Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- Works with any pot, not just magnetic
- 200W-2200W across 9 power levels
- Excellent 4.9 rating, 10K+ sold
✗ Cons
- Infrared ceramic heats slower than true induction
The Lahome infrared ceramic stove heats any pot (it’s not induction, so no magnetic cookware needed), and it’s 4.9-rated with 10K+ sold.
What you get
A ceramic infrared burner that fits any pot: clay, aluminum, stainless, or your existing kaldero. That any-pot flexibility is the big draw over induction, which only works with magnetic pans, so your palayok for sinigang and your kaldero for rice both go straight on top, no new cookware needed. You set the heat through a touch panel with an LED display. The seller flags it as energy-saving, though infrared ceramic isn’t as efficient as true induction, and it heats and cools more slowly. Expect a short wait for it to reach a rolling boil, and another short wait for it to calm down when you dial it back. That lag is the trade-off for taking any pot. The glass top also stays hot for a while after cooking, so keep it clear of curious hands until it cools. The listing doesn’t give the wattage or voltage, so plan around those unknowns.
Is it sulit?
Around ₱1,299 as of July 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It’s mid-priced for the category and well-proven: 10K+ sold sit behind its 4.9 rating, so the any-pot promise clearly holds up in real kitchens. The catch: a true induction hob at similar money cooks faster if you already own magnetic pots. So the ₱1,299 buys you flexibility, not speed. If you’d otherwise have to replace a cupboard of clay and aluminum pots to go induction, that flexibility can be the cheaper path overall.
Who should buy it
Buy this if you want an any-pot hob and don’t want to rebuy cookware, handy in a rental or a lola’s kitchen full of clay and aluminum pots. If your pots are already magnetic and speed matters more than flexibility, true induction is the better fit. Compare the field in the best induction cookers in the Philippines roundup, or weigh the types in our induction cooker buying guide.
Alternatives to consider
If your pots are magnetic and you want faster cooking, the Xiaomi Induction Cooker N1 (Youth Version, 2100W) is our Best Overall pick and slightly cheaper at around ₱1,219 as of July 11, 2026, but it only takes induction-ready cookware. For a value-focused true-induction option, the Xiaomi Lifeite 2100W Induction Cooker lands around ₱1,249 as of July 11, 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy special induction pots for this stove?
No, it's an infrared ceramic stove, not magnetic induction, so your existing kaldero, aluminum, stainless, or clay pots all work on it.
What wattage and voltage does it run on?
It runs 200W–2200W across 9 power levels on 220V, so it plugs straight into a standard PH outlet. Skip the extension cord at high power settings.
Does it really save energy like the seller claims?
The 97% energy efficiency figure is a seller claim, so take it with a grain of salt. Infrared ceramic is generally less efficient than true magnetic induction, though still handier than it for mixed cookware.
Is it sulit at around ₱1,299?
At around ₱1,299 as of July 11, 2026, it's mid-priced for the category and well-proven with a 4.9 rating on 10K+ sold. If your pots are already magnetic, a true induction hob cooks faster for similar money.
Is this an original LAHOME unit?
It ships from the LAHOME Self-Operated Store, the brand's own channel. For anything drawing this much current, buying from the brand store matters, because a faulty unit needs a seller who will actually take it back.
