UK Sentinel.Xiaomi has unveiled a new washing machine featuring an innovative cleaning technology that could signal the next step in laundry appliance design.
The new Mijia Washing Machine Pro Super Electrolytic Smart Drum 10kg, currently launching in China, uses a small electrical current to partially split water into reactive cleaning agents. Xiaomi says this electrolysis process helps improve stain removal, eliminate bacteria, brighten fabrics and reduce odours, while potentially reducing the amount of detergent needed for everyday washes.
Unlike traditional washing machines that rely almost entirely on detergent and water, Xiaomi’s system generates active oxygen compounds during the wash cycle to provide an additional layer of cleaning and hygiene. While detergent is still required for heavily soiled clothing, the technology is designed to enhance cleaning performance, particularly at lower wash temperatures.
The 10kg machine also includes intelligent detergent dosing, a 36-minute deep-clean programme, a 12-minute quick wash mode and support for Xiaomi’s HyperOS smart home ecosystem. It is currently priced at around 2,699 yuan (approximately £275–£290), although there is no indication yet that it will be released in the UK or Europe.
Electrolysis itself isn’t a new concept, it has long been used in water treatment and commercial cleaning but its introduction into a mainstream consumer washing machine is an interesting development. If the technology proves effective in independent testing, it could encourage other manufacturers such as LG, Samsung, Bosch and Miele to explore similar approaches in future appliances.
