Xiaomi has introduced a new smart air conditioner for global markets called the Mijia Air Conditioner GentleAir. Unveiled during the company’s Vienna launch event, the new model focuses on reducing the direct cold airflow that many users find uncomfortable with traditional AC units.
To achieve that, Xiaomi has equipped the GentleAir with redesigned air outlets featuring micro-hole flaps that spread airflow more evenly across the room. Rather than blowing a concentrated stream of cold air, the system is designed to create a softer and more diffused airflow pattern.
The air conditioner offers three airflow modes. Halo Flow circulates air around the room while minimizing direct drafts, Canopy Flow directs cool air from above for broader coverage, and Carpet Flow pushes warm air upward from near the floor when heating is enabled. Four-way swing support is also included.
Xiaomi says the unit can cool a room in as little as 30 seconds and provide heating in around 60 seconds under suitable conditions. A Turbo Mode is available as well for users who want maximum output.
On the efficiency side, the company claims its AI Energy Saving mode can reduce power consumption by up to 24.5%. The system adjusts operation based on environmental conditions and usage patterns collected over time, although actual results will vary slightly depending on factors such as room size, temperature, and installation conditions.
The GentleAir is available in four capacity options, including 2.6kW, 3.5kW, 5.2kW, and 7.0kW variants, allowing it to cover a range of room sizes.
Like most recent Xiaomi home appliances, the air conditioner connects to the Xiaomi Home app for remote controls, scheduling, and status monitoring. Google Assistant support is also available for voice commands.
Pricing starts at €569 in global markets. Availability has already begun through Xiaomi’s online stores and selected retail partners, though regional pricing and launch timelines may differ depending on the market.
