Earlier today (8th December 2021), Xiaomi launched a new MIJIA Robot Vacuum cleaner that is currently available for crowdfunding in Xiaomi Mall in China. The new model even arrives with an anti-entanglement feature as well, to offer a better cleaning experience to the user.

The Chinese tech giant has launched the new MIJIA Robot Vacuum cleaner that features a 8000Pa suction power and is run by a 5,200mAh battery pack. Talking about its anti-entanglement feature, the new robotic vacuum cleaner that can even untangle hair caught in the cleaning brush of the device. For those unaware, MIJIA’s vacuum cleaners usually are completely automatic and do not require human interaction apart from when users have to clear out the dust box.

However, extended periods of use can cause its cleaning effectiveness to drop as items like hair and large clumped up dust particles get caught in the sweeping brush. But the newly launched model is capable of even clearing up these debris by itself. Furthermore, it features a 450ml dust box and 250ml water tank. The devices is even equipped with a WiFi and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) dual mode wireless module.

In other words, users can even connect this device to the MIJIA app on users’ smartphones by simply bringing your handset close to the robot vacuum cleaner. The new MIJIA product will retail for a price of 2,299 Yuan (roughly 360 US Dollars) but is currently being crowdfunded on Xiaomi Mall for a price tag of 1,899 Yuan (roughly 300 US Dollars).

A lawsuit has been instituted against Xiaomi and its smart robotic vacuum cleaner, Roborock, by US company Wyze Labs over the proprietary rights of Xiaomi over the Patent for the robotic vacuum cleaner.

Wyze had listed its own robot vacuum cleaner on Amazon. But in line with Amazon’s due diligence in ensuring proprietary rights are not infringed, Amazon had flagged Wyze over its product listing on the platform. The company stressed the need for Wyze to settle terms with the holder of US Patent Number 10,271,699, which was for an Autonomous Cleaning Device, or explore Amazon’s internal resolution mechanism to settle the matter. Amazon stressed in communications with Wyze that the owner of the Patent was asserting infringement by Wyze. Amazon thus put a restriction on the continued sale of the Wyze robotic vacuum cleaner on its platform, pending the resolution of the issue via several alternative ways.

The 2019 US Patent is linked to Xiaomi, the Chinese home electronics and smartphone manufacturer. It is believed that Wyze did not take advantage of any of the dispute resolution mechanisms available via Amazon, but sought the legal path by instituting a lawsuit in a Seattle court. Wyze is seeking a decision of the court to invalidate the Patent, citing four examples of prior art in its complaint.

While the decision of the US District Court in Seattle on the matter between Wyze and Xiaomi could swing in any direction, the court must be able to establish a compelling reason to quash a valid US Patent that has gone through the whole hog before being patented. In the meantime, in line with Amazon’s policy on matters of such nature, the conflicting Wyze product may remain off the shelves until the complete determination of the case.

Xiaomi has expanded its home robot vacuum cleaner lineup with the launch of the MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot Vacuum Cleaner. The product happens to be the thinnest model compared to previous models with a 5.5cm body thickness. It also comes with several top-notch features that are not impeded by the thin build.

The MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot Vacuum Cleaner utilizes the popular LiDAR technology to achieve full-scene intelligent obstacle avoidance. As a result of the thin build, the vacuum can navigate to hard-to-reach places in the home. Xiaomi claims to have conducted some research before the design of the product. One such research shows that if the height of the vacuum is controlled within 6cm, more than 80% of the bottom of furniture can be cleaned. Interestingly, the research also shows that the minimum limit of traditional robot vacuums is basically above 8cm or even higher, and the height of the bottom of the furniture in most households in China is about 7cm. Thus, this new vacuum cleaner solves a peculiar problem.

It also deploys a ToF sensor and a front camera which all aid the visual navigation capabilities. The robot vacuum also offers a four-fold increase in scanning range and a five-times increase in the mapping accuracy. After the device has been used for some time, it then automatically generates a zone map.

The MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot Vacuum has two sets of dust boxes, with one having a 500ml large-capacity. There is also a two-in-one drawer combination design made up of a 200mL dust box and a 220mL water tank. With these designs, users can switch between sweep and mop integration and separating sweep and mop functions.

Further, the robot vacuum is equipped with a brushless motor which achieves an ultra-large suction force of 2000Pa. Compared with the ultra-thin mainstream suction nozzle design, the roller brush design deeply absorbs common trash such as lint, particles, and hair. The suction power can be graduated in 4 levels depending on the intensity of the dirt. The base level has less noise while the super-powerful level is ideal for sucking carpets and other dirty areas.

For the mopping function, there is a 200ml intelligent electronically controlled water tank with 3 levels of water volume adjustment. You also get the option of selecting the mopping pressure level.

As with other Xiaomi smart products, the MIJIA Ultra-thin Sweeping and Mopping Robot (if we’ll call it that) can also be remotely controlled via the MIJIA app. The vacuum cleaner can also be set to sweep through a custom cleaning mode when no one is at home. The robot vacuum can also be used to control other home gadgets via the XiaoAI voice prompt.

Talking of the pricing and availability, the MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot Vacuum carries an original price tag of 2,499 yuan (~$380) but is presently available on Jingdong (JD.com) for 1999 yuan (~$310) which is 500 yuan off.
