Philips Viva Collection HD4928/01 2100-Watt Induction Cooktop (Black)

I purchased this for my mom as we now had solar panels at our home so to save gas bill this was purchased It has been an year since it's purchase and I am happy with it , it does the job very well for cooking vegetable or pressure cooker tea or heating milk And yes you can't make roti or such things as good as from the gas one so it can't act as complete shift but instead like an addition to the kitchen It's overall quality is good and it's sturdy definitely worth the buy And yes if you don't have a flat bottom utensil it isn't gonna work It does consume good electricity though not recommended for students or hostellers you guys can go for the 1400W version it will still work good

I am very happy with this Philips induction cooktop. The build quality is excellent and the design looks modern and premium. It heats very fast and saves a lot of cooking time. The touch controls are smooth and easy to use, even for beginners. Different preset modes are very useful for daily cooking. It is energy efficient and easy to clean after use. Safety features work well and give peace of mind. Overall, this is a reliable and value-for-money product from Philips. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good induction cooktop.

This is my 3rd purchase of this Induction cooktop by Philips. I got 2 of these in Oct 2017 and both are working good so far, without a single issue. Earlier it was for my relatives but this time requirement came from my own kitchen. So without any second thought, I ordered this one, owing to wonderful past experience with the same product. ••••••••••••••••••• 🎁 INSIDE BOX ••••••••••••••••••• → Induction cooktop → Safety leaflet → User Manual Cord length: 1.5 m approx Max power: 2100 watts Warranty: 1 Year •••••••••••• ➕ PROS •••••••••••• 1. Stylish & durable cooktop for the kitchen. 2. Works great with lots of preset options for cooking. 3. Works with a good range of iron/magnetic base cookware, bottom diameter 12-20cm. 4. Every mode has an accompanying led indicator above the button. 5. Manual mode in any induction is kind of a blessing to have full control over the cooking process. 6. Many preset modes can also be adjusted as per the required temperature and cooking time. 7. +/- can be used to adjust both temperature and timer. •••••••••••• ➖ CONS •••••••••••• 1. The only thing I miss here is a startup kit, which Philips if it includes, will be a fantastic addon. Still it's a 5-star ★★★★★ device for the price point. ••••••••••••••••••••••••• PANEL & BUTTONS ••••••••••••••••••••••••• Upper Row L-R 1. Manual button 2. Roti/Dosa button 3. Gravy button 4.

Normal steel utensils also work but are very less efficient. Aluminium ones won't work here. → The glass plate gets hot during usage. Handle it with caution. The residual heat indicator remains on to show the status of heat. → The plastic body surrounds the glass and even the control panel is plastic made. So make sure to handle hot utensils carefully avoiding contact with the plastic body. I had my induction's control panel zone deformed due to this. → Keep vents clean and have sufficient space around induction, for it to have proper forced air circulation. It's an important process to keep the internals cool as its all electronics inside. ••••••••••••••••••••• IMPORTANT ADVICE ••••••••••••••••••••• ▶ Never ever let liquid spill on the induction. It's the major cause of failures in these cooktops. Water or liquid seeps in through the joint of the glass and control panel and damages the electronic circuit there. •••••••••••••••• 🏆 VERDICT •••••••••••••••• Philips goes by the name and never disappoints wrt quality and performance of the product. That's my experience so far with a range of Philips products. ▶ In 2k+ range, this one is recommended without any second thought. Philips also has another model with further attractive looks and touch interface, but that costs 1k more for nothing extra in terms of core features. ▶ Getting a cheaper one is not recommended as you face a lot of issues and generally these devices are not easily serviceable. So to avoid trouble, get a good one. I have tried many different brands like Havells, Prestige, Pigeon, etc but the experience was not good. I even got them repaired 4-5 times but now all are lying in the scrapyard.

This induction was purchased on 9 th September 2025. It was working perfectly till now. However it is not heating up. When I got the induction it was in a plastic bag inside a box. I called customer care telling them there was no manual or any guarantee card. They told me since I bought it on Amazon i don't have to worry. Let see what happens when I call them tomorrow.

I bought this 2 times in amazon. I was impressed on speed of heat on my first purchase. Hence went for this second one. Thought of purchasing the next model which have capacitive touch which is 250 more than this price. But just ignored that because of capacitive touch may not work well with wet hand which is very common in kitchen. Compared previous 1600watts vguard induction stove purchased 7 years back, its heating ultra fast just in 1000watts setting compared to 1600 watts setting in old induction. Price is 50-80% higher for this compared to other brands with similar wattage and features. But i believe its worth for the efficiency. For durability, time has to tell how it withstands high heat in long term Its not just this packaging is not good, most of the packaging is getting worse day by day. Though product is very good, delivered without damage, packaging is getting worse day by day. It is not even packaged. Just delivered with the same OEM box not even without seal or tape the box open. Edit #1 There will be a lamination on top of control buttons. For my second purchase found lamination on the button section had lot of bubbles. Thought that is a manufacturing defect and returned the items since replacement was not available at that time, placed third order. It was a great disappointment. this also Delivered in OEM box, Full of scratches and dents on box, (was like used and returned package), Inside carton box, Cushion cartons was also damaged. It was completely like a returned item and minor scratches on the button panel. I dont mind using the returned product as long as it is good, but the same lamination defect i mentioned is exist in this piece as well. It looks like this defect is pre existing in the pieces manufactured in a specific batch Philips quality is getting degrade day by day for this model

It's good👍

Very good induction cooktop. Nice working. Smart look

fter 1.5 years of flawless use, this product is now failing. I'm disappointed because I trusted this brand's reputation. Since the 1-year warranty has expired, I'm out of luck. Lesson learned: always prioritize products with extended warranties in the future.
