Earlier, we tested two different Xiaomi shavers. The Mijah is a really designish shaver and the Xiaomi Youpin ES3 3D Smart Razor looks like a normale non xiaomi shaver. But now it’s time for a review on the Portable Mini Shaver from Xiaomi. As it’s name implies, the Xiaomi Mijia Portable Mini Shaver is a really small shaver with a USB port and a typical Xiaomi design. Is it as good as the rotating head versions?

Build Quality & Design
The design is typically Xiaomi. Simple, minimalistic and a good choice of materials. In my hand it feels solid, high quality and premium.
Portability / Mobility
This is the smallest electric shaver I know. And because it’s flat and compact, it’s really easy to take on a holiday, or in your car for when you are in a traffic jam :P. You can even leave it in your bag or backpack, which can be while on travel or for emergencies.
Testing the Mijia Portable Mini Shaver
Okay, the Xiaomi Mijia Portable Mini Shaver looks and feels nice, but more important is whether does it do the job? I don’t have a big beard, so I expected it would get the job done easily. However, when I used it on my chin I discovered that I need to do the area over and over again before it gets all the hairs. Leaving me to use my Mija 360 to make my skin look and feel clean and smoothly shaved again.
It’s easy to open and clean but I’m honest when i’m saying: spend a little extra and go for the Mija 360 shaver.

Summary
This product looks awesome but that is not good enough. I would spend a little bit more for a Xiaomi 360 shaver, than a good looking portable variant that took ages to shave myself.
Pros
- Small, compact portable product
- USB-C
- Used materials give it a premium look
Cons
- not suitable for a large beard.
- not that effective as the 360 shavers.
