On April 23, 2019, as promised, several new products were unveiled at an event that featured a new television series, scales, a fan, a walking bench and a huge air conditioning unit.
Krisztián will finish the article about the TV soon, but in the meantime, let's get to know the Mi Floor Standing AC.
Everyone knows today's mobile air conditioner as a little pushable box, but as I said in the title, it's huge. At average human height it is indeed huge, but so is its performance. This is not going to be a product that you just order from China...
- Indoor unit 1738 x 348 x 416 mm, 37 kg
- Outdoor unit 863 x 602 x 347 mm, 45 kg
Of course, its size is matched by the same performance, with the air conditioner producing 1,100 m3 air, which can move 20-32 m2 is sufficient to fully cool/heat the room. This is aided by 3D air circulation, with blades that can swing the air in all four directions to deliver a refreshing breeze to every corner of the room.
The air conditioner works well in winter and summer, with a rated heating output of 5,650 W and a rated cooling output of 5,100 W. Its 8-metre-long heating filament helps to evenly heat the airflow, with a maximum of 44 sound levels, almost equivalent to a quiet classroom in the daytime, but no louder than 32 on average, as if someone were whispering.
Of course, it's a smart device, so you can control it in the Mi Home or MiJia app. We can track energy and power usage, temperature changes and time or automate it with one of the smart thermometers.
But if you don't want to fiddle with the phone, you can also use its own remote control, which also gives you access to the main functions, although the individual settings of the smart home are not available here.
Xiaomi offers a 6-year warranty on the air conditioner, buying you 6 years of peace of mind. So the Chinese, for us anyway, are out of reach...
Hydrophilic aluminium foil and a high-density filter keep the air clean, and the mobile app lets you know when the filter is clean.
Not only can you control it remotely, but you can also adjust it with a row of buttons on the hidden display at the top of the column and below, and you don't have to worry about the curtains being drawn in, with suitable spacers to prevent this.
Additional features:
- Drying mode
- Energy-saving mode
- Child lock
- Supplementary heat
- Cold wind mode
- Smart start
The Xiaomi MiJia Mi Floor Standing AC air conditioner is priced at 3.490 Yuan ~ 149.190 Ft. It is not cheap, but it is not really available in our country and the price of a similar wall air conditioner starts from 120.000 Ft. But it can't do that much, and of course the price of a Xiaomi air conditioner wouldn't be that much either, but 200.000 Ft. But... Xiaomi CEO after yesterday's launch, it was a shock to see this price and is now available from the Xiaomi Mall webshop for 2.999 Yuan ~ 127.885 Ft. Sometimes I envy our eastern friends...
