Good price on this induction cooktop that seems to be matching Aldi's special for a tad cheaper with a tad more power. Plus it has a 2 year warranty versus Aldi's 1 year warranty. According to PriceHipster it hasn't been in this cheap since 2022.
Features include a 60-240°C temperature range, 8 temperature settings, 7 preset programs, timer/lock function, LED display, soft sensor touch controls and. The manual here has full details.

Hob compatibility: all hobs except induction

Good price for a cooker, especially for a big brand one.
But for simple cooking, I optted for the 1800w Kmart Electric Frypan for $32. It does the cooker job also including the pan and lid! Also since it is integrated so it has better fast thermal transfer less energy waste. Plus it is $32.
different heating technology compared to induction which heats the pan directly aswell without heating an element, still good option
I dont think that's induction, which uses magnets.
would this be able to make a good sear on a steak ?
I dont think the steak cares where the heat is coming from.

Has anyone gotten access to the Choice magazine reviews on these portable induction cookers? I read an article basically saying they're more trouble than they're worth unless you have a specific use case for them such as camping or caravaning. The base is generally one size so unless your everyday cooking uses a perfect fit pot or pan then you lose efficiency as the coils are working optimally. You do still reduce indoor pollution by avoiding gas though.

That's why.
