Xiaomi on Wednesday launched its next iteration of the MIJIA vacuum cleaner, dubbed Xiaomi MIJIA Robot 2. This model is cheaper than the recently launched MIJIA Ultra-thin Robot and comes with features like the laser obstacle avoidance sensor and LDS laser navigation.

The Xiaomi MIJIA Robot 2 is priced at CNY 1,799 (~$278) but in the pre-sale period, it will be available for CNY 1,599(~$247). It has a White color variant and will be available for purchase from the Jingdong shopping portal.

The MIJIA Robot 2 comes in the standard circular design and has sensors at the sides. It has an upgraded ultrasonic vibration mop that is claimed to clean the floor with 10,000 high-frequency vibrations. The mop is 99.9% antibacterial and is efficient at cleaning tough stains on the ground.

One of its highlights is the LDS laser navigation support. The feature lets the device scan for complex environments on the ground and maps the cleaning path accordingly. It ensures that the device isn’t stuck with any obstacles.

Moreover, it also comes with ToF laser obstacle avoidance sensors that are claimed to have good accuracy. These sensors help the device to prevent any accidental collisions while cleaning the floor.

It has upgraded 2800Pa suction over the predecessor’s 2100Pa suction power and comes with XiaoAi voice assistant. It also supports Xiaomi Smart Interconnection 2.0 for convenient pairing with Xiaomi smart home gadgets.
