Xiaomi has announced the upcoming release of the Mijia Shoe Washer 3KG, which will start crowdfunding on November 2 at 10 a.m. through the Youpin platform. The device’s retail price is set at 1,299 RMB (about $180), with the crowdfunding price starting from 799 RMB (about $110).
The shoe washer features a white design consistent with Xiaomi’s Mijia series and occupies 0.18 square meters, making it suitable for balconies or laundry rooms. It uses a high-speed pulsator to create a 3D water flow that thoroughly cleans shoe surfaces, outsoles, and inner linings, effectively removing common stains like mud, grass, and sweat.
It supports various types of footwear, including sports shoes, casual shoes, children’s shoes, canvas shoes, board shoes, and sports sandals. The machine can wash 2 to 4 pairs at a time with simple operation—users only need to open the lid and press one button to start cleaning.
The Mijia Shoe Washer offers eight washing modes: standard, strong, quick, sterilization, multi-purpose, rinse + spin, spin-only, and drum cleaning. It also supports a 24-hour appointment feature and a 20-minute fast wash that cleans without removing shoelaces.
For hygiene, the machine provides dual sterilization and bacteria suppression. Test results show it removes 99% of red dermatophytes, 99.8% of E. coli, and 99.6% of Staphylococcus aureus, while inhibiting 99.99% growth of E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. A health drum self-cleaning program prevents secondary pollution from sediment buildup. Users interested in the shoe washer can monitor the crowdfunding and update status through Xiaomi’s Youpin or related platforms. Availability is currently confirmed only in China.
