A few days after launching the European-style Smart Hood 3, Xiaomi announced a new Mijia Smart Range Hood 3 Dual Suction in China today.
Unlike the European model, the cooktop hood has both top-and-side dual-suction layout. The side suction pulls smoke directly off the pan while you’re cooking, while the top has a 24-inch rectifier plate to handle smoke spreading out across a wider area.
The Range Hood has a DC inverter motor and a widened impeller, giving it a peak airflow of 30 m³/min for stir-frying, dropping to 16 m³/min on lower settings. There’s also an AI cruise mode that checks wind resistance in the shared exhaust duct and adjusts itself, up to a maximum static pressure of 1400 Pa. It is meant to handle apartment buildings specifically, where smoke can get pushed back into the kitchen depending on which floor you’re on.
It is priced at 2469 yuan (around $345).
Xiaomi Mijia Smart Range Hood 3 Dual Suction Specifications
The hood has a space gray metal body and measures 895 x 375 x 887 mm, weighing 27.0 kg. At 375 mm deep, Xiaomi says it can sit flush with most kitchen cabinets. The front panel uses nano-oil-resistant glass, so you can wipe off grease and oil stains without much effort.
The range hood also works with a matching cooktop via stove-hood linkage. That is, turn the stove on, and the hood switches on itself. On the control panel, Xiaomi has added air gesture sensing, so you can turn the hood on or off, or change the fan speed, by waving your hand near it instead of touching it with oily fingers.
For noise, Xiaomi says it worked on four different parts of the hood: reducing noise at the motor itself, rounding out the volute shape, widening the impeller by 24%, and adding a double layer of sound-absorbing cotton.
All this effort, according to Xiaomi, brought noise down to 58 dB(A). The impeller also has an oleophobic coating and a self-cleaning dry mode, so it spins at high speed periodically to strip off built-up grease.
This isn’t the first side-suction hood Xiaomi has put out either. The Mijia Smart Range Hood 3C, launched earlier this year, offered similar gesture controls and cooktop linkage at a lower 24 m³/min suction rating. The Range Hood 3 pushes that formula a bit further with more airflow and a lower noise ceiling.
