Cook the foods you love — without your home smelling like them for two days.
Plume's articulated arm reaches over the pan, senses what you're cooking, and captures smoke, steam, and aroma at the source. No ductwork. No installation.
Built to keep up with real cooking
Most range hoods are validated against mild, occasional cooking — a quick sauté, the odd fry — and sold as universal. Real cooking is hotter, oilier, and more heavily spiced than that, and it makes a bigger plume than a mild hood was ever built to catch. That's not a fan problem. It's a geometry problem — the intake has never been able to move to where the plume actually is. Plume's arm can.
Who this is for
If you cook hot, oily, heavily spiced food regularly — and your current hood (or lack of one) can't keep up — this is built for your kitchen specifically, not as an afterthought.
How Plume works
Three things happen automatically, in real time, every time you cook.
Reaches
The arm positions itself over the pan — close enough to matter, out of your way while you cook.
Senses
It tracks smoke, steam, and aroma as they rise, and adjusts in real time instead of running one fixed speed.
Captures
Everything gets pulled through a deep, multi-stage filter built for a heavier load than a standard hood carries.
"The same dish that used to mean opening every window and leaving for two hours. Tuesday night, guest over, nobody mentioned the smell."What the recommendation moment looks like — no more planning your cooking around your ventilation.
Questions people ask first
Isn't this just an air purifier?
No. Air purifiers clean the room after the smell has already spread. Plume captures at the source — right over the pan — before it gets into the rest of your home.
Do I need to install anything?
No ductwork, no permits, no landlord conversation. It's a countertop device — plug it in near your stove and it's ready.
Will it work with my stove?
Plume Dock is designed to sit beside any cooktop — gas, electric, or induction — and reach over whichever burner you're using.
How is this actually different from my range hood?
Most hoods are fixed in place and validated against mild, occasional cooking. Plume's arm repositions to follow real cooking — hotter, oilier, more heavily spiced — and filters deep enough to handle it.
When can I actually get one?
