PHILIPS Viva Collection HD4938/01 2100-Watt Glass Induction Cooktop with Sensor Touch (Black)

The machine is a marvel. First time started cooking and it is a breeze. One hour cook time was done in 20 min flat. Child's play. However only use triply from day one and watch all videos before operating the cook top. Full value for money. Only need gas for rotis and that's it. Just go for it. Slightly expensive here but it is still worth it. The on/off light does not stop blinking after off to inform of supply so don't get confused. Wasted lot of time to understand this point. Be careful not to rub only lift and keep utensils. Always keep the bottom of utensils clean to avoid scratching the surface. Most important no gas in kitchen so no heat and sweat. Keeps you fresh. Non negotiable point to buy this Cooktop.

Nice product, working well rest will be reviewed later after long use

The world we grew up in is changing. We are gradually moving from petroleum-based fuel to electricity, and more appliances today are designed to support this shift toward efficient electric use. This is a good quality product overall. I bought one in 2021 and another in 2026 . If you use the correct utensils and avoid running it continuously at maximum wattage, it performs very well. Keep the vents clean and make sure liquids don’t spill into the unit. With proper care and regular maintenance, it should last a long time without any problems. Another positive point is that spare parts are reasonably priced, which makes maintenance easier if anything needs replacement later. Overall, it’s a reliable product — you can go for it with confidence.

Excellent and very durable product. Using since last 2.5 years , it didnt require any maintenance. Value for money.

Going by the brand name we purchased this product which was delivered on 29th April 2026, however on the first use itself there was current in the cookware while cooking. Despite our complaint the issue was closed by Philips without any resolution of the issue, showing ignorance to consumer safety.

I have been using this induction since 5years ..very good product.only two minor issues..the printed numbers on the glass for touch fade away totally with time .they should be somehow written beneath the glass And the white plastic on the top side cracks..may be if you put a bit heavy vessel on it.Rest it's Too gud...I'm totally happy with the performance.thanks amazon n Phillips.

Overall a very good product bit price is little bit higher

Another addition to the kitchen with induction cooktop from this brand, and coming from HD4928, this is definitely an upgrade with touch buttons, elegant design, and full glass top. All my HD4928's malfunctioned due to water seepage inside from the joint between glass and control panel. This particular model, HD2938 with full glass top addresses the issue to some extent. ••••••••••••••••••• 🎁 INSIDE BOX ••••••••••••••••••• → Induction cooktop → Safety leaflet → User Manual Cord length: 1.5 m approx Max power: 2100 watts Warranty: 1 Year •••••••••••• ➕ PROS •••••••••••• 1. Stylish & durable cooktop for the kitchen with full glass top 2. Works great with lots of preset options for cooking 3. Works with a good range of iron/magnetic base cookware, bottom diameter 12-20cm 4. Touch buttons are easy to operate and red led above each button indicates the option selected 5. Manual mode in any induction is kind of a blessing to have full control over the cooking process. This ones the most used mode in my kitchen 6. Many preset modes can also be adjusted as per the required temperature and cooking time. 7. +/- can be used to adjust both temperature and timer 8. Childlock feature, which can be used to prevent accidental presses. This thing is a blessing for lets say milk boiling, to prevent spillage due to accidental press and high power leading to sudden rise of milk levels 9. Theres direct shortcut to sim/boil/reheat milk or water •••••••••••• ➖ CONS •••••••••••• 1. This model slips a lot on the platform as there are no rubber shoes on the 4 legs. I don't understand the reason behind omission of such an important thing. Brands PMs really need to think through. 2. Didnt like the red LEDs above all buttons, it could have been made more aesthetic for such a premium device. Theres a big tranparent zone for every LED on the glass top and you can actually see those 10mm Red LEDs, which actually looks ugly. In this era of SMDs, they are still using 10mm ones. 3. Price is on the higher side for not much of feature upgrade from HD4928. Could have been better designed. For these cons deducting one star. So a 4-star ★★★★ device. ••••••••••••••• USAGE TIPS ••••••••••••••• → Use utensils with induction base only. Normal steel utensils also work but are very less efficient. Aluminium ones won't work here. → The glass plate gets hot during usage. Handle it with caution. The residual heat indicator remains on to show the status of heat. → Use child lock to prevent accidental touches, which may lead to improper cooking or even a disaster. These touches are not just limited to children. → Keep vents clean and have sufficient space around induction, for it to have proper forced air circulation. It's an important process to keep the internals cool as its all electronics inside. ••••••••••••••••••••• IMPORTANT ADVICE ••••••••••••••••••••• → Never ever let liquid spill on the induction. It's the major cause of failures in the cooktops. Even though they have addressed that issue in this model, by having full glass top, but still theres a small overlap of 5-7m on both ends of glass, which may lead to water or liquid seepage and damage the electronic circuit there. •••••••••••••••• 🏆 VERDICT •••••••••••••••• This goes by the name and will not disappoint wrt quality and performance of the product. Its one of the best inductions in the market, both looks and functionality wise.
