Earlier today (14th January 2020), Xiaomi officially launched a new Smart Air Conditioner. It arrives in two variants with different power load capacities and both are said to beat the current energy efficiency standards of the industry.
Specs and Features
According to official listings, the Xiaomi Smartmi Air Conditioner A arrives in a 1 ton and 1.5 ton models. The key selling point of the home appliance is its energy efficiency. The air conditioner from the Chinese tech giant has an APF (annual performance factor) value as high as 4.65, which is better than the current Chinese power efficiency standard of 4.5. In simpler terms, the higher the APF value, the greater an air conditioner’s energy efficiency. The class 1 level category of energy efficiency was achieved thanks to the new DC frequency conversion motor.
Notably, the Chinese Government had passed a law that has since been claimed to be the strictest energy efficiency standard for Air Conditioners on 1st July 2019. It is officially being implemented now and surpasses similar laws that are found in the US and are a leading international benchmark for the same.

In real-world scenarios, Xiaomi’s new air conditioner saves about 20 percent energy than the other AC’s with class 3 efficiency ratings and lower APF value. Furthermore, the new home appliance offering from the company is also a smart product. Thus, it supports voice commands through the Xiao AI to control the temperature or turn the Air Conditioner on or off.
Price and Availability
The new Xiaomi Smartmi Air Conditioner A is available in two models, with the 1 ton model being offered for 2,299 Yuan (roughly 333 US Dollars) and 2,699 Yuan (roughly 391 US Dollars).
