Renovating your kitchen but stuck because your home isn’t ducted to the outside? Hindware Home Innovation Limited just solved that exact headache. Their new Tablet Plug N Play range is a convertible chimney that works straight out of the box in ductless mode, and can switch to full ducted extraction whenever you’re ready — no compromise required.

The Problem This Chimney Actually Solves
Most Indian kitchens fall into two categories: those with external ducting access, and those without. Traditionally, that meant choosing a chimney type at purchase and living with that decision forever. Hindware’s Tablet Plug N Play flips that constraint entirely, letting homeowners start with ductless recirculation and upgrade to ducted mode later using a separately available duct kit — ideal for rented homes, apartments with limited ducting options, or anyone planning future kitchen renovations.

Built Around Three Real Kitchen Needs
Air quality first. With suction reaching up to 1600 m³/hr on the BLDC model, this chimney is designed to clear smoke and cooking odours quickly enough that a long cooking session doesn’t force you out of the kitchen for fresh air — a common frustration in Indian households where daily cooking often involves heavy frying, tempering, and spice-heavy dishes.
Maintenance that doesn’t eat your weekend. The Smart Auto Clean feature burns off accumulated grease automatically, meaning the chimney maintains performance without demanding regular manual scrubbing — a genuine time-saver for busy households.
Durability that’s built to last. Both variants feature metal housing and blower construction, designed to handle daily wear over years of use rather than degrading with heat and grease exposure the way lower-grade materials often do.
BLDC vs Non-BLDC: Which One Fits Your Kitchen?
The BLDC variant is the more premium pick, offering a quieter motor that won’t drown out kitchen conversations, lower power consumption, a longer operational lifespan, and a sleek multi-colour display for easier control. The Non-BLDC variant keeps things straightforward with dual LED cooktop lighting, making it a solid, budget-friendly choice for households prioritizing core functionality over extra tech.
Range hoods and kitchen chimneys, broadly known internationally as cooker hoods or extractor hoods, work by either venting air outside through ducting or filtering and recirculating it back into the room — exactly the flexibility Hindware’s convertible design is built around.
Warranty That Reflects Real Confidence
Hindware backs the BLDC variant with 5 years comprehensive coverage and a substantial 15-year motor warranty, while the Non-BLDC variant comes with 2 years comprehensive and 10 years on the motor. That kind of extended motor warranty signals genuine confidence in long-term build quality, protecting your investment well past the typical appliance warranty window.
