Pros and cons

✓ Pros

  • One of the cheapest cooktops here at around ₱879
  • Infrared ceramic: works with any pot, not just magnetic
  • Strong 4.8 rating, 7K+ sold

✗ Cons

  • It's an infrared ceramic stove, not true magnetic induction, so it heats slower
  • The 3500W figure is seller-claimed; real output is usually lower

This budget Ookas cooktop is one of the cheapest here at around ₱879, 4.8-rated with 7K+ sold. Just know the listing mixes “induction” and “infrared ceramic”. They aren’t the same thing.

Named induction, but the specs point to infrared

An energy-saving 220V countertop stove for everyday cooking: boiling water, frying, simmering sinigang. The listing calls it both an inverter induction cooker and an electric ceramic infrared stove. That matters more than it sounds: true induction needs magnetic pots and heats them directly, while a ceramic infrared plate glows hot and heats any cookware sitting on it: clay pot, aluminum kaldero, glass. The specs (model B01, glass-ceramic surface, “fits any pot”) lean infrared, so that’s likely what you’re getting.

The practical upshot: if your kitchen has a mix of old aluminum and clay pots, an infrared plate saves you buying new cookware. The trade is speed. Infrared heats a touch slower than true magnetic induction and stays hot after you switch off. The wattage isn’t published, so you can’t compare heat output on paper; a 3500W figure that sometimes appears is a seller claim, not verified.

A budget 220V burner with a strong rating

Around ₱879 as of August 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. For under ₱900 with a 4.8 rating and 7K+ sold, it’s one of the most sulit single-burner cooktops in our list. The 4.8 rating is actually the highest among the cheap Ookas cooktops, and 7K+ sold is a real vote of confidence at this price.

Keep cooking with your aluminum and clay pots

Buy this if you want the cheapest possible countertop stove and you’re not fussy about the induction-vs-infrared label, especially handy if you already own aluminum or clay pots you’d rather keep using. Message the seller to confirm which type you’re getting, and its wattage, first. Compare it in our best induction cookers in the Philippines roundup.

Clearly labelled hobs if you’d rather be sure

If you want an infrared plate you can trust to heat any pot, the Lahome Infrared Electric Ceramic Stove is our Best for any pot at around ₱1,299 as of August 11, 2026, clearly labelled, no induction-vs-infrared confusion. If you have magnetic pots and want a proven brand, the Xiaomi Induction Cooker N1 is our Best Overall pick at around ₱1,219, rated 4.9.

Frequently asked questions

Is it real induction or infrared ceramic?

The specs point to infrared ceramic (model B01, glass-ceramic surface, fits any pot) even though the listing also says induction. Message the seller to confirm before buying if the difference matters to you.

Can I use my aluminum kaldero or clay pot on it?

Yes. As an infrared ceramic stove it heats any cookware, which is its edge over true induction. That's exactly why it suits kitchens with mixed pots.

Is the 3500W figure legit?

Treat it as a seller claim. Real output on budget ceramic cooktops is usually lower. There's no verified wattage on the listing, so ask via Shopee chat if you need a firm number.

Is it sulit next to a true induction hob?

For an any-pot 220V cooktop with a 4.8 rating and 7K+ sold, around ₱879 as of August 11, 2026 is one of the most sulit prices in our list. Just expect slower heating than a true magnetic induction hob.
