Wonderchef Smart Chef
₹3,999
The Wonderchef Smart Chef appears to have been renamed or discontinued — Wonderchef's current 2000-2200W induction line uses 'Swift' branding. At ₹3,999, even when available, it competed weakly against Philips HD4938 at the same price with stronger India service network. If you can't find an active listing, the Wonderchef Swift 2200W (2200W, 8 power settings, touch) is the spiritual successor.
