Emir BardakçıXiaomi is not slowing down in its quest to create the largest lifestyle ecosystem. This is because the company has just launched a new product targeting those who consider their “me-time.” This is the Mijia Smart Airbag Foot Bath 2 Pro Lifting Edition Gift Box, which has been launched in the Chinese market.
Foldable foot baths have long caught my attention, but what’s remarkable about this particular offering from Xiaomi is that it has eliminated the concept of ‘clunkiness’ that’s normally associated with health technology. This is because the brand has coupled the automatic lifting system with Xiaomi HyperOS connectivity.
TL;DR
- Automatic Lifting: Comes with an electric double helix design that can extend up to 35cm and retract up to 18cm with ease when storing.
- Advanced Massage: This model makes use of airbags that encompass the feet, in addition to a three-section sole massage technology.
- Hygiene First: The UV sterilization lamp and the seamless TPE pad ensure that bacteria do not grow.
- Smart Features: Operable through the Mi Home App with 10 modes and adjustable temperature options.
Can Foot Bathing Really Be “Smart”?
When we speak of smart home technology, we usually think of lights and cameras, but the latest Xiaomi product shows that even the process of soaking your feet is improved by Xiaomi HyperConnect. This Mijia Smart Airbag Foot Bath 2 Pro is fully compatible with your smartphone and enables the control of ten different massage modes.
You can set your desired temperature range between 35-48°C and program your sessions to last between 5 to 60 minutes. And if you have your own routine that you simply can’t get enough of, the app allows you to have four customizable schemes.
Space-Saving Design Meets High-End Engineering
The most impressive part of this design is the electric double helix lifting structure. Unlike most models that need you to push or pull in order for them to deploy, this model deploys and retracts at the mere touch of a button.
When it’s fully extended, it measures 35cm in depth, ensuring that your calf muscles get ample coverage. To pack it away after use, it goes back to 18cm, compact enough to fit inside an sofa or in the corner of your room.
A Gift Box Made for Relaxation
The Mijia Smart Airbag Foot Bath 2 Pro is not sold individually as a product. This release is actually a complete Gift Box. It is priced around $165 (1189.15 CNY). This product is released exclusive to China.
Inside the box, customers can expect to see the foot bath container, a set of foot bath herbs, as well as a heating blanket. This makes this product a great combination for those chilly winter nights or as a gift for health-obsessed family members.
Hygiene and Safety at the Forefront
One area where we are very impressed with the system is the concern for cleanliness. The system has UV sterilization lamps integrated into the tubing inside the system. This ensures that the water that flows through the system is clean and that there is no bacterial growth in areas where it may be difficult to reach.
Moreover, the TPE foot massage pad is skin-friendly and covers the massage discs fully. This helps in preventing any irritation of the skin and allows easy removal of any dirt that may be trapped between the moving parts.
What’s Next for Mijia Health Tech?
As Xiaomi continues to improve its Xiaomi HyperOS ecosystem, we are sure to see even more tie-ins between your personal health information and home appliances. Just imagine your Xiaomi Band 10 sensing that your stress levels are high, then automatically turning on the pre-heater for your foot bath before you even enter the house. Although this particular product line has been thus far exclusively available on the Chinese market, most “Pro” lifestyle products eventually appear on Global markets with different trademarks. For the time being, it remains the gold standard with regard to what a smart home spa should ideally resemble.
