Anyone without a tumble dryer knows how a rainy week goes. Wet laundry hangs around the living room for days and still smells damp. Xiaomi’s Mijia Smart Clothes Dryer 2 Pro takes a different approach: a motorized clothesline hidden in the ceiling that doubles as a lamp. It’s one of the more useful Mijia gadgets I’ve come across, but it’s only sold in China for now.
How it works
The 2 Pro looks like a curved ceiling light. Press a button, use the Mijia app, or ask Xiao AI, and a rack lowers from a slim recessed body. You hang your clothes, send it back up, and the laundry dries near the ceiling, where it’s out of the way. When the clothes come down, the rack folds up and the fixture is just a lamp again.
To be clear, the light doesn’t dry anything. It’s an ordinary LED lamp, and the clothes dry by air. The ceiling position helps because damp air from the laundry doesn’t settle around you, and you don’t need a space heater, which can damage fabric if it blows hot air straight at it.
The light
The lamp has 120 full-spectrum LEDs, and you can set the color from cool white to warm yellow. One report, citing Gizmochina, puts it at up to 2,200 lumens with a CRI of 97, which is bright enough to be the main light in a room. I couldn’t confirm those figures on Xiaomi’s own page.

Mijia Smart Clothes Dryer 2 Pro Price and availability
The dryer launched in China in July 2025 at 1,699 yuan (about €227), against a list price of 1,799 yuan. You can buy it on JD.com and other Chinese platforms. It’s currently listed at 831 yuan, about €111, so check the price again before you publish.
Xiaomi hasn’t said anything about a European release. That’s a pity. I don’t have space for a tumble dryer, and a washer-dryer combo is well out of my budget, so at €111 I’d order one right away.
