Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- Smallest footprint of the Dreepor minis, so it fits a dorm desk or a crowded counter
- Steamer tray included, so rice and a viand cook from one socket
- Non-stick pot wipes clean instead of needing a scrub
✗ Cons
- Capacity in liters is stated nowhere on the listing
- Shallow pot boils over easily with noodles or soup
- A marketplace brand with no service network, so a failure is a return claim, not a repair
This Dreepor is the most compact of the minis: a small-footprint cooker with a steamer tray, for a kitchen, or a dorm desk, where every centimeter is spoken for.
Buying a cooker that will not tell you its size
The listing never states a capacity. That is the honest headline of this review, because capacity is the one thing that decides whether a rice cooker suits you.
You have three moves. Ask in Shopee chat for the liters and the pot’s inside diameter, which is the more useful number, since a wide shallow pot and a narrow deep one of the same volume cook very differently. Look at the listing photos for a hand or a standard rice paddle next to the pot and scale from that. Or take the model’s own pitch at face value: this is sold as the smallest in the range, so plan on one or two servings and be pleased if it stretches.
If you need a number before you pay, the sibling listings state theirs, and buying one of those beats guessing.
What the steamer tray is actually for
The tray turns one socket into a whole meal, which is the real argument for a mini cooker over a plain pot. Rice goes below, and the steam that would otherwise escape cooks something above it.
Things that finish inside the rice window: siomai, a fish fillet, kangkong, sliced carrots, an egg. Things that will not: a whole chicken leg, dense root crops, anything you were planning to brown.
The small-pot problem nobody mentions
Shallow pots boil over, and this is the shallowest one here. Rice is fine because it absorbs rather than foams, but noodles, soup and anything starchy will climb the sides and out the lid.
The fixes are all free. Cook noodles with the lid tilted or off. Add a spoonful of oil to the water, which breaks the starch foam. And watch it for the first minute after it reaches a boil, which is when it happens.
Around ₱306 as of August 6, 2026, that is the deal: the least counter space in the range, and the least margin for error.
Who this smallest Dreepor suits
Buy this if space is your binding constraint, you cook for one or two, and you are content to find out the exact capacity after it arrives. If the number matters to you, buy a sibling that prints one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of this mini cooker?
The seller does not state it, only that this is the smallest of the Dreepor minis. Ask in Shopee chat for the liters and the pot's inside diameter, and if the answer never comes, assume it cooks for one or two.
Will it fit on a dorm desk?
Yes, small footprint is the whole point of this model. It is light, stows in a cabinet, and works as a second cooker in a family kitchen or the only one in a room.
What can it cook besides rice?
Noodles, soup, and a small hot pot in the non-stick pot, plus vegetables, fish or siomai on the steamer tray above. Keep an eye on anything that foams, because a shallow pot boils over quickly.
Why does it boil over when I cook noodles?
Because the pot is shallow and the lid is not vented for a rolling boil. Cook noodles with the lid off or tilted, add a spoon of oil to the water, and drop the heat the moment it starts climbing.
Is Dreepor a reliable brand?
It is a marketplace label rather than an appliance company, so there is no service center to bring it to. Treat it as a low-cost buy backed by the Shopee return window, not as an appliance you will repair.
