What happened

Xiaomi's Mijia Robot Vacuum-Mop 7 Max began pre-sales on October 12, 2026, at 10:00. It offers two versions: a water-tank model priced at RMB 4,999 and a slim built-in water model at RMB 5,299. The product features 50°C hot-water spray mopping for targeted floor cleaning. Pre-sale incentives include a gift package worth RMB 448 and a RMB 20 JD.com bean rebate for posting a review.

Technical significance

The robot vacuum-mop uses 50°C hot-water spray for targeted mopping, which may improve stain removal compared to cold-water mopping. The evidence does not specify suction power, navigation technology, or obstacle avoidance capabilities.

Industry impact

Xiaomi's launch of a robot vacuum-mop with hot-water mopping at a mid-range price point pressures competitors in the smart home cleaning segment to match the feature or adjust pricing. The product's availability on JD.com with national subsidies lowers the effective cost for Chinese consumers.

Decision value

The product targets Chinese consumers seeking automated floor cleaning with enhanced stain removal. The two versions cater to different installation preferences, and the pre-sale incentives aim to drive early adoption.

What to watch

A verifiable next signal is whether Xiaomi releases sales figures or user reviews indicating adoption of the hot-water mopping feature. Another signal is whether competing brands introduce similar hot-water mopping models within the next product cycle.
