The kitchen of the future is here, and it’s smarter and more spacious than ever. Xiaomi has just launched its latest flagship appliance in China: the Mijia Refrigerator Pro Micro-Freshness Dual System Cross-Type 560L. This isn't just another fridge; it's a comprehensive food management hub designed to integrate seamlessly into the smart home ecosystem, promising precision, preservation, and unparalleled convenience.
Priced at CNY 9,999 (approximately $141) on the Xiaomi Youpin platform, this model marks a significant step in Xiaomi's ambition to dominate every corner of the connected home.
A Masterclass in Organized Cooling and Capacity
At its core, the refrigerator boasts a substantial 560-litre total capacity, intelligently split between a 360-litre refrigeration section and a 200-litre freezer. The fridge compartment is meticulously organized into 18 different storage zones, catering to everything from delicate fruits to tall bottles, ensuring every item has its optimal place.
Below, the powerful freezer doesn’t just chill—it deep-freezes, capable of reaching temperatures as low as -30°C (-22°F). This is ideal for long-term preservation while locking in freshness.
Precision at Its Coldest: The Micro-Freshness Dual System
What sets the Mijia Refrigerator Pro apart is its claim of exceptional temperature consistency. Xiaomi states that its advanced dual-system technology maintains temperature stability within a razor-thin margin of 0.1°C, monitored by three independent temperature probes. This eliminates damaging fluctuations, providing an ideal environment for all your groceries.
The headline feature is the "Micro-Freshness" technology. Xiaomi promotes that this innovation allows fresh meat to be stored for up to ten days at temperatures above 0°C, significantly reducing nutrient loss and preserving taste and texture better than conventional refrigeration. For households that value fresh ingredients, this is a potential game-changer.
Truly Smart Features That Go Beyond the Basics
Integration with the Mi Home app unlocks the full potential of this appliance. Users can:
- Remotely control temperatures for both fridge and freezer from anywhere.
- Activate the ice maker on command. The built-in, antibacterial ice maker is a premium touch for entertaining.
- Utilize the "Food Alarm Clock": This clever feature allows users to log items (via voice or text input) and receive smart reminders as expiration dates approach, dramatically cutting down on food waste.
Living with the fridge is designed to be peaceful and efficient. It operates at a whisper-quiet 31 dB(A) and has earned China’s Level 1 energy efficiency rating. Its sleek, space-saving design measures 892 x 600 x 1,912 mm, allowing it to fit into modern kitchen layouts. Buyers can choose from three elegant finishes: Ice Crystal White, Starry Silver, and Apricot Glass.
Xiaomi's Smart Home Ecosystem Continues to Expand
The launch of such a sophisticated appliance underscores Xiaomi's strategy of creating a comprehensive, interconnected smart home. In China, the Mijia ecosystem encompasses everything from air purifiers to rice cookers.
While the Mijia Refrigerator Pro has not yet been announced for the European market, Xiaomi continues to push its other smart home products in the region. For instance, European customers can already experience Xiaomi's automation prowess with devices like the Robot Vacuum X20 Pro, available on major retailers like Amazon.
