What you get

Imarflex is a long-running appliance brand in the Philippines, so this is a step up from no-name generics in build and after-sales. It’s a standard magnetic induction cooker in a clean Black/Silver finish, good for daily cooking, from boiling water for coffee to frying tuyo and simmering nilaga. Because it’s induction, it needs magnetic pots (flat stainless or cast iron); aluminum and glass won’t heat. The honest gap: the listing doesn’t publish the wattage or control layout, so you can’t compare exact boil speed on paper before buying.

What’s it like to cook on?

You get fine control: 10 power levels and 10 temperature steps from 60–240°C, so you can hold a gentle simmer for nilaga or crank it for a fast boil. A 180-minute timer and a child lock make it easier to live with in a family kitchen, and the auto-off and overload protection add a safety margin. It even ships with a free stainless pot, so you can cook induction from day one without buying new cookware first.

Does your cookware fit?

Like any induction cooker, it only heats magnetic pots, flat stainless or cast iron up to 24cm. Aluminum, glass, and clay won’t work, so do the fridge-magnet test on your pans first. The included pot covers you to start, but if you cook big batches in a wide kaldero, check it’s induction-ready and within the 24cm plate.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱3,598 as of July 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It’s the priciest of our picks, so the value is really about brand trust and the official store, not raw specs on the page.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you’d rather pay more for a known brand and official-store support than gamble on a generic. Weigh it against cheaper rivals in our best induction cookers in the Philippines roundup, or size up your needs in our induction cooker buying guide.

Alternatives to consider

If you want induction for a third of the price, our Best Overall pick is the Xiaomi Induction Cooker N1 at around ₱1,219 as of July 11, 2026. If your pots aren’t magnetic, the Lahome infrared electric ceramic stove works with any pot and is our Best for any pot pick at around ₱1,299.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pots can I use with it?

Magnetic, induction-ready pots only, up to 24cm, flat stainless or cast iron. Aluminum and glass won't heat; if a fridge magnet sticks to the pot's base, it'll work. It also ships with a free stainless pot to start with.

Is 1600W strong enough for daily cooking?

Yes for everyday boiling, frying, and simmering, though it's a touch lower than the 2000W+ rivals, so big pots come to a boil a bit slower. You get 10 power and 10 temperature levels (60–240°C) to work with.

Is it safe to leave while simmering?

It has auto-off, overload protection, and a 180-minute timer, plus a child lock for households with kids. Still treat it like any hot appliance. Don't leave it fully unattended.

Why pay ₱3,598 when generics cost under ₱1,000?

At around ₱3,598 as of July 11, 2026, you're paying for the Imarflex name, official-store support, and after-sales, not extra watts. Sulit if long-term reliability matters more to you than the lowest price.
