Cleaning those tricky, out-of-the-way spots in your home—from ceiling corners to window blinds—often feels like a chore within a chore. Xiaomi’s latest home innovation aims to change that. The company has just launched the Mijia Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner in China, pitching it as an “agile” solution designed to make overhead and detailed cleaning less of a strain.
Engineered for Ease and Agility
The standout feature of this new cleaner is its focus on portability. Xiaomi highlights how its light body allows users to easily lift it overhead, transforming the tedious task of dusting blinds or reaching room corners into a simpler one-handed operation. This design targets a common pain point in home cleaning, offering a practical alternative to heavier, more cumbersome models.
Power Packed in a Lightweight Frame
Don’t let the light build fool you; Xiaomi promises serious suction. The Mijia Lightweight Vacuum is driven by a 110,000 rpm motor that generates up to 22,000 Pascals of suction power (approximately 50 air watts). It comes with a two-brush system for versatility:
- A primary stick brush with a wide 250 mm (~9.8 inch) cleaning path for floors.
- A compact crevice tool for tight spaces like sofa gaps or car interiors.
The weight changes depending on the attachment. With the smaller tool, it's a mere 860 grams (~30.3 oz), and with the larger floor brush, it totals 1.42 kg (~50.1 oz).
Filtration, Battery, and Practical Details
Xiaomi has equipped the cleaner with a five-stage filtration system, which it claims captures 99.9% of dust and particles as small as 0.3 micrometers. The 200 ml dustbin is paired with washable filter components, promoting easier maintenance and long-term use.
Power comes from four built-in 2,000 mAh lithium-ion batteries. Users can expect up to 40 minutes of runtime in eco mode or about 10 minutes at maximum suction intensity. Notably, the vacuum does not include a charging dock. Instead, it recharges via a USB-C cable, adding to its minimalist and travel-friendly design.
Pricing and Market Availability
The Mijia Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner is launching in China with a price tag of CNY 359 (approximately $51). As of now, Xiaomi has not announced any official plans for a global release of this specific model.
For customers in other regions, Xiaomi has been expanding its cleaning appliance lineup with different models. For instance, the company recently launched the Xiaomi Truclean W30 Pro Wet Dry Vacuum in several European markets, including Germany. This more robust model is designed for heavy-duty wet and dry pick-up and represents a different segment of the market.

The Bottom Line
The Mijia Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner appears to be Xiaomi’s answer to quick, convenient, and above-all-else easy cleaning sessions. By prioritizing a featherlight design without completely sacrificing power, it targets urban dwellers and those looking for a supplementary cleaner for daily touch-ups. While its China-only launch may disappoint international fans for now, it signals Xiaomi's continued investment in refining everyday home tools. For those awaiting a global release, it's worth keeping an eye on official Mi channels for future updates.
