Best Portable Induction Cooktops in Australia (2026)

The TOKIT Razor is the precision pick. At just 20mm thick it barely registers on the bench, and the single rotary knob steps through 99 power levels, so you can nudge heat up or down by tiny increments instead of jumping between fixed settings. It runs to 2100W at the top end, but the clever part is the bottom end: a constant 100W low-power mode that TOKIT pitches for sous-vide, with a temperature sensor accurate to about 3 degrees. An OLED display and audio alarm handle overheat protection and no-pot detection, and the black crystal panel wipes clean easily. App control lets you adjust the cooker from your phone and tap into TOKIT's recipe community, though you can ignore it entirely and just use the knob. It accepts magnetic cookware from 120mm to 280mm, the widest range here. Amazon AU buyers rate it 4.3 stars across 547 reviews. It costs more than the simple touch-panel units, and there are no one-touch presets, but if you cook sauces, confits or anything that needs a steady low heat, the control is worth paying for.

The Aobosi is the budget pick that punches well above its price, and it's the unit we'd hand to most people looking for a first induction cooker. Where most cheap hobs give you a handful of power steps, this one offers 20 power levels and 20 temperature settings, so you can hold a genuinely low simmer rather than cycling between too hot and off. Six touch buttons cover temperature, power, a 10-hour timer, a child lock and a booster mode that runs at the full 2000W for ten minutes before dropping back to your previous setting, which is ideal for getting a wok or a big pot of pasta water up to speed. At just 4.2cm thick and 2.2kg it's one of the lightest units here, so it packs easily for a caravan or balcony, and the rounded edges and glass-ceramic panel wipe clean once cooled. It works with magnetic cookware from 12cm to 22cm in diameter, which is a little narrower than the Tefal. Amazon AU buyers rate it 4.5 stars across 749 reviews, and for the money it's hard to beat.

The ANHANE double cooktop is for the kitchen that needs two pans going at once, a bench top in a rental, a granny flat or a caravan, where a single-zone plate means cooking the rice and then the curry. Its two zones run at 1800W and 1200W from a standard 10A plug, each with its own touch controls and display, nine power levels and a temperature range from 80°C to 270°C. A timer runs to 120 minutes, there is a child lock and overheat protection, and a zone switches itself off if no pan is detected within 30 seconds. It takes magnetic pans from about 15 to 28cm and can sit on the bench or be dropped into a cut-out. The catch is control: nine steps per zone is coarse next to the precision hobs here, and the lowest setting of 80°C is too warm for gentle holding or sous vide. It ships from Amazon AU stock but is sold by a third-party seller, KJDQ-US, rather than a local brand with its own warranty desk. Amazon AU buyers rate it 4.6 stars from 49 reviews. It replaces the Tefal Dual Express, which Amazon AU now offers only as a used return.
