The product came with a 2500Pa suction power, OV vision sensor, intelligent electronically controlled water tank, and other features, and the price is 1,299 yuan (~$204). Xiaomi has now unveiled a successor dubbed MIJIA 2C Robot Vacuum Cleaner. The product is priced at 1499 yuan (~$235) but is on re-sale for 1299 yuan (~$204). The product is expected to go on sale on all channels from June 1.

It features a hexagonal full-covering side brush and a 0.1mm ultra-dense fiber main brush to deeply clean the corners of the house and the floor gaps. The vacuum cleaner also packs an upgraded pressurized mopping which will guarantee a more thorough cleaning.
The new product uses ultra-fine fiber antibacterial flexible wipes, coated with a high molecular polymer antibacterial agent, which can inhibit the growth of bacteria for a long time, and achieve 99.9% of the wipes.
Further, the new generation vacuum cleaner is upgraded to 2700Pa cyclone suction with 4-speed suction mode, 550ml dust box, which can instantly remove dust. It is also equipped with a 250ml intelligent electronically controlled water tank, which can be used to mop up to 150 flats at a go.

The robot vacuum’s intelligent interaction has also been upgraded, bringing advanced map management functions. The vacuum cleaner also adds partition cleaning and map editing functions, allowing the user to control the cleaning progress in real-time through the MIJIA app. It supports voice control via XiaoAI voice assistant in order to lin other smart home products to be controlled from the app at once (link control).
