Of all the smart home tech that I’ve reviewed, this might be the most underrated upgrade of them all because this Xiaomi Mijia Air Conditioner Pro Eco, it’s surprisingly affordable and ridiculously efficient. And yes, it even cools in just 30 seconds! So here’s why this isn’t just another AC.
Why Smart AC?
Now, your AC could be silently draining your wallet because not all 5-star ratings are built the same. So, I used to think that energy saving just meant turning it on and off often. But that approach cost more long-term.
Next, just imagine if you could control your AC even before getting home. Now, you may also wonder, can’t I just use an IR controller device like those from Sensibo or even Broadlink RM Pro IR blasters? Well, guess what? I’ve already tested those in my dedicated smart home videos.
And long story short, those IR blasters were super unreliable. It doesn’t sync with your AC as often, and if there’s a wall or anything blocking it, good luck getting that to work because it’s like playing peekaboo with your air con.
But before talking about how it can help you with that, let’s talk about the air conditoner itself.
Energy Efficiency
Now, I’ll start by talking about the energy efficiency first because this is a 5-star rated AC. Now, if you go with the 1.0 HP inverter, it gets a Cooling Seasonal Performance Factor or CSPF of 5.97, and the 1.5 HP still has a CSPF of 5.67.
In case you didn’t know, that CSPF is calculated by dividing the Cooling Seasonal Total Load by the Cooling Seasonal Energy Consumption, which is basically a fancy way of saying how much cool air can you get without your electricity meter going fully berserk. So, a higher CSPF means lower electricity bills. Here’s where this air conditioner also beats the rest of not draining your wallet. So, not only are you staying cool but also saving money.
And how and why this happens is because of the Mijia AI Energy Saving Mode, as it constantly learns from your environment to deliver stable and accurate cooling. So, it’s not some random Eco mode that keeps it off and on randomly. So, it cools more efficiently without flipping the switch on and off, like that one friend or two friends of yours who turns up only when they needs money and then turns off when you don’t give them money.
All of these are also cloud-based too. So, it’s literally getting smarter while you even sleep.
Fast Cooling & Soft Breeze
But how fast does it cool? Well, as mentioned earlier, 30 seconds fast cooling! Now, this is thanks to the custom-designed 106mm large diameter impeller. So, you’ll get an instant blast of cool air as soon as you turn it on.
If you want that open-the-freezer-door kind of blast (not exactly, but close), just hit the Turbo Mode! It’s like giving your AC an espresso shot!
But while it cools quickly, it doesn’t just blow air like a jet engine at your face because it has 14 swing blades with 602 round micro-holes. So, that is what softens the airflow, and this makes it perfect even for infants, the older people, or anyone who hates those harsh AC winds.
Smart Features
All right, let’s talk about the smart features. Now, just like every other appliance out there, you can control it via the Xiaomi Home app.
So, for a convenient scenario, you can do things like turning the AC on before you reach home, and customize sleep temperatures. On top of that, it also tracks the performance, dirt levels, and more.
It even has an AI-powered favorite mode that learns your preference and adapts to real-time environmental data, once again making this AC smarter than others.
Plus, it also supports Xiaomi’s HyperOS Connect. So, if you’re within the Xiaomi ecosystem, it adds seamlessly into the ecosystem together with your other smart appliances as well.
As mentioned, because it has OTA updates, so the AC actually gets smarter over time. So, you won’t feel like it’s outdated at any point in time as it constantly adapts to any sort of an environmental change. So, it learns, adapts, and evolves just like a Pokémon, just quieter.
But here’s a part that gives you better peace of mind because it comes with a 3-year general warranty and a massive 10 years of compressor warranty, one of the highest in the market today.
But the good news is that you don’t even have to keep waiting for any external services because it also has auto self-cleaning where it frosts, melts, and also rinses out the moisture internally.
So, maintenance is kept at the minimum. And if you forget to clean your filter, don’t worry because the Xiaomi Home app also will remind you.
Pricing & Availability
So, if you’re thinking of getting one, especially if you are from Malaysia, it is priced at only RM1,899 for the 1.0 HP inverter and just RM2,199 for the 1.5 HP inverter model.
But as usual, Xiaomi has always been giving some great offers concurrently. So, be sure to check the links down below for the updated price and the promo as well. And yes, delivery and installation are included too.
So, to answer the question, can an AC be your favorite smart home device? Well, with the Xiaomi Mijia Air Conditioner Pro Eco, it totally can because it cools fast, runs fast, and saves you money.
So, that is a “wind” (WIN) for me!
