Xiaomi has opened preorders for the Mi Home Central Air Conditioner Mega Energy Saving Pro, a central air-conditioning system designed for 30–40 square meter rooms and built to keep working in extreme temperatures from -35 °C to +65 °C.
The company is pitching the new model around energy efficiency. According to Xiaomi, the combination of its Mijia Lingyun intelligent module and an AI-based power-saving mode can cut electricity use by up to 30% compared with the previous generation.
The hardware includes a three-row evaporator, an enlarged two-row condenser with 18% more heat-exchange area than the previous model, a dual-cylinder compressor with a minimum operating frequency of 8 Hz, and a 556 mm fan.
Xiaomi lists the unit’s rated cooling capacity at 7,580 W and heating capacity at 10,000 W. In heating mode, it can operate at outdoor temperatures as low as -35 °C; in cooling mode, it can run at up to +65 °C.
The package includes a smart control panel that lets users manage climate settings across the home with one touch and tie the system into the Mijia ecosystem. Xiaomi says the built-in AI diagnostic system monitors more than 120 possible faults, including dirty heat exchangers, low refrigerant, and hardware failures, and alerts the owner when problems are detected.
