Simplus multi-function cooker review: best overall mini cooker

The Simplus multi-function cooker is our Best Overall pick among the budget mini cookers: a 4.9-rated unit from a known value brand that cooks rice, steams veggies, and simmers soup in one non-stick pot. Choose 1.8L for a couple or 3L for a small family.

What it does

It’s a rice cooker plus a steamer and hot pot in one pot. The steamer tier sits above, so you can cook rice below and steam fish or veggies on top at the same time: one appliance, one plug, less washing. That’s dinner for two done in a single unit: rice, steamed galunggong, and blanched pechay without three pans. The non-stick coating makes scooping and cleanup easy, and the hot-pot mode handles instant noodles, soup, or a quick shabu-shabu.

Which size should you get?

Pick by headcount. The 1.8L suits a solo renter or a couple, roughly two to three cups of cooked rice. The 3L stretches to a small family of three or four, with room to steam ulam on top. If you regularly cook rice and viand for the whole household, go 3L; if it’s mostly just you, the 1.8L is cheaper and takes even less space.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱894 as of July 6, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It’s the priciest of the mini multi-cookers we list, but the higher rating, the 10K+ sold, and the trusted Simplus name make it the safe pick if you want one that lasts. To keep it lasting, use wooden or silicone utensils on the non-stick pot. Steel wool and metal spoons scratch the coating.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want one small cooker that does a bit of everything and you’d rather pay a little more for reliability. See how it ranks in our best rice cookers in the Philippines roundup, and read our rice cooker buying guide to pick the right size.
