Xiaomi has launched the new Mijia Smart Range Hood 3 (European Style) in China. Now available for pre-order through Xiaomi Youpin, the kitchen chimney is priced at 1,499 yuan (~ $220).
The new range hood comes with a high-speed fan that can reach up to 2,200 rpm and can move up to 25 cubic meters of air per minute, which Xiaomi says is 9% higher than the previous generation. The hood also supports a maximum static pressure of 1,080Pa.
The high static pressure can be useful in high-rise buildings, where shared exhaust pipes can create more resistance. This can sometimes cause smoke to flow back into the kitchen. Xiaomi has added a cruise boost algorithm that can detect the resistance in the building’s shared exhaust pipe. It then adjusts the air volume and pressure automatically to maintain better airflow.
The range hood also has a new DC inverter motor that has been tested for the equivalent of 5,000 hours of use.
Lower smoke inlet, gesture control and smart features
Xiaomi has also used a side-mounted design for the new range hood. The company previously used a similar layout on the Mijia Smart Flat Embedded Side Suction Range Hood S1.
The smoke inlet on the new model sits 131mm lower than the inlet on a typical European-style range hood. This puts it closer to the cooking area, allowing it to capture smoke before it spreads around the kitchen.
The Mijia Smart Range Hood 3 also supports hands-free controls. Users can wave their hand near the hood to turn it on or off or change the fan speed. The hood can also connect to the Xiaomi Home app through Xiaomi’s HyperOS Connect platform.
Another useful feature is stove-hood linkage. When the connected stove is turned on, the range hood can automatically start. Once the stove is turned off, the hood continues running for a short time to remove remaining smoke and fumes before shutting down.
Xiaomi has also added a dry cleaning mode to the range hood. In this mode, the impeller spins at high speed to help remove built-up oil and grease.
