Hardware Specs

The Mi Vacuum Cleaner Light features a 3-level filtration (HEPA, Cotton and Cyclone) system and pushes a maximum of 50 air watts suction power from its 100,000rpm brushless motor. As a comparison, the RM1,099 Mi Vacuum Cleaner G10 has a 125,000rpm motor that boasts a maximum of 150 air watts suction power.

The vacuum cleaner offers two suction power modes (20 or 50 air watts) and there’s a finger-release option which allows the vacuum to stay on without pressing on the button.

On a single charge, it can last up to 45 minutes and a full charge will take 5.5 hours. With the highest power output, the vacuum has a rated runtime of 13 minutes. According to the spec-sheet, the main body weighs 1.2kg which is said to be lighter than 3 bottles of water.

The vacuum also features a detachable and washable dustbin which can be emptied after pulling out the extension rod and removing both HEPA and cyclone filter. The kit comes with an extension rod, a crevice nozzle, a brush nozzle and a floor brush.
