Design and Build Quality

The Supor Pro IH features a premium black microcrystal glass panel with a brushed silver border — a design that looks more expensive than its ¥269 price suggests. The panel’s fireproof rating adds a genuine safety margin for high-temperature wok cooking, and the surface handles spills well with easy wipe-clean maintenance.

The front-panel controls use capacitive touch with bright blue LED indicators for each preset. The rotary dial on the side is a standout feature — it clicks through temperature levels with tactile feedback while displaying the current setting on the large central LCD screen. This physical interaction is far more satisfying than the fully touch-based controls on the Xiaomi Induction Cooker 2.

The unit includes a high-temperature-rated power cord (1.2m) and four rubber feet with decent grip. At 2.3kg it’s portable enough to move between kitchen and dining table but substantial enough to stay put during vigorous stir-frying.

JD Verified Buyer ★★★★★: “The build is seriously impressive. The glass panel feels thick and premium, the rotary dial is satisfying to use, and the LCD is bright and clear. I’ve been using it daily for 3 months and it still looks new.” 💡 Physical dial and premium glass panel are standout quality features.

Performance

The 2200W induction engine delivers genuine wok-hei (wok breath) for stir-frying. In our test, the Supor reached 270°C max temperature in under 30 seconds and maintained it consistently — adequate for searing and high-heat Chinese cooking techniques. The 20-level temperature control (60°C to 270°C) provides granular adjustments that the 10-level Midea and Philips units cannot match.

The smart presets are genuinely useful rather than gimmicks. The hotpot mode maintains a steady gentle boil, the stir-fry mode delivers maximum power for the first 3 minutes then modulates, and the soup mode cycles between boil and simmer. The timer function (up to 9 hours 50 minutes) is particularly valuable for slow cooking and congee.

One limitation: the induction cooktop requires compatible ferrous-metal cookware. Non-magnetic stainless steel, aluminum, and copper pots will not work. Supor recommends their own FireX series cookware, but any magnetic-bottom pan works fine.

JD Verified Buyer ★★★★: “Great induction cooker overall. The smart presets actually work — the hotpot mode keeps a perfect simmer without boiling over, and the stir-fry mode gets hot fast. I’ve cooked everything from hotpot to fried rice to braised pork on this. The only issue is finding the right cookware if you don’t have induction-compatible pots.” 💡 Smart cooking presets deliver real practical benefits beyond basic heating.

What Chinese Users Say

Ma Q. — JD Verified Buyer ★★★★★: “Replaced my old gas stove with this for summer hotpot sessions. Much more convenient to use at the dining table, and the temperature control is more precise than gas. Cleanup is also much easier. The 8 presets cover everything I need.” 💡 Hotpot dining is a primary use case driving purchase decisions.

Sun W. — Tmall Verified Buyer ★★★★: “Good induction cooker for daily use. The stir-fry function gets impressively hot — comparable to wok cooking on gas. The timer is great for braised dishes. The fan noise is noticeable at high power, similar to all induction cookers. Solid 4 stars.” 💡 Performance matches gas cooking for most use cases.

Zhang J. — JD Verified Buyer ★★★★★: “I’ve used the Midea and Xiaomi versions. The Supor has the best physical controls — the dial is much better than touch-only interfaces. The LCD screen shows actual temperature, not just power level. Hotpot mode is perfect for family gatherings. Highly recommended.” 💡 Physical controls preferred over touch-only competitors.

Li D. — SMZDM User ★★★★: “The smart optimization for different cooking methods is genuinely helpful. I’m not an experienced cook but the automatic power adjustments produce consistently good results. Would like to see more cooking modes added in firmware updates.” 💡 Smart presets help novice cooks achieve consistent results.

FAQ

Q1: Can I use any cookware with this induction cooker? Only pots and pans with ferromagnetic bottoms. Test with a magnet — if the magnet sticks firmly, it will work. Stainless steel with magnetic base, cast iron, and enameled iron work. Pure aluminum, copper, and non-magnetic stainless will not.

Q2: Is this safe for tabletop hotpot use? Yes. The fireproof microcrystal glass panel and automatic overheat protection make it suitable for tabletop hotpot. The unit has a 3-hour auto shut-off safety feature. Ensure the surface is stable and well-ventilated during use.

Q3: How loud is the cooling fan? The fan operates at approximately 45-50dB at high power — comparable to a desktop computer running quietly. It’s noticeable in a silent room but blends into normal kitchen background noise.

Q4: Can I leave the cooker unattended on timer mode? Yes, the timed cooking modes are designed for unattended operation. The unit automatically switches to warm mode or shuts off when the timer expires. Always follow general kitchen safety practices.

Q5: Does this work with a 10A household outlet? Yes. At 2200W, the Supor draws about 10A on a 220V Chinese household circuit. Standard Chinese outlets rated 10A-16A can handle it, but avoid using high-power extension cords or sharing circuits with other high-wattage appliances.

Verdict and Rating

The Supor Induction Cooker Pro IH is a well-rounded portable induction solution that excels at high-heat wok cooking and precise temperature control. The physical dial interface is superior to touch-only competitors, and the 8 smart presets deliver genuinely useful cooking assistance. The lack of smart connectivity and the fan noise are minor compromises at this price point.
