Prestige Atlas Neo
₹1,999
The Prestige Atlas Neo is a 1200W entry-level push-button cooktop — its real value is inverter compatibility and elderly-friendly tactile buttons, not raw cooking power. At its typical ₹1,500-2,000 street price (despite ₹2,995 MRP), it's a sensible second cooktop or backup-for-LPG-shortage purchase, but not a primary cooktop for a 4-person Indian family.

✅ Buy this if
Inverter-equipped homes (1200W works on standard inverters), elderly users who prefer physical buttons, small families primarily doing milk-boiling and simmering
❌ Avoid this if
Heavy daily Indian cooking needing fast boil and high-heat frying — step up to Prestige PIC 6.1 V3 (1900W) or Philips HD4928 (2000W)

- Smaller 26cm pan area limits cookware compatibility
