Xiaomi is launching the Mijia Floor Scrubber 5 Pro, a vacuum cleaner that combines a classic mopping function with high-temperature steam and strong suction power. This is reported by Donaninhaber. The device is aimed at anyone who not only wants to clean surfaces, but also effectively combat bacteria – in a single pass. A look at the specs shows that Xiaomi is not doing things by halves here.
- 26,000 Pa suction power for effective removal of dust, hair, crumbs and liquids in a single pass
- 160°C steam temperature with 2,850 mg/min steam output for hygienic, bacteria-killing cleaning
- 4,000 mAh battery with up to 40 minutes runtime – enough for around 340 square meters per charge
- Self-cleaning function with 100°C hot water and hot air drying against odors and mould
What’s behind the steam technology
The most striking feature of the Mijia Floor Scrubber 5 Pro is its integrated steam system. A 300-watt boiler heats water up to 160°C and produces up to 2,850 milligrams of steam per minute. This temperature is sufficient to not only loosen visible dirt, but also to kill bacteria on the floor surface – without the need for additional cleaning agents. This is particularly relevant for households with children or pets, where hygienic cleaning plays a major role.
The combination of steam and suction power is not just a marketing promise: The appliance’s 26,000 Pa suction power is well above what many cordless vacuum cleaners in the same price range offer. At the same time, a roller brush operates at 400 revolutions per minute, which physically loosens dirt from the floor before the suction system picks it up. Xiaomi’s so-called “shark tooth” comb structure is also designed to prevent hair and pet hair from getting caught in the brush – a common annoyance with conventional appliances. A four-layer anti-tangling system complements this function and, according to the manufacturer, makes the scrubber particularly suitable for everyday use in households with long hair or pet fur.
Self-cleaning, tank design and battery life
The self-cleaning function of the Mijia Floor Scrubber 5 Pro is particularly well thought out. After each use, the appliance automatically cleans the roller brush and internal components with 100°C hot water – this significantly reduces odors caused by damp dirt residues. A hot air system then dries the internal parts to permanently prevent the formation of mold and moisture. This is a detail that is often neglected in wet cleaning appliances in this category and can quickly become a problem in everyday use.
Xiaomi relies on a proven two-tank system for the tank: 1,000 ml of fresh water and 700 ml of dirty water are kept completely separate from each other. This prevents dirt that has already been picked up from being spread on the floor again – a fundamental hygiene advantage over simpler single-tank designs. The 4,000 mAh battery provides up to 40 minutes of operating time, which according to Xiaomi is enough for around 340 square meters – enough to clean medium-sized to large homes in one go. An LED display and audible alerts provide information on the status of the device, fill level and any error states during operation.
Conclusion
The Xiaomi Mijia Floor Scrubber 5 Pro is a technically well-equipped wet cleaning appliance that scores with steam technology, high suction power and sophisticated self-cleaning – and all at a comparatively low price. In China, sales will start at an introductory price of around 314 US dollars (approx. 280 euros), while the regular list price is around 365 US dollars (approx. 325 euros). International availability has not yet been officially confirmed; however, Xiaomi products from the Mijia line regularly appear on the European market via import channels.
