Add GIZMOCHINA as Preferred Source on Google
Xiaomi just dropped a new flagship range hood that’s basically trying to make kitchen smoke a non-issue. The Mijia Smart Range Hood 3 Max is their most capable smoke-handling appliance yet, and it’s built to suck up fumes fast while using AI to react in real time.
Pre-orders are already open in China. The regular price sits at 5,999 yuan (~€770), but with the national subsidy it drops to 4,599 yuan (~€590). Xiaomi is calling it Mijia’s top smoke-purifying model, and the numbers back that up. Compared with the previous generation you get 34.6% more wind speed, an 89% jump in static pressure, and noise intensity cut by 84%.
There’s a four-vortex cyclone that grabs smoke right at the source, a high-speed backward-tilting airflow for those heavy stir-fry moments, and an air curtain that tries to keep the fumes from floating up into your face. Top fan speed hits 17.5 m/s, the highest Mijia has recorded, powered by a 360 W motor and eight “hurricane” suction levels. Max static pressure is 1,700 Pa.
A constant air-volume algorithm senses how much resistance the flue is giving and adjusts automatically, so it should still work properly whether you’re on the 1st floor or the 67th.
The smart side is where it gets interesting. A 3MP camera paired with a VLA visual model (trained on more than 100,000 real cooking clips) checks the smoke situation every 0.1 seconds and can change speed within 0.6 seconds. Xiaomi claims over 98% accuracy.
There’s also AI anti-overflow protection: it watches for a pot that’s about to boil over, sounds an alarm, and can even tell a compatible Mi Home cooktop to cut the heat. It keeps an eye on gas and smoke around the clock, has a micron-level PM2.5 sensor with a three-color display, and can push alerts to your phone through the Mi Home app. If it senses you need ventilation, it can turn itself on.
Other practical bits: negative-ion sterilization that Xiaomi says removes 97% of PM2.5 and hits 98% sterilization rates, an oleophobic coating on the impeller plus a smart dry-cleaning mode that doesn’t require taking anything apart, and durability testing equal to 1,680 hours that supports their claim of strong suction lasting ten years. Noise control uses 17 different design tricks and lands at 59 dB(A) on high power.
It launches alongside the new Mijia Timer Gas Stove 3 Max, so Xiaomi is clearly pushing the whole smart-kitchen ecosystem. If you do a lot of high-heat cooking and hate lingering smells or constant filter cleaning, this looks like a big step up in what a connected range hood can do.
