The Xiaomi tri-drum washer Mijia Tri-drum Washer Dryer Pro 14.5kg went on presale in Hong Kong on Nov. 9, Xiaomi said, offering three independently supplied and drained drums that can wash and dry separate loads at the same time.
Xiaomi tri-drum washer capacity and drum layout
The machine combines one large lower drum and two smaller upper drums. The lower drum has a 525 millimeter diameter, a wash capacity of 12.5 kilograms (about 27.6 pounds) and a dry capacity of 8 kilograms (about 17.6 pounds), suitable for bedding or a family load. The two upper drums each wash up to 1 kilogram (about 2.2 pounds) and dry up to 0.5 kilogram (about 1.1 pounds). The unit’s total listed wash capacity is 14.5 kilograms (about 32 pounds), with a combined dry capacity of 9 kilograms (about 19.8 pounds).
OxygenCare stain treatment and test results
All three drums support Xiaomi’s OxygenCare active-oxygen treatment, which uses diamond-coated electrodes to electrolyze water and generate active oxygen, the company said. Xiaomi said internal tests covered 20 common stains, including soy sauce, fruit juice and blood; under specified test conditions, OxygenCare delivered whitening comparable to using 50 grams of color-safe bleach powder, and reduced transfer comparable to using 15 blotting sheets, Xiaomi said.
Wash and dry programs, AutoDose and spin speeds
The large drum offers a 32-minute intelligent wash cycle, while the small drums have a 12-minute quick-wash option for light loads. The AutoDose system dispenses detergent separately for each drum, and the large drum includes a dedicated compartment for fabric softener. Spin speeds top out at 1,400 revolutions per minute for the large drum and 1,200 RPM for each small drum.
The dryer programs are set per drum, with a low-temperature dry cycle for the large drum from 55 to 65 degrees Celsius (131 to 149 degrees Fahrenheit), and a gentle dry program for the small drums from 35 to 40 degrees Celsius (95 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit). The machine also includes pet-hair wash and down-dry programs.
Touch controls, app monitoring and energy claim
The three drums can be set independently on the machine’s touch panel, or controlled remotely via the Mijia app, which lets users adjust water temperature and rinse counts and view water and electricity usage. The unit uses a direct-drive motor and a vibration-control structure intended to limit noise and movement, Xiaomi said.
Xiaomi said the Mijia Tri-drum Washer Dryer Pro achieves energy efficiency that it measures as 40 percent better than the EU A grade standard, a figure listed on the machine’s Class A-40 label. The company provided the energy claim on its Hong Kong product page.
