The Mijia Air Conditioner GentleAir 7.0 kW is the biggest of four GentleAir models from Mijia, Xiaomi’s home appliance brand. The others are 2.6, 3.5 and 5.2 kW. It is a reversible full DC inverter unit, rated at 24,000 BTU and recommended for rooms of 50 to 70 m². In Spain it tops Mijia’s range, above the older Eco and Pro Eco lines. The sources never state the body type. A 118 mm cross-flow fan usually means a wall-mounted split, but confirm that before you publish. The GentleAir name comes from its microperforated vanes, which split the airflow into thinner streams and slow the wind.
There is no battery, so here are the power figures instead. Capacity is 7,200 W cooling and 7,000 W heating, with a power draw of 2,482 W cooling and 1,885 W heating. It needs 220-240 V single-phase 50 Hz mains and can run on 165-265 V in extreme conditions, though that shortens its life. The 118 mm cross-flow fan has a Turbo mode that reaches 1,100 m³/h. Xiaomi says it cools in 30 seconds and heats in 60. Indoor noise is 48 dB(A) on high, 45 on medium and 29 on sleep. The outdoor unit is 57 dB(A). Airflow has three modes. Halo Flow avoids direct blowing, Canopy Flow cools from above, and Carpet Flow pushes warm air up from the floor when heating. Xiaomi’s efficiency claim varies by source: the global product page says up to 21.9% lower energy use in AI mode, and launch coverage said 24.5%. The unit connects to Xiaomi Home over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only.
In Spain the range runs from €569 for the 2.6 kW model to €1,199 for the 7.0 kW. I found no official price for other regions, so add regional figures once Xiaomi lists them. It suits anyone with a large living room or open-plan space of 50 to 70 m² who wants one reversible inverter unit with app control. In-brand, the GentleAir 5.2 kW is the next size down, recommended for 40 to 55 m². The Eco and Pro Eco lines are the other Mijia options. Rivals in the same capacity class include the Samsung WindFree Elite and the Midea Xtreme Save. The closest direct comparison is the Daikin Perfera 7.1 kW. I chose those three from general market knowledge, not from my search results, so check their specs and prices first.
