In most homes, it is rare to find an air conditioning system in the kitchen. In winter, this may not pose any challenge but cooking during the summer will definitely be associated with sweating due to the ambient temperature. In this regard, Xiaomi Youpin has launched a third-party mobile air-conditioner. The product is manufactured by NEW WIDETECH, a Chinese start-up and adopts a 1,599 yuan (~$226) price tag.

The new mobile air-conditioner is the same size as the Mi Air Purifier but has a universal caster at the bottom. Thus, it can easily be moved to the kitchen when cooking or any other part of the house. It is suitable for any place, such as apartments, office spaces, kitchens, security kiosks, and even outdoor activities.

The NEW WIDETECH Smart Mobile Air-conditioner features an applicable area of 11-17 square meters. The air-con doesn’t utilise a split unit design and as such, no outdoor unit is required. It supports three functions of air supply (adjustable double-speed wind speed), cooling and dehumidification, which not only meets the summer heat but also realizes the dehumidification during the rainy season.

The mobile air conditioner adopts a waterless tank design. It uses a DC water pumping motor to force the evaporation of condensed water without draining at all times, which solves the trouble of draining the machine. The machine also has some air purification functions. The built-in silver ion filter can remove the bacteria in the air including E. coli. It also effectively filters dust and other particles in the air, and make the blown wind more fresh and comfortable.

In addition, it has a built-in Wi-Fi function and can be paired to a smartphone via the MIJIA app. With the app, the settings of the air-conditioner can be adjusted from a smartphone. The machine can also be linked to the XiaoAI-enabled device to achieve voice control. It also has a dedicated remote control.
