Hindware Lexia Plus Chimney Autoclean 90cm / 3 ft 1550m3/hr

Hindware Lexia Plus Auto Clean Chimney 90cm — 1550 m³/hr

The Hindware Lexia Plus is a high-output auto-clean chimney for large kitchen setups — 90cm wide, rated at 1550 m³/hr, and built around a powerful 400W conventional motor that delivers strong suction consistently across the full cooking area of a 4–5 burner cooktop. At 1550 m³/hr, it sits at the upper end of the conventional-motor chimney range, making it effective for the intense cooking volumes that larger Indian households produce — heavy frying, multiple burners running simultaneously, and the kind of sustained heat that generates smoke and fumes faster than a lower-capacity chimney can clear them.

The Automatic Louvre Opening sets the Lexia Plus apart from most chimneys in this segment. When the chimney switches on, the front louvre panel opens automatically to maximise the suction inlet area and improve airflow efficiency; when switched off, it closes again, keeping the interior protected from dust and presenting a cleaner profile when not in use. A Turbo speed mode supplements the 3 standard speed settings, providing an instant surge to maximum suction when a sudden burst of smoke or steam demands immediate extraction — the kind of situation that arises during high-heat tadka or when a pot boils over unexpectedly.

Filterless technology combined with thermal auto-clean means there is no filter to wash, clog, or replace — suction stays at 1550 m³/hr rather than declining gradually as a filter accumulates grease. One touch of the auto-clean button heats the interior to liquefy grease deposits, draining residue into a metal oil collector for easy disposal. A motion sensor allows hands-free on/off switching, and the touch control panel manages all functions. GDsons customers have confirmed the chimney's strong suction, effective auto-clean, and efficient odour removal in real kitchen use. Backed by a 2-year comprehensive warranty plus 10-year motor warranty.

Key Features

1550 m³/hr Suction — 400W Motor

At 1550 m³/hr, the Lexia Plus delivers one of the highest suction outputs available in a conventional-motor 90cm chimney — strong enough to handle simultaneous multi-burner cooking, heavy frying, and intensive Indian cooking sessions without falling behind. The 400W motor drives this output consistently throughout the chimney's operational life.

Automatic Louvre Opening

The front louvre panel opens automatically when the chimney is switched on, expanding the suction inlet area for improved airflow efficiency. When switched off, it closes automatically, protecting the interior from dust accumulation and presenting a cleaner, more finished appearance when the chimney is at rest.

3-Speed + Turbo Mode

Three standard speeds handle the full range from gentle extraction for light cooking to strong suction for sustained heavy use. Turbo mode provides an instant maximum-power surge for moments when cooking generates sudden heavy smoke or steam — a practical feature during high-heat cooking sessions that standard 3-speed chimneys can't match.

Filterless Technology

No baffle, mesh, or cassette filter is installed. The filterless design ensures suction efficiency remains at 1550 m³/hr throughout the chimney's service life, unlike filter-based chimneys where progressive grease clogging of the filter gradually restricts airflow and reduces suction over months of use.

Thermal Auto-Clean

One touch activates the auto-clean cycle, which heats the chimney's interior to liquefy accumulated grease and drain residue into a removable metal oil collector. No dismantling, no scrubbing — maintenance is reduced to periodically emptying the oil collector, a task that takes only a few minutes.

Motion Sensor + Touch Control

The motion sensor allows hands-free on/off switching with a wave of the hand near the sensor zone. The touch control panel provides direct access to speed selection, turbo mode, LED lighting, and the auto-clean function.

Metallic Blower & Metal Oil Collector

Metal blower construction provides greater durability than plastic alternatives, maintaining consistent airflow over the chimney's service life. The metal oil collector is easy to clean and robust enough to handle the grease volumes a 90cm chimney accumulates during regular intensive cooking.

LED Lighting — 1×3W

A single 3-watt LED light illuminates the cooking area from above. The LED is energy-efficient and long-lasting compared to conventional chimney bulbs, though it is worth noting that some users in bright kitchens find the 3W illumination relatively modest — adequate for cooking visibility but not as bright as higher-wattage alternatives.

2-Year Comprehensive + 10-Year Motor Warranty

The chimney carries a 2-year comprehensive warranty on the overall product and a 10-year warranty on the motor — a strong warranty combination that reflects Hindware's confidence in the Lexia Plus's motor reliability, and provides meaningful long-term assurance for a daily-use kitchen appliance at this price point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hindware Lexia Plus a BLDC chimney?

No. The Lexia Plus uses a conventional 400W motor, not a BLDC (Brushless DC) motor. BLDC motors are more energy-efficient and quieter, and typically carry 12-year motor warranties. The Lexia Plus's conventional motor delivers 1550 m³/hr of suction with a 10-year motor warranty — a strong specification for a non-BLDC chimney at this suction level.

What is the Automatic Louvre Opening?

When the chimney switches on, the front panel opens automatically to widen the suction inlet area — improving airflow efficiency during operation. When switched off, the panel closes automatically, keeping the interior clean and presenting a finished appearance in the kitchen.

What is Turbo mode?

Turbo mode instantly boosts the chimney to maximum suction, beyond the standard high-speed setting. It is most useful during sudden surges of heavy cooking — deep frying, high-heat tempering, or a pot boiling over — where the standard speed settings may not extract fumes quickly enough.

Is the chimney noisy at full speed?

Buyer feedback at Girdhar Das & Sons notes the chimney performs quietly at standard speeds but is somewhat noisier at maximum speed — a characteristic common to conventional high-power motors at maximum output. At the 3 standard speed settings, noise is within normal range for a chimney of this suction capacity.

How bright is the LED lighting?

The LED provides adequate illumination for monitoring cooking, though at 3W it is on the modest end compared to chimneys with higher-wattage or dual LED setups. This is noted by some users in very bright kitchens. For most cooking purposes, visibility is sufficient.

Is the Lexia Plus filterless?

Yes, fully filterless. A screen prevents direct contact between airflow and the motor/blower assembly, but there is no filter to wash, replace, or have clog over time — suction efficiency stays consistent.

How does the auto-clean cycle work?

A single touch starts the thermal auto-clean cycle, which heats the chimney's internal components to liquefy accumulated grease and oil deposits. The melted residue drains into the removable metal oil collector, which is then emptied and wiped clean. No internal scrubbing or component removal is needed.

How often should the auto-clean cycle be run?

For regular daily Indian cooking across a 4–5 burner stove, once or twice a month is generally sufficient. The oil collector should be checked and emptied at the same time.

What warranty does the Hindware Lexia Plus come with?

A 2-year comprehensive warranty on the complete chimney and a 10-year warranty specifically on the motor.

Does this chimney require professional installation?

Yes. Wall mounting, duct routing, and electrical connection should be handled by a qualified technician. Hindware provides professional installation through its authorised service network — Girdhar Das & Sons can assist with connecting you to the appropriate installation service at the time of purchase. The Hindware service helpline is 1800-103-3300.
