    I wonder how the induction stove compares to the Ikea portable one?

    • keejoonc on 01/11/2023 - 13:37

      I would be interested to know whether these are as noisy as the Ikea ones. Ikea induction stove is ok but I find the fan to be far too noisy when using it.

      • GhostofB on 01/11/2023 - 17:39

        Can I ask how much control the Ikea one gives you of the temperature? I'd like to slow cook with an induction stove, but I'm not sure if it's adjustable enough to get the temp right.

    Awesome price for a portable induction cooktop.

    I have the more expensive IKEA version https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/tillreda-portable-induction-hob… and wish I had purchased it sooner instead of using the hot plates at the previous place I rented.

    Cons is the usual induction issue with slight buzzing sound when turned up, pros is all the benefits of induction.

    This one hopefully has the same performance at the lower price.

    Can someone confirm if this Aldi induction cooker, as well as the IKEA one, have smooth power delivery, ie. they don't heat up, switch off, the switch back on alternate like that?

    The problem with cheaper induction cookers is. or used to be, that eg. you're boiling a pot of water and the cooker switches on and off if set to deliver less power. So the water is boiling like crazy for 10 seconds, then stops boiling at all for 10 seconds and back on. That's something, but not usable.

    • humptydumpty on 01/11/2023 - 12:14

      I'd love to know that too!

      I was recently trying to find one that regulated low power also. From memory the Ikea doesn't but I could be wrong although the general conclusion I came to was any of these around the $50, $60 mark didn't.

      In the end I spent more than I planned and got this Tokit but have been very happy with it. Not that I really need 99 power levels but it does what it says and can simmer at 100W on level 1 or get a pot of water boiling in no time at 99 (coming from gas so the difference is amazing). It works with the Xiaomi app where you can set a temp that it will try to maintain which you can't do on the console however it only worked with the AU/Singapore server and the rest of my Xiaomi stuff is registered on the China server so I dont use that.

      The other Xiaomi one (the chunkier round one) does regulate power properly as well from what I read and can be picked up a bit cheaper, but I figured I'd rather have something slimline that was easier to store. This Aldi one looks like a slimline from the photo. Guess all you can do is buy and try, if it doesn't regulate take it back. Interested to know the result too, since this is less than a 3rd of what I paid :D

      • humptydumpty on 01/11/2023 - 13:00

        Have you measured the actual power consumption of the Tokit one? I've got an induction cooker (different brand) that claims to use 500W at the lowest setting but it actually uses a minimum of 1100W.

        • bamzero on 01/11/2023 - 13:04
          +6

          Yeh first thing I did. 100W lowest was reading from my meter and increases about 20W for each level setting.

            @bamzero: That's impressive. Thanks!

          • GhostofB on 01/11/2023 - 17:45

            @bamzero: This is extremely valuable information. Thank you. Do you ever find that you wish you could go lower than 100W? I'm not quite sure how many watts are required to keep a pot at, say, 65C.

            • bamzero on 02/11/2023 - 01:50
              +4

              @GhostofB: We don't often use it below around 10 but I did do a test on a small pot with a litre of water at 1 and it settled around 80C.

      • georgiechan on 01/11/2023 - 13:18

        Thanks for info, never heard of Tokit before.

        Simmering at low temp sounds good but what about the heating area / coil size? It seems most cheaper and/or slimmer induction plates only have the small hotspot in the middle.

        • bamzero on 01/11/2023 - 13:51

          Tokit is a brand of Chunmi who appear to make kitchen appliances for Xiaomi (they've been around since 2013 looks like). The one from my link is for AU market and has a proper AU plug. It's also available Xiaomi branded

          Not sure of exact coil size, maybe around 10cm from bubble ring when boiling water. Definitely smaller than the pattern printed on the glass. Important to have a decently thick base to disperse the heat evenly, we cooked in a 30cm scanpan with a nice heavy base and it was simmering evenly across the whole thing.

            @bamzero: Thanks mate, one more option to consider before biting the bullet to buy a second hand commercial induction cooker. Those things are thick because of the large coil size and cooling fans. They are expensive but can do high power frying and simmering. The price, size and 15A power always stop me from getting one.

        FYI, use cart10% for 10% off for the TOKIT Smart Induction Cooker Pro. Also the sale price has been $177 for ages so that $20 discount advertised is a bit of a joke.
        The Xiaomi version goes for around the $120-160 mark but shipping is the killer on AliExpress - and the lack of any local warranty/support.

