T3 has reported (as we speculated a while ago) that Xiaomi will be launching more, larger products, in the UK and Europe and this is set to include large appliances such as fridge freezers and washing machines.
Apart from some robot vacs the most interesting thing for us is that Xiaomi are set to make the Cross Door fridge freezer (est £740) and Washer Dryer Pro (£505) avaialble in the UK. We don’t know when they will get here but, it’s said that they are coming for sure. Though we have learned they are already avaialble in some regiions of Europe so it probably won’t be long till we see them here.
The features on offer for the money are impressive, with smart home integration through the Mii app, Amazon Alexa as well because, Xioami are also one of the leaders in home automation devices and have a history in that field.
That pricing is also very competitive and falls in line with how Xioami approaches pricing, they wil often undercut the competition. It will give some people sleepless mights we reckon whe you consider what’s on offer at the prices mooted.
We suspect that this is just the start, more will follow in time once the company gets a toehold in the EU/UK markets.
