Best in Class
Perfect for cooking and fryin on the go, it heats up very fastly so it takes time to adjust to that, but other than that it looks very good and durable. It has all the necessary modes of cooking and Havells service center was also very 👍 good. It is value for money You can totally go for it

Go for it! Great product, am absolutely thrilled with my purchase.
Great cooktop. It’s the first time I’m trying induction. Packaged well enough to prevent damage/breakage of glass top, though had expected more protective packaging. Was delivered the very next morning (had ordered it the night before from Cloudtail), as I have subscribed to Prime. Very quick delivery.About the product itself: Worked well from the very first second. Works perfectly with steel and induction base utensils. If the size or material (experimented with other dishes) is not right, it does not start up but warns you with a constant beeping, till you take the item off and restart with the correct cookware. Very happy with the product (been using for a day), heats milk in a jiffy (about 2 minutes on 1000 w), made tea using a steel tea vessel and cheese sandwiches using an induction base pan. Doesn’t scorch the pan, easy fast cooking, easy to use. Kitchen doesn’t heat up the way it does with a gas cooktop and easy on arms since it is faster (the main reasons I intended to try induction). Need to try making normal Indian meals including rotis (need to buy an appropriate tawa for roti and dosa). Saves a lot of time. I will update at a later point after using for a while. However, extremely happy and thrilled with it for now. Wondering why I didn’t buy it much earlier (no, actually, I do know: it’s cause we were afraid it would use too much electricity and our bill would go sky high through the roof)! Need to see what my electricity bill looks like after a month of use, but from the reviews on amazon and on the internet, induction cooking is supposed to be energy efficient, so hopefully will not be high. I will update on this as well later. Cord is long enough (for my purposes a little too long actually). Very light and portable, easy to move around the kitchen. Had expected it to be heavy, but it’s surprisingly not. A little higher than expected from the base of the kitchen slab though due to the small raised knobs/legs, but guess the space is needed for the fan to cool off the cooktop.Adds a cool tech look to my kitchen too Now I feel I have a fully equipped kitchen! Slight noise from the fan, but that is fine as it actually helps you to know it is on and working.All in all a great purchase at almost 50% of it’s actual price, really worth it.Update:1 day later, made methi rotis and boiled potatoes for alu raita. The methi rotis came out very well, well cooked through in less time than on gas. First heating of the tawa takes a little time (about 1 roti) to really heat up, but after that you can make them pretty fast, without as as much perspiration as in gas cooktop. What a blessing. I had the kitchen fan on, too (which could not be used with flame as it would waver). I played music and danced (literally) to Coldplay while making rotis (believe me first time ever). Used the roti/dosa button to regulate the temp etc and all was easy.Potatoes were boiled using my Pigeon induction cooker (at last found one more use for it) As others have commented before, the Pressure Cook button seems not to work well (at least for Indian conditions?). After 15 minutes steam was still not coming out of the cooker. So gave up, returned to (by now familiar) Manual button. In 10 minutes my potatoes were ready (after 3 whistles). Cooled them and made delicious, cool alu raita to go with the rotis. Looking forward to making more dishes on this cooktop. I’m only keeping fingers crossed now that it continues to work well for months / years more as some other reviewers pointed out issues at a later stage (sometimes electronic products do get problems). But can still get it repaired or replaced I suppose. Otherwise, well, we buy mobiles and other stuff for quite a few thousands without regrets, why can’t we spend less than a quarter of that for kitchen gadgets, which make cooking in an Indian kitchen during the hot summer months especially, a pleasure? Worth the risk. And Philips is a reputed brand, so here’s hoping the products do last for years.

High price Low value
Worked very well for the first 2.5 years, but then the buttons stopped functioning one by one and finally after 3.5 years the stove stopped working (circuit breaker keeps going off)Phillips service centre says it cant be repaired, and the third party wants to charge 1500 for changing the motherboard.So, price for value I would say is very poor, compared to other brands.