        • bamzero on 01/11/2023 - 23:34

          Yeh has always been $177 from when I first saw it. Thanks for sharing the code though, I searched but only came up with ones that worked on US site or not on this product. Price protection claim to go in ;)

    • Luckypenguin on 01/11/2023 - 13:01

      Not at the lowest settings. These portable hobs usually only deliver continuous power from about 1000w and up, and cycle below that. The Ikea has nine heat settings with 1000w being at either 4 or 5. However, I can still get my Ikea hob to brew a Mokka coffee pot (with an induction plate adapter) at setting 3, which due to the small volume of water is quite sensitive to inconsistent heat.

      • MtGeobugi on 02/11/2023 - 00:00

        @Luckypenguin, I’d like to know more about the induction adapter plate, can you share where did you purchase from and any recommendations and tips what to look for? Thank you

      The IKEA one is smooth power from setting 5-9, on low settings 1-4 it alternates on and off.

      With 10 power settings, I will hazard a guess that the Aldi one will be the same. The other cheap ones with 10 settings that have seen work the same as the IKEA

    • koo88 on 01/11/2023 - 16:32

      I can confirm that the IKEA one, at setting, alternates power to regulate the setting that it is on. Not ideal for my coffee Moka pot but does the job.

    The air fryer is good value at $59. CheapAsChips.com.au are selling the same one at $69.

    I wonder why the fashion is now for square air fryers rather than round? I thought that round basket meant a better, more even air flow around the food?

    • Sleuth on 01/11/2023 - 12:32

      IMO square devices make better use of the benchspace, even if the footprint is technically larger. Usable volume / Width is pretty important.

    • PVA on 01/11/2023 - 12:57

      If its like their old round one it will be very noisy both the fan and the beeps.

      Dad has the old model… so noisy compared to our Philips.

  • PVA on 01/11/2023 - 12:54

    I was waiting for the bar fridge sized freezer to come back, not a tall one.
    The small freezer is perfect in the laundrnext to the washer, same height so works as a bench top.

    • placard on 01/11/2023 - 14:27

      Shame the size restriction, as often smaller freezer and fridges use almost the same amount of electricity as larger ones.

      I wonder if you can store a larger freezer elsewhere?

  • damnable on 01/11/2023 - 21:46

    The induction plate looks really slim compared to others around. Might take a look.

    • WatchNerd on 01/11/2023 - 22:02

      Yep looks like a new model.

  • joe8ss on 02/11/2023 - 07:12

    Is induction better than gas??

    • Yukari Yakumo on 02/11/2023 - 09:09
      +3

      Depends, but for most use-cases for most people, yes.

      If you're cooking Anglo-normative food like a schnitty, steak, anything Italian, anything Mexican, etc. then induction is pretty much perfect - cheaper to operate, faster to heat up compared to gas, and great temperature control.

      For Chinese cooking, especially Cantonese regional cuisine, induction simply cannot compete with gas at affordable price points however. You cannot achieve the same "wok hei" burn effect with a cheap induction cooker, and your options are to spend $5000+ on a high-performance induction cooker (which is more costly than buying a professional 100,000BTU 7-jet gas burner for around AU$350, even factoring in gas consumption costs), or to simulate the effect of wok hei using a blowtorch.

      • bamzero on 02/11/2023 - 11:23

        Uncle Roger agrees.

    • bamzero on 14/11/2023 - 15:51

      My folks bought one. It's not as thin as the Aldi photo would suggest, 42mm apparently.
      They said it's still on/off at low power but better than their old cheap one and are happy with it for $50. Lowest power setting is supposed to be 200W and the levels seem to increase fairly linearly, though haven't run through power meter yet to check what it's actually doing.

  • FobMan on 13/11/2023 - 13:59

    Anybody buy the freezer? Are you having trouble opening the door because of the huge vacuum suction I am having?

    I tried Vaseline on the seals but no help.

    Anyone with ideas that actually work to make opening the door easy like a fridge.

    I also tried putting a paddle pop stick at the corner to slightly lift the seal but still have full seal when closed but it still very hard to open.

    • thepartypeople on 13/11/2023 - 14:18

      @FOBman

      Can i ask, are the shelves removable? i need to put tall cakes in it… would it work?

      (PS if it does i ill get back to you once i buy it re the door)

      If you could let me know that would be amazing, thankyou!

  • FobMan on 13/11/2023 - 15:01

    Yes the shelves are removable.
    Once the shelves are removed there are coils for the cooling on the bottom. If it gets too cold you can always put some other bottom plate on.

    If the cakes are too tall then the coils will be in the way.

    The top has no shelve but a bottom tray with the coil at the top so you can pull the bottom shelve and tray and use taller cakes

  • FobMan on 13/11/2023 - 23:41

    @thepartypeople

    Sorry the top tray actually has a coil under it.

    The height of the shelves are about 20-21cm.

    I guess tall cakes higher than 20cm won't fit.
