Xiaomi launches new vacuum and mop robot with three edge-cleaning arms

What happened

Xiaomi has announced a new robot vacuum plus mop in China, called the Mijia Robot Vacuum and Mop 7 Max. The model succeeds the Robot Vacuum 6 Max Xiaomi announced last year and comes in two versions: a water tank model, and a slim model with top and bottom water supply. Xiaomi is a consumer electronics and home appliance company based in Beijing.

Meanwhile, the 6 Max launched at 6,599 yuan (~$986.08 USD) for the water tank version and 6,999 yuan (~$1,045.85 USD) for the water supply and drainage version. The 6 Max was the most expensive model, but somehow its successor costs less at launch.

The water tank version costs 4,999 yuan (~$747.00 USD), and the slim version costs 5,299 yuan (~$791.82 USD). This puts the 7 Max about 1,600 to 1,700 yuan (~$239.09 to ~$254.03 USD) below the official prices of the model it replaces.
