The Dreepor 1.8L mini rice cooker is our Best Budget pick: a multifunction cooker with a steamer for around ₱306. If you just need to cook rice and the odd hot pot without spending much, this is the entry point.

What you get

It cooks rice, steams with the included tray, and works as a small hot pot for noodles or soup. At 1.8L it’s sized for a couple or a small family of 2–3 with a bit left over, roughly two cups of uncooked rice, enough for a weeknight dinner plus baon the next day. Stack the steamer tray on top and rice cooks below while veggies, fish, or siomai steam above. That’s two dishes from one appliance, and one less burner in a cramped kitchen.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱306 as of July 6, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It’s one of the cheapest multi-cookers on Shopee PH, roughly the price of a takeout meal. It’s a generic brand, so treat it as a low-risk starter rather than a buy-it-for-life appliance. The 10K+ units sold and 4.7 rating suggest most buyers are happy for what they paid, just don’t expect the build of a branded unit.

Is it easy to clean?

Yes. The non-stick pan wipes down after rice or hot pot, so grains don’t bake on. Wash it with a soft sponge and dish soap once it cools, and skip steel wool and metal spoons so the coating lasts. The steamer tray rinses clean the same way.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you’re kitting out a dorm or small kitchen on a tight budget and want rice plus a steamer for the price of a takeout meal. It suits students, solo renters, or a barkada sharing one pot. If you regularly cook for more than three, size up instead. See sturdier options in our best rice cookers in the Philippines roundup and our rice cooker buying guide.

Alternatives to consider

If 1.8L is too small for your household, the Gold Star electric rice cooker is our Best Large Capacity pick and sizes up to 6L for around ₱699 as of July 6, 2026. Want a more dependable all-rounder? The Simplus 1.8L/3L cooker with steamer is our Best Overall at around ₱894 as of July 6, 2026.

Yes, a steamer tray is included, so you can steam veggies or siomai while the pot handles rice, noodles, or a small hot pot below.

Will it last as long as a branded rice cooker?

Probably not. It's a generic brand, so treat it as a low-risk starter rather than a buy-it-for-life appliance. The 10K+ sold and 4.7 rating suggest most buyers are happy for the price.

How much does it cost?

Is Dreepor a real brand or a marketplace label?

Dreepor is a marketplace appliance label rather than a heritage brand, selling through its own Shopee store. That is not automatically a problem at this price, but expect the seller rather than a service center to handle any issue, so keep your order record.
