Zolele IC101 2000W induction cooker review: precise power control

The Zolele IC101 is a 2000W induction cooker with precise power control, 4.9-rated, 2K+ sold, from the official Zolele store at around ₱2,299.

What you get

A 2000W single-burner induction cooktop with fine power steps, so you can hold a gentle simmer for sauces or crank it for a fast boil. That “smart” precise control is the headline feature over bare-bones generics. As true induction, it needs magnetic pots. Check with a magnet. It’s rated 220V, 50–60Hz (standard for PH homes), and 2000W is solid for one burner feeding a family of 3–5.

The 10-level rotary knob is the real draw: a physical dial you turn instead of tapping a flat touch panel, which makes nudging the heat mid-cook easier when your hands are wet or greasy. That matters for dishes you can’t walk away from: a low, steady heat for a reducing sauce, or holding a pot of goto just below a boil. At 27 x 27 x 7cm it’s a compact footprint that fits a small counter and stows easily after cooking.

Is it easy to clean?

The black microcrystalline glass top wipes flat: no grates, no coil to work around. Let it cool, then wipe spills with a damp cloth; a soft sponge and a little dishwashing liquid lift anything dried on. Skip steel wool so the glass doesn’t scratch. Since the surface itself never gets stovetop-hot, spills don’t bake on the way they do on a gas ring.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱2,299 as of July 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It sits mid-pack: pricier than the ₱879 Ookas, cheaper than the Xiaomi and Imarflex. Fair if the precise control matters to you. Just weigh that against the newer brand. You’re paying a mid-range price for a name with less of a track record in PH than Xiaomi.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you cook dishes that need careful heat and want an official-store unit with a 4.9 rating. Zolele is newer in the Philippines, so confirm warranty and parts before you buy.

Alternatives to consider

If you’d rather stick with an established brand for less, the Xiaomi Induction Cooker N1 Youth Version (our Best Overall pick at around ₱1,219 as of July 11, 2026) undercuts this by a clear margin with the same true-induction heat. If your pots aren’t magnetic, the Lahome Infrared Electric Ceramic Stove, our Best for any pot pick at around ₱1,299, heats any cookware.
