The Xiaomi Mijia Lint Remover is a rechargeable fabric shaver that cuts pills and fuzz balls off knitwear, coats, scarves and sofa cushions, then pulls them into a see-through lint compartment. A five-blade floating head works behind a 0.35 mm reinforced steel mesh, a 1300mAh battery runs for up to 180 minutes on a full charge, and it charges over USB-C. At 213 g it is light enough to keep in a wardrobe drawer and pick up whenever a favourite jumper starts to look tired.

How the Xiaomi Mijia Lint Remover Works
Pilling happens when loose fibres on the surface of a fabric tangle into small balls, usually where the fabric rubs: under the arms, on cuffs, on the seat of trousers and on cushion covers. A lint remover does not repair the fabric; it trims those balls off at the surface so the garment looks smooth and clean again. The Xiaomi Mijia Lint Remover does this with a five-leaf floating blade head behind a perforated steel mesh, so only the raised pills reach the blades.
Xiaomi pairs the blades with dual-layer negative-pressure centrifugal fan blades and a high-torque motor. The suction pulls the cut lint through a P-shaped air vent into a separate compartment, which Xiaomi says prevents clogging and backflow. In practice that means lint from a dark coat is not blown back onto the light jumper you treat next.
Xiaomi Mijia Lint Remover: 0.35 mm Mesh, Five Blades
The mesh decides whether a fabric shaver is safe on a good sweater. Xiaomi uses a 0.35 mm reinforced steel mesh, with a tolerance of about 0.01 mm, and says it resists deforming, so the blades stay behind it instead of pressing into the knit. The hole pattern is designed to catch pills of different sizes in a single pass.
Xiaomi lists collars, sleeves, hems, scarves, hats, socks, knitwear, coats, trousers, soft toys, bedding and cushions as suitable. Keep the head level on the fabric, use light pressure and work in small circles; pressing hard on a thin knit is the quickest way to thin it out.
Battery Life: Up to 180 Minutes
Inside is a 1300mAh lithium battery. Xiaomi quotes up to 180 minutes of use from a full charge, which takes about 2 hours, and around 90 minutes of use from a 1-hour charge; these figures come from Koala Mama Lab testing quoted by Xiaomi. Assuming 3 to 6 minutes per item, Xiaomi estimates that a full charge covers more than 30 pieces of clothing.
Charging runs through a USB-C port at 5 V and 1 A, and the cable is in the box. The Xiaomi Mijia Lint Remover does not run while it is plugged in, because Xiaomi stops the motor during charging, so charge it first and use it afterwards. A small hidden indicator light shows the charging status.
Safety and Cleaning
Two safety switches cut the power as soon as you remove the shaving head or the lint compartment, so the blades cannot spin while your fingers are near them. The compartment has a viewing panel, so you can see when it is full, and it pulls off to be emptied straight into a bin.
To clean it, switch it off, remove the lint compartment and use the long brush in the box to clear lint from the blades and the air path. Wipe the body with a dry cloth only, since Xiaomi states the device is not waterproof. The blade assembly comes out after unscrewing the blade cover, but Xiaomi notes it is not currently sold separately and that cutting heads from other brands do not fit.
Who This Is Not For
Xiaomi does not recommend the Xiaomi Mijia Lint Remover on down jackets, lace, or garments with uneven surfaces such as rivets, studs or plastic trims, where the mesh can catch. It is also a poor match for very loose, open knits, where the blades can pull at the loops instead of trimming pills.
It cannot be used while charging, so an empty battery means waiting. It is not waterproof, so it cannot be rinsed under the tap. And because replacement blades are not currently sold separately, the cutting head is meant to last the life of the device rather than be swapped like a shaver foil.
