Prestige PIC 20 Neo 1600W

Prestige's entry model, with one honest trade-off: 1600W instead of the 2000–2200W further up the range. Water boils in about 5 minutes rather than 3–4, and large pressure cookers build steam slower. For two or three people cooking one dish at a time, you'll rarely notice. For big families, get the PIC 6.1 V3 instead.

What you still get is a proper Prestige: preset Indian menus, timer, power saver technology — and an automatic voltage regulator, so fluctuations pause the cooktop instead of destroying it. Push buttons rather than a touch panel: less elegant, but they work with wet or oily fingers.

Requires induction-compatible cookware (magnet must stick to the pan's base). 1-year Prestige warranty, service centres across India. BIS certified. Free delivery. Costumer service.
