LAHOME 2.5L/5L pressure cooker review: cheapest multicooker here

The LAHOME smart electric pressure cooker is the cheapest pick here at around ₱1,099, in a 2.5L or 5L size. A great entry price, but only 25 sold, so feedback is thin.

What you get

Pick 2.5L for one or two people, or 5L for a small family of 3–5. It works as a pressure cooker, rice cooker, hotpot, and soup pot, with 12 preset menus, so one appliance covers a lot for a first multicooker in a dorm, condo, or starter kitchen. Pressure cooking is the real reason to buy it: it turns slow dishes fast. Pork adobo, beef pares, or bulalo that would simmer for hours get tender in a fraction of the time, which also trims the gas or electricity bill. The inner pot is food-grade 304 stainless steel, so there’s no non-stick coating to peel or scratch. Rice may catch a little more than on a coated pot, but it’s the more durable choice. A 24-hour reservation timer and a keep-warm mode round out the basics. The seller lists safety-cooking features, standard for the type. It shows a perfect 5.0 rating, but on just 25 sales, so treat that score as promising, not proven. The listing doesn’t state the wattage, model code, or voltage, which is normal for a budget generic.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱1,099 as of July 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It’s by far the cheapest multicooker here, a fraction of the ₱2,675 Astron, and barely a tenth of the ₱9,495 Instant Pot. For the price of a couple of takeout dinners, you’re into pressure cooking. Sulit for testing the waters, as long as you accept the short track record. With only 25 sold, you’re an early buyer, so check recent buyer photos and chat the seller before you order.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want the lowest-cost way into pressure cooking and you’re okay being an early buyer. Singles and couples should lean to the 2.5L; a family of 3–5 wants the 5L.
