Xiaomi is steadily expanding its presence in Europe’s home appliance market, and its latest move brings a connected washer-dryer combo to the UK.

The Xiaomi Mijia Front Load Washer Dryer Pro 9kg is now available for £599. The machine has been rolling out across parts of Europe since late last year, and it’s already been spotted in markets like Germany and France at slightly lower prices. Now it’s officially landed in the UK as well.

At its core, this is a 9kg front-load washer that also handles drying, aimed at people who don’t have space (or patience) for separate machines. It supports a range of programs, including a 36-minute Smart Wash and a shorter 12-minute cycle for lighter loads. Xiaomi also claims it can wash and dry 3kg of laundry in around three hours. That’s not lightning-fast, but for a combo unit, it’s reasonable.

Steam cleaning is part of the package too. The company says it can eliminate up to 99.99% of bacteria, which is increasingly becoming a standard claim in this category. The machine carries a Class A energy rating and is said to be more efficient than the minimum requirement for that tier.

Where Xiaomi really leans in is the smart functionality. Through the Xiaomi Home app, users can start or pause cycles remotely, check remaining time, schedule washes, and even receive firmware updates.

There’s also automatic detergent dosing for up to two products. The machine adjusts the amount based on the selected program and load size.

One detail that stands out is the self-cleaning system. Washer-dryer combos are known for collecting lint and residue over time, and maintenance can be a chore. Xiaomi says this model uses high-pressure water to rinse parts of the drying system and periodically cleans the drum and detergent drawer at high temperatures. In theory, that means less manual upkeep.

At £599, it’s not exactly entry-level, but it’s competitive for a smart washer-dryer with these features. For households already invested in Xiaomi’s ecosystem, it makes a certain kind of sense.
