Xiaomi Launches Automatic Soap Dispenser With Classic Yellow Rubber Duck Design

Aug. 5, 2019

After launching a number of automatic soap dispensers in China over the past few years, Xiaomi’s subsidiary brand, Mijia, has now expanded its portfolio in the admittedly niche segment by unveiling a new product that functions not too differently from the earlier models, but has a much more fun design. As can be seen from the images posted over the weekend by Ice Universe(@Universeice), it’s designed to resemble a toy duck whose beak acts as the nozzle that releases the soap.

Unlike the new device, though, the earlier models have modern industrial designs with clean lines and compact form factors, making them ideal for standard bathrooms. The latter actually also won a‘Good Design’award in China. All the devices work with standard foaming soaps or liquid soaps, which means they don’t need any specific brand of soap to function as advertised.

As for the all-new device, there’s no word on its pricing for now, but given that the earlier models are priced at around the $30 mark, it won’t be too much of a stretch to expect it to be priced at similar levels. It will also be interesting to see if it will ever come to India, but given that its predecessors are yet to make it to the country, it would be for the best if we didn’t bet on it.
