Xiaomi has expanded its smart home lineup in China with a new 60-liter electric water heater aimed at households that want faster heating and app-based control in one appliance. The product, called the Mijia Smart Electric Water Heater C 60L, is already open for pre-order and is being positioned as a bathroom device that combines convenience, efficiency, and integration with Xiaomi’s connected ecosystem.
The new model is designed for users who need a steady supply of hot water without repeated reheating. Xiaomi says the unit can provide hot water flow for around 72 minutes, a claim that makes the heater stand out for family use rather than limited, short-duration bathing needs.
Large tank, strong heating output
As the name suggests, the Mijia Smart Electric Water Heater C 60L comes with a 60-liter tank. Xiaomi pairs that capacity with a 2,200W heating element, while the water temperature can be adjusted from 30 to 75 degrees Celsius.
According to the product listing, the heater can deliver up to 360 liters of hot water. That figure is intended to highlight how the device supports longer use before another heating cycle is needed.
For households, this combination of tank size and output is the core appeal. The product is not being sold only as a smart device, but also as a practical option for daily bathroom use where capacity matters just as much as connected features.
Connected to Xiaomi’s smart ecosystem
One of the key selling points is HyperOS Connect support. This allows the water heater to link with Xiaomi’s smart home ecosystem and be controlled remotely through the official app.
Through the app, users can switch the device on, monitor settings, and schedule heating based on daily routines. Xiaomi also adds voice control support, which makes the operation more convenient for users who prefer hands-free management.
The scheduling function is especially relevant for energy-conscious use. Water can be heated shortly before it is needed, reducing the need to keep the device running continuously without a clear purpose.
Energy-efficiency label on the listing
Xiaomi lists the Mijia Smart Electric Water Heater C 60L as a Class 1 energy-efficiency device under China’s standards. That detail matters because water heaters are among the home appliances that can draw significant power during regular use.
The efficiency label suggests that Xiaomi wants the product to be seen not only as a comfort upgrade, but also as a more economical choice over time. At the same time, the classification follows the standards used in the Chinese market, so it should be viewed in that context.
For consumers, the important point is that Xiaomi is trying to balance performance and operating cost in a single device. That positioning fits the broader trend of smart home appliances that aim to simplify daily routines while keeping energy use under control.
Physical size and market positioning
In terms of dimensions, the unit measures 740 x 461 x 432 mm. That size indicates a full household appliance built around a large tank, not a compact product intended for limited use.
The launch also broadens Xiaomi’s Mijia portfolio, which already includes a wide range of smart home products such as robot vacuums and other connected devices. Adding a smart water heater strengthens the company’s strategy of linking more household appliances into one ecosystem.
The more devices that can be managed through the same platform, the more practical Xiaomi’s ecosystem becomes for users. That approach helps the brand move beyond phones and IoT gadgets into everyday home equipment with recurring utility.
Price and availability
In China, the Mijia Smart Electric Water Heater C 60L is priced at CNY 999. It is currently still in the pre-order stage, so it has not yet reached wider retail availability.
For markets outside China, the outlook remains uncertain. According to Notebookcheck, the smart home device is unlikely to launch in Europe in the near term.
That leaves the product focused mainly on Xiaomi’s domestic market for now. With a 60-liter tank, 2,200W heating power, up to 72 minutes of hot water flow, app control, voice support, and a Class 1 efficiency label, the heater is clearly aimed at households that want both convenience and more practical energy management.
