Pigeon by Stovekraft Cruise 1800W Review
The Pigeon Cruise 1800W democratizes induction cooking by delivering essential features at the lowest price point in this guide, starting from just Rs 1,200-1,500. Despite the budget positioning, it includes the same crystal glass cooking surface used in Rs 5,000+ models, ensuring durability and easy cleaning. The 7 preset Indian cooking menus cover everyday needs, and the 93% energy saving technology delivers the cost benefits of induction cooking without requiring a significant upfront investment.
Our Verdict
The Pigeon Cruise 1800W is the best budget induction cooktop at Rs 1,200-1,500 with 7 Indian presets, crystal glass surface, and 93% energy savings that make induction accessible to every Indian household. With 8,500+ reviews validating daily use reliability, it is the go-to for first-time induction buyers. The compromise is 1800W limiting heavy cooking, build quality reflecting the budget segment, and customer service that can be slow.

Students, bachelors, PG residents, or budget-conscious families trying induction cooking for the first time who want the absolute lowest entry price.
Consider Alternatives If
Families who cook heavy meals daily with large pressure cookers needing 2000W+ power, or those wanting premium build quality and advanced features.
