Accepted by most families, how can you buy a satisfactory cheap induction cooker?

1. Brand

Choose a well-known brand with strong technical force and high credibility. The product must pass 3C mandatory safety certification and ISO9001 international quality certification. Because well-known brands not only have excellent product quality, but also have less electromagnetic radiation, and after-sales service is guaranteed. Therefore, well-known brands should be the first choice for consumers. When purchasing, you should first look at the product introduction and the functions and characteristics of the product. The trademark, brand, inspection certificate, product packaging and product instructions of the cheap induction cooker must be complete. For those induction cookers without factory name, factory address, and not responsible for three guarantees, do not buy them.

2. Appearance

You should choose an induction cooker with beautiful appearance, light and harmonious color. The panel must be an authentic ceramic microcrystalline glass panel, which is characterized by milky white, opaque, and the printed pattern on the touch panel has a distinct bumpy feel. If heat-resistant plastic or tempered glass is used as the panel, it is easy to burn out or burst when exposed to cold water. The appearance of the stove surface should be flat and undamaged. If the stove surface is damaged or tilted to one side, it will affect the normal generation of thermal efficiency. It should also be noted that there should be no bumps or scratches on the sides and bottom of the induction cooker. The decorative pattern should be clear and the fastening screws of each part should not be loose.

3. Internal quality

When the cheap induction cooker does not work, you can turn the induction cooker over and shake it. There is no gap and no looseness at the internal parts of the panel and the joints between the panels. After power is turned on, the motor should have no obvious noise or friction sound, the panel should heat normally, and the touch button should display sensitively.

4. Power

The current induction cooker power is usually between 800~2000W. The greater the power, the faster the heating speed, the greater the power consumption, and the higher the selling price. Therefore, the purchase should be based on the number of diners and usage. Generally speaking, families with less than 3 people should choose an induction cooker with less than 1000W; families with 4-5 people should choose about 1300W; families with 6-7 people should choose 1600W; families with more than 8 people should choose 2000W induction cookers.

5. Protection function.

The cheap induction cooker you choose should have a variety of protection devices, including small object detection, automatic shutdown protection for overheating, automatic shutdown protection for overvoltage or undervoltage, automatic stop for empty burning, heating protection, power failure protection, automatic shutdown protection for 1-2 minutes, and sound and light alarm display. When purchasing, you should follow the relevant detection methods in the “Instruction Manual” and test each item after powering on to see if its protection function works properly.

6. Key components

The quality of cheap induction cookers depends on the quality of high-frequency high-power transistors and ceramic microcrystalline glass panels. When purchasing, be sure to buy an induction cooker with a single high-power transistor with high speed, high voltage, and high current, because it has good quality, excellent performance, high reliability, and is not easy to damage.

7. Test electrical performance

Add about 0.5kg of cold water to the matching pot, turn on the power, press the “heat” button, heat it at room temperature for 4-5 minutes to boil it, indicating that the induction cooker is basically heating normally. When the water boils, you should only hear the slight rotation sound of the internal motor, and there should be no abnormal noise or vibration. After the motor stops, unplug the power plug and touch the power plug with your hand. It is room temperature or slightly warm, indicating that the electrical performance of the induction cooker is good.

8. Don’t be greedy for gifts

In the induction cooker counter area of ​​the electrical appliance store, consumers often buy an induction cooker, and the merchant will give some gifts. There is a proverb that the wool comes from the sheep. When buying, customers should not covet gifts, but should focus on the function and quality of the product. Don’t be “lost” by the merchant’s gifts.

9. Price

When buying an induction cooker, consumers should compare prices from three stores. Under the same power and protection function, choosing an affordable and cheap induction cooker will be more in line with our wallet policy.
