Xiaomi has added a new retractable coat rack, ideal for placing in small spaces such as a balcony, storage room or engine room. The best of all? It has a support capacity of up to 35 kg of clothing, as well as being very discreet.
The product was folded by Xiaomi by MIJIA Pro Smart Clothes Dryer and when not in use, it can be compacted and stored neatly on the ceiling. It is the latest product and home appliance announcement after MIKIA smart clothes dryer and MIJIA kitchen machine.
Xiaomi’s solution allows you to dry your clothes without getting in the way
As its name suggests, Xiaomi MIJIA Smart Clothes Dryer Pro comes as an improvement over the MIJIA Smart Clothes Dryer and MIJIA Clothes Dryer products that came before it. For this, it has a finer and more discreet structure that allows a hidden installation.
That is, this dryer, or vertical clothesline, can be installed on the ceiling, functioning as an LED light, as an LED lamp when necessary, without revealing its “true” character. That is, you can even install this solution in the living room and no one will notice the difference unless you show it to them.
Concealed Installation for MIJIA Smart Clothes Dryer Pro
The clothesline can be hidden after use, in the ceiling, leaving a single light in sight. Since it is fully retractable, the clothesline frame itself is out of sight, proving to be truly compact.
In practice, we have a thickness of 9.8 cm for the entire structure when it is retracted. That is to say, relatively thin and, from the outside, you will hardly notice that this Xiaomi product is more than just an LED lighting solution, a function that it also fulfills.
LED lighting is guaranteed by Xiaomi MIJIA Smart Clothes Dryer Pro
Control is done through the MIJIA app. From the application it is possible to control the brightness of this LED light strip, as well as the color temperature. In addition, we can adjust the brightness in several incremental steps for precise control according to the needs of the user and the space.
Taking into account the clothesline itself, it has 4 horizontal rods and 42 places to place a garment, vertically. In addition, the extension of the drying bar/drying rack can be adjusted and telescopically lowered up to 1.1 m.
It should be noted that this vertical adjustment -the one above and/or the one below- of the clothesline is mediated by the electric motor of the Xiaomi clothesline. It is, according to the brand, extremely durable and quiet, with good materials used in the motor and gears.
MIJIA Smart Clothes Dryer Pro is the newest member of the Xiaomi ecosystem
The product is currently in the development phase. fundraising in its home market, China, where it costs from €174 at the current exchange rate. More specifically, it costs 1,199 yuan – special launch price – and should later reach the Chinese market for 1,299 yuan.
In short, it is a really ingenious solution, ideal for homes with little space. As it can be “masked” as an LED lighting solution, the vertical clothesline goes more unnoticed and yet it fulfills its function.
It has a good load-bearing capacity and several holes on the side to place the hangers and dry different clothes. However, at the moment there is no indication of a possible availability in Europe.
