Rahul S –
Ordered the stuff with “2 day delivery” option & received it in 20 hours , so its ‘amazing amazon’ as always .
Coming to the product .
I have tested it for last 2 days & need to watch more ( reliability / durability ) . I have used Prestige & Bajaj 2000 watts ( each performed great & lasted 2 years ) , so my expectations were pitted against those products .
My first impressions of this Pigeon product :
1. Built quality looks & feels OK for the price point . Chrome-rimmed buttons give a sleek look & the button-pressing feels good .
2. Fan noise level is DEFINITELY IRRITATING .. at least 30-40% HIGHER than similar products !!
I suspect its because they use a SINGLE SPEED fan , which runs continuously at the same noise level !!
Cooling rate is slow too . Even after switching off the unit ( after 30 minutes cooking ) , the fan continues to run for 15-20 seconds
3. The cooktop ceramic is NOT GLAZED and looks a bit tacky . Though the dull finish does help in not allowing small steel bowls ( tea heating ) to slip left-right … a definite headache with my Bajaj ICX8 .
Not glazed also means MORE PRONE to getting stained ( turmeric spills ) . User Manual suggests TOOTH PASTE to remove stain … hmmm :)
4. Length of Power Cord is definitely SHORT … short by at least 1-2 feet compared to similar products , which is a REAL TROUBLE for me since my plug point is placed high up . Using Extension Cord is NOT a good idea for a 1800 watt item . User Manual WARNS too .
5. Base legs are NOT ANTI-SKID like Bajaj / Prestige . The cooktop SLIPS LEFT-RIGHT by the slightest pressure .
The unit DOES NOT STAY FIRM ON ITS LEGS WHILE COOKING WITH SWAYING SPOON / SPATULA !! What a shame :)
6. Does not have a KEEP-WARM / HOT-POT function !! What a terrible design miss !!
So, in effect , SLOW & LENGTHY “COVERED” COOKING ( for delicate meat dishes ) is RULED OUT !!
This is an ABSOLUTE DEAL BREAKER for serious cooks like me !!
Lowest wattage setting is 400 watts ( what a joke ) , though I found some “functions” … at 80 watts ( milk heating ) & 180 watts ( saute ) , but looking at the heat generated at those settings , it is certainly not HOT-POT heat which is needed for tender cooking !!
7. User Manual is BOGUS and “somehow” drafted . Beginners wont understand A THING and would blame the product for their OWN mistakes .
My first impression tells me I will be more & more disappointed as time goes by .
A cheap option for bachelors …. but NOT RECOMMENDED for savvy housewives who take cooking SERIOUSLY .

It’s a genuine review..
Conclusion – Don’t heat it as it’s surface is not heat resistant place in your wardrobe/Almirah.
I made mistake and used it for 3 times then glass surface for placing utensils cracked fully looks like it’s hit by stone and it’s tiny glass peices jumps out /looks like dancing due to heating . Although I haven’t exceeded 30min continuous usage warning .
So I am not going to buy any glass plated induction cooktop and surely not this brand .
you too may consider a replace if it is of glass plated/or be ready to place 1 more negative review
Don’t think that glass surface is secondary I too thought that it’s for decoration purpose but it has only this surface pasted.
This one has 10 day replacement .So thought atleast 10 din to chalega
but it got rejected..so you too don’t rely on this.
1year warranty -not useful as not withstand even 2-3 days🤣
Finally-
Will Lodge complaint with consumer court I know it will not help but it can satisfy myself.
But thanks Amazon you delivered this Garbage on time.
