Xiaomi has announced a new robot vacuum plus mop in China, called the Mijia Robot Vacuum and Mop 7 Max. The model succeeds the robot vacuum 6 Max Xiaomi announced last year and comes in two versions: a water tank model, and a slim model with top and bottom water supply.
From what we know, the Mijia Robot Vacuum and Mop 7 Max is one of the more expensive robot vacuum cleaners in the Xiaomi Mijia lineup. The 6 Max was the most expensive model, but somehow its successor costs less at launch.
The water tank version costs 4,999 Yuan (~$747.00 USD), and the slim version costs 5,299 Yuan (~$791.82 USD). Meanwhile, the 6 Max is launched at 6,599 Yuan (~$986.08 USD) for the water tank version and 6,999 Yuan (~$1,045.85 USD) for the water supply and drainage version. This puts the 7 Max about 1,600 to 1,700 Yuan (~$239.09 to ~$254.03 USD) below the official prices of the model it replaces.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum and Mop 7 Max Specifications
Although it costs less at the start, you get more suction this time. It can reach 45,000 Pa negative pressure, up from 35,000 Pa to the 6 Max. It also sprays water heated to 50 ℃ and turns it on itself when it detects a kitchen or bathroom. Xiaomi also claims a floor sterilization rate of 99.99%.
The 7 Max detects more than 320 objects and types of debris. The 6 Max recognized 280 object types and 47 dirt types in comparison, and Xiaomi counts the two models differently, so the numbers don’t match exactly. Xiaomi says the 7 Max is less likely to tangle with cables and can match its cleaning method to the type of mess.
Some things remain the same. The 7 Max holds the triple robot arms to sweep edges and mop along walls, corners and furniture, and one arm reaches the edges of tables and chairs, missing the main role. It also crosses obstacles up to 6cm high, the same figure as the 6 Max, so you can expect it to handle stairs and thresholds in the same way.
The 7 Max has a slimmer body and a built-in 3D area array radar that lets it clean under beds and closets. Xiaomi did not share a gap height, while the 6 Max could enter places as low as 9.3 cm. Like the 6 Max, it mops and scrapes at the same time, and it collects the dirty water as it goes, so the mop cloth stays clean.
Xiaomi has so far only announced pricing and pre-sales for China, with no word on a global release.
