If you've been putting off buying a washer-dryer combo because the good ones seem too expensive, the Xiaomi Mijia Washer/Dryer 10.5kg might just change your mind. At RM1,499, this machine delivers features you'd normally find in appliances costing twice as much.

It's Bigger Than The Average
Generally, washer dryers are meant for smaller spaces, with capacity loads between 8kg - 10kg. That's why for the Mijia Washer Dryer, its standout feature is its capacity reaching the higher-end.
With 10.5kg washing and 7kg drying capabilities, you can handle a full week's worth of laundry in one go. For Malaysian families, this means fewer loads and lower electricity bills over time. The drum is genuinely spacious—you can toss in everything from bulky bedding to your entire family's weekly clothes without cramming.
Smart Features That Actually Matter
Don't let the "AI" label intimidate you. The Xiaomi Mijia keeps things refreshingly simple. On the machine itself, there's a sensor that automatically detects your load and picks suitable settings. You also do not need to learn complicated programming. Just load your clothes and let it do the thinking.
For those comfortable with apps, the Xiaomi Home app adds convenient extras. You can enjoy even more flexibility such as starting your laundry when you're travelling from the office, schedule cycles to finish right when you get home, or set reminders so you don't leave damp clothes sitting overnight. Its optional connectivity adds value without being the essential.
32 Wash Modes — For Every Type of Laundry Use-Case
This machine offers an astounding 32 different washing modes, which sounds overwhelming but breaks down into logical categories. You can choose from the likes of quick wash-and-dry cycles for when you're in a hurry, delicate settings for your nicer clothes, specialized baby mode for sensitive skin items, and bedding programs for larger items. The steam wash function deserves special mention—it's perfect for gym clothes that need deep cleaning or bed sheets that could use sanitizing, particularly useful in Malaysia's humid climate.
You won't use all 32 modes regularly, but it's nice knowing the options exist for specific needs. Most families will settle into a routine with five or six favorite cycles.
The Apartment-Friendly Advantage
Malaysian apartment dwellers will appreciate how quiet this machine runs. Instead of the aggressive rumbling many washers make, the Mijia produces a distant hum that won't disturb neighbors or disrupt your Netflix time. When the cycle finishes, it plays a pleasant musical chime rather than an annoying beep—a small touch that makes a difference when you're living in close quarters.
Here Comes a Minor Inconvenience
At this price point, you're getting exceptional value, but there are trade-offs. The drying capacity at 7kg means you can't dry everything you wash in one go if you've maxed out the 10.5kg wash load. You'll need to split large loads for drying, which adds time. The extensive mode selection, while comprehensive, requires some experimentation to fully utilize—expect to spend your first few weeks figuring out which settings work best for your specific needs.

Who's This For?
For RM1,499, the Xiaomi Mijia Washer/Dryer 10.5kg delivers remarkable value. You're getting a legitimate washer-dryer combo with smart features, steam cleaning, generous capacity, and whisper-quiet operation—all for less than many standalone washing machines cost.
This isn't the fanciest appliance on the market, but it's exactly what most Malaysian households need: reliable, spacious, quiet, and genuinely affordable. The smart features feel practical rather than gimmicky, and the build quality seems solid for the price bracket.
