes.
Listed at a retail price of €199.99
, it's available at the exceptional price of just €179.99 for first-time buyers! This is the entry-level model by definition, but with fairly limited technology. It's best reserved for those who are primarily focused on price. Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10+ and Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S12The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10+ and Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S12 complete the S series. Like all S and X series products, they are equipped with LDS (360° radar) technology that maps the entire home and then plans an effective cleaning route, regardless of the size and layout of the house. This effective technology has proven itself.
Both models offer suction power of up to 4000Pa.
The S12, equipped with a vibrating mop and a 3200mAh Li-ion battery, is available for €269.99 for first-time buyers (retail price €299.99 thereafter).
The S10+ model features two rotating mops for cleaning the floor, 3D obstacle detection using lasers, and a 5200mAh Li-ion battery. It's clearly a step up from the competition.
It's priced at €399.99 until May 28th (then it will return to its retail price of €449.99).
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X10: A lighter and more affordable X10+The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X10, the latest addition to Xiaomi's robot vacuum line, is designed to simplify cleaning while ensuring optimal performance.
In addition to powerful 4000Pa suction and a 5200mAh battery (approximately 2 hours of battery life), it features LDS (laser rangefinder) radar navigation. For mopping, it is also equipped with a vibrating mop.
Combined with its emptying station and the Xiaomi Home mobile app, this versatile cleaning device is specifically suited for cleaning all types of floors, including tiles, parquet, and carpet. It's the perfect ally for deep cleaning around the home, allowing users to enjoy their free time after a long day at work.
Its price is extremely competitive for a model equipped with an emptying station, with the first-time buyers starting at €399.99. Note that this is a slimmed-down version of the Xiaomi X10+ released at the end of 2022. This version clearly remains the manufacturer's “high-end” model: equipped this time with a washing station and motorized mops, it is capable of vacuuming as well as washing the floor, automatically managing its clean water supply. It can also empty its dirty water into the station, as well as its dust bin, making cleaning truly automated. Let's not forget the presence of a 3D camera and an S-Cross AI system for obstacle recognition.
The price is, of course, much higher…
Other products presented…
Xiaomi also presented a few other new products. Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 and 4 Lite
The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 range is enriched with two new models, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 and 4 Lite, equipped with a 600W and 300W motors respectively, capable of reaching a top speed of 20 km/h. With a battery capacity of 7,650 mAh, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 can cover distances of up to 35 km on a single charge, easily climbing slopes of up to 16%. The battery capacity of the 4 Lite version is 5,200 mAh, giving it a range of 20 km.
The drum brake on the rear wheel of the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Lite, along with the E-ABS system on the front wheel, reduces braking distance, ensuring greater safety. The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4, meanwhile, is equipped with an improved dual-action disc brake on the rear wheel to optimize braking efficiency; With the E-ABS system on the front wheel, the braking distance will be much shorter.These two new electric scooters are already available for sale, priced at €549 for the “regular” version and €399 for the Lite version, respectively.
Xiaomi Pad 6: A tablet designed for work
The Xiaomi Pad 6 features a thinner and lighter unibody design than the previous version and an elegant metallic finish. The device is powered by a Snapdragon 870 processor and features an 11.3″ LTPS LCD display with WQHD+ resolution, a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, 309 ppi, and support for Dolby Vision and HDR10.
The Xiaomi Pad 6 features a 13MP main camera and an 8MP front camera, as well as quad speakers that deliver immersive stereo sound thanks to Dolby Atmos. The 8,840mAh battery provides up to 16 hours of video playback and supports 33W fast charging. Additionally, thanks to USB 3.2 Gen 1, which supports speeds up to 5Gbps4 and 4K video output at 60fps with the DP interface, transferring files to a laptop will be even easier and faster.
Thanks to MIUI Pad 14, the device's software is optimized to offer the best connectivity and new “conferencing tools” such as active noise cancellation and the ability to keep faces centered during video conferences by tracking their movements with the FocusFrame feature. The Xiaomi Pad 6 is a highly versatile device, and thanks to the Xiaomi Smart Pen (2nd generation) and the Xiaomi Pad 6 Keyboard, the experience can be even smarter. It's therefore comfortable for working, watching videos or movies on the go, but also for taking notes or drawing.
The Xiaomi Pad 6 will be available in Europe in three colors: Champagne, Gravity Gray, and Mist Blue. Unfortunately, we don't yet have any information on pricing or a release date.
