Bajaj vs Pigeon
Which Induction Cooktops should you buy?
Bajaj ICX 160TS Neo 1600W Induction Cooktop
Pigeon by Stovekraft Cruise 1800W Induction Cooktop
Final Verdict: Bajaj ICX 160TS Neo 1600W 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 Pigeon?
The Pigeon Cruise is the new Budget Pick — Amazon's #1 best-selling induction cooktop in India at just ₹1,699, with by far the largest review count of any product in this category (75,908). The rating (3.7★) is honestly the softest of our picks, so treat this as "cheapest that works reliably enough" rather than the best all-round choice — the Prestige PIC 20 above is a stronger buy if ₹600 more is within budget.
