Buying a gas stove is associated with a number of difficulties. And the reason for this - a large number of proposals. Often you will learn about the shortcomings of the model only after its long operation. But it also happens that annoying trifles make it difficult to cook and care for a gas stove, which causes discomfort for the hostess.
In support of manufacturers of the CIS, we consider the pros and cons of gas stoves of Hephaestus and Darin trademarks. For a start, I would like to note that both brands are approximately in the same price category. These are bright representatives of the economy class. The most popular in each group are Hephaestus 3200-05 and Darina 1BGM441008W. These models will be considered.
| Options | Hephaestus | Darina |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Belarus | Russia |
| Oven capacity in liters | 44 | 50 |
| Number of burners | 4 | 4 |
| Dimensions | 50x57x85 | 50x50x85 |
| Additional functions | Timer, electric firing, gas control for security, lights, oven thermal indicator, drawer below | Electric ignition, gas control for security, oven lights, below utility compartment |
As can be seen from the table, both models have the same type of technical data. Additional features are not exhaustive and depend on specific modifications. To get a clearer idea about the operation of each of the plates, read the customer reviews.
Reviews on the results of operating models

| Electric ignition | Quickly fails | Damage may occur. |

Difficult choice in difficult conditions
As you can see from the reviews, each model has strengths, but lacks and disadvantages. To answer the question: “Hephaestus or Darina?”, You need to clearly understand how the stove will be used.
Factors affecting the choice of Darina:
- the small size of the kitchen;
- frequent use of the oven;
- Small children.
Darina is a compact stove, which is very convenient for a small kitchen. Almost all buyers have confirmed the good work of the oven. At a high level and the development of security systems (gas control and electric ignition), which is suitable for a family where there are young children.
Factors influencing the choice of Hephaestus:
- big family;
- active use of the upper burners;
- the need for an additional drawer.
Although there are many complaints about the work of the oven in the Hephaestus stoves, absolutely all customers are satisfied with the practicality of the top panel. On it volumetric pans are located, and it is possible to use at the same time 4 rings.
The final conclusion is: Hephaestus wins. And Darina is not on her way with gas stoves, where the priority is at cooking surfaces, and not at the ovens.
