Final Verdict: Philips Viva Collection HD4928/01 2100W Induction Cooktop
Why choose Bajaj?
A straightforward budget induction cooktop from a well-known Indian brand. At ₹3,040, it's priced higher than the Prestige PIC 20 Neo (₹2,299) and has a smaller review base and shorter warranty. A reasonable pick if brand recognition matters more than getting the lowest price or the largest review history.
Why choose Philips?
The Philips HD4928/01 is the new Best Overall in this category — with 56,399 live reviews at 4.2★ and "Amazon's Choice" status, it is the most-reviewed induction cooktop we track that also holds a 4+ star rating (the budget Pigeon Cruise has more total reviews, but at a softer 3.7★), at a genuinely reasonable ₹3,599.
