It’s no secret that Xiaomi makes a lot of cool gadgets, and while you might have seen a lot of our videos on cool Xiaomi gadgets, the company also makes some stuff that’s meant for car users. Well, we got a lot of these gadgets from China, and I’ve used them quite a bit in the last couple of weeks, and honestly, I’ve started loving them. So here are 5 of my favorite car gadgets from Xiaomi.
This is a gadget I personally fell in love with almost as soon as I started using it. The Xiaomi Wireless Charger nails everything there is to consider about a wireless car charger. The design is great, the build is top-notch, it uses USB Type-C, it supports 20W fast wireless charging, and it has sensors built in to automatically open and close the clamps when your phone is near the charger, or when you’re trying to take the phone out of the charger.

If you’re anything like me, chances are you snack in your car, which is all good but it does end up making a mess inside the car. Add to that all the dirt and mud you track into your car with your shoes everyday, and it’s just sad. That’s where having a vacuum cleaner can come in really handy, and you guessed it, Xiaomi makes that as well.

This is a gadget that was a mystery to almost every one at the Beebom office when we first got this shipped. It looks great, so naturally every one kept looking at it and guessing what it could be. Personally, I thought it could’ve been a smart speaker because of the speaker-like grilles on the sides, or maybe a walkie-talkie (Xiaomi does make those, by the way). However, this is just a really cool looking tyre inflator.
The only things I really have to complain about here are that it takes way too long to fill up a tyre, which can quickly get annoying, and the microUSB charging port it uses. I mean, seriously. Why microUSB? It makes no sense. Other than that though, this is a great tyre inflator that you should definitely consider buying.
This particular product is something I started using because it solves a very particular problem for me. See, sometimes I’m driving with my friends and everyone needs to charge their phones, which means people end up arguing over who gets to plug their phone in to the car-charger.
There’s also the Xiaomi Dashcam 1S, which honestly, is a fairly cool gadget, but there are some issues here that I just can’t get past. I’ll talk about that later.
However, there are other problems here as well, big ones. First up, it also uses microUSB for power which is just stupid. But, the bigger issue is that of the wiring, because you need to somehow route the power cable all the way along the side of the car, tape it under the dashboard, and route it properly to the car-charger to power it up, or otherwise it will just dangle around and look really bad. That’s the reason I’m not willing to use this Dashcam.
