What comes with the Gaabor Rice Cooker 600W 1.8L

At 600W it cooks a full 1.8L pot fairly quickly, and the non-stick coating keeps cleanup simple. In practice 1.8L is roughly 4–5 cups of cooked rice, enough for two to three people at a meal, so it fits a couple, a small family, or a dorm setup. That’s plenty for daily kanin plus a bit of extra for sinangag the next morning. The rinse, stew, and cook functions mean it’s not only for rice: you can simmer lugaw, a small nilaga, or soften beans on the stew setting, which is handy when you don’t want to fire up the stove for one pot. It’s a straightforward daily cooker without features you won’t use.

Is the Gaabor Rice Cooker 600W 1.8L sulit?

Around β‚±399 as of August 6, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. For a 4.9-rated cooker from a known brand, that’s genuinely sulit, it undercuts most trusted-brand 1.8L cookers while keeping the ratings high, and the 10K+ sold count backs up the reviews.

Who the Gaabor Rice Cooker 600W 1.8L suits

Buy this if you want a dependable daily 1.8L cooker at the best price-to-rating balance here. One habit keeps it going for years: use the bundled paddle or a wooden spoon and a soft sponge (never steel wool) so the non-stick coating doesn’t flake. Feeding four big rice eaters? You’ll be cooking two batches, so size up instead. Compare it with the field in our best rice cookers in the Philippines roundup, or read the rice cooker buying guide first.

If the Gaabor Rice Cooker 600W 1.8L is not right

If you want to steam a dish while your rice cooks, the Simplus multi-function cooker with steamer is our Best Overall pick at around β‚±894 as of August 6, 2026. Feeding a bigger household? The Gold Star electric rice cooker, our Best Large Capacity pick, scales up to 6L for around β‚±699 as of August 6, 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 1.8L enough for a family of four?

It's tight, 1.8L comfortably feeds 2–3 people per batch. For a family of four with big rice eaters, you'd be cooking twice or looking at a full-size cooker instead.

Is 600W strong enough to cook rice quickly?

600W is typical for a mini cooker this size, it cooks a 1.8L pot at a reasonable pace, just not as fast as bigger 1000W units. For everyday small batches it's plenty.

How do I know I'm getting an original Gaabor?

Buy from the Gaabor Official Store listing and check for the official store badge, plus the ratings and reviews. If anything looks off, message the seller via Shopee chat first.

How do I care for the non-stick coating?

Use the paddle that comes with it or a wooden spoon, and wash the pot with a soft sponge, no steel wool. That keeps the coating good for years.
