The working of the device can be controlled via a smartphone application remotely and it comes with six built-in cloth categories that include over 50 different types of garments. In addition to drying an item of clothing, it leaves them wrinkle-free eliminating the need for ironing. While drying, the temperature of the air can reach upto 70-degree celsius which sterilises the garment, killing any bacteria or removing any odour.

As a safety measure, if temperatures during the process reach above operable conditions, the drying process is automatically paused and a notification is sent to the user’s smartphone. The Xiaomi Clearfly portable clothes dryer is priced at Yuan 299 ($ 42) and as previously mentioned it is available for pre-order on Youpin and the deliveries will start from the 9th of December.
