Cooktops from leading manufacturers: whom to prefer

For several years, home appliance manufacturers have been tempting us to break free from the cumbersome traditional stove, replacing it with a compact hob. Such a replacement makes sense in the event that you prefer home baking shop.Now you can buy excellent cakes, cookies or pizza, so the oven, which is part of the traditional plate, becomes a useless addition. And it takes a lot of places.

So, you firmly decided to throw out the "box" from the kitchen. Go to the store and see there a huge amount of cooking stoves of various brands of glass, stainless steel and ceramics, gas and electric. Are you confused? No wonder: the choice of home appliances has now become the biggest problem for the buyer.

Manufacturers in a competitive environment are trying to race to impress the consumer with an unusual design, a wide range of functions, sometimes fantastic. But the buyer is getting wiser: most of us have learned to shop rationally. We first carefully study the information, then go to the store to study your favorite thing at close range, and then we order it treacherously from the online store.

What exactly do manufacturers offer instead of ordinary plates?

Gas hobs

Hansa

The company is one of the market leaders in cookers and hobs. It produces an extensive list of models of such technology. The most popular hob of this brand is Hansa BHG63100020. It attracts the attention of a successful combination of retro design with modern technical characteristics.

Hansa BHG63100020 is a four-ring independent recessed panel. The diameter and power of the burner are different from each other:

• the largest - with a power of 2.6 kW - has a diameter of 9 cm;
• two burners with a capacity of 1.65 kW in diameter are 6.5 cm;
• the smallest burner with a power of 1 kW, its diameter is 4 cm.

The panel assembly is European. It should be noted that Hansa BHG63100020 attracts customers not only with its design and characteristics. The low price plays a significant role in its popularity: the cost of a panel from Hansa is only 6,000 rubles.

Ariston

The attention of buyers deserves the model Hotpoint-Ariston PZ T GH. Unlike most models, it is equipped with a high power burner - 3.5 kW. "Triple Crown" - so called this ring. It has three rows of flame that provides the most uniform heating of the pan.

Power of the other three burners are 3, 1.65 and 1 kW. The panel is equipped with gas control and automatic ignition. The grates of the burners are made of cast iron, and the burners themselves are protected from mechanical damage by a durable nickel-chrome coating. Produced Hotpoint-Ariston PZ T GH in Italy, costs from 9 to 112 thousand rubles.

Gorenje

A company from Slovenia does not involve designers with big names in the development of its products, so you will not hear the expression “Slovenian design” (unlike Italian or Swedish).

But, nevertheless, industrial designers of this company perfectly cope with their task, giving the product originality and a certain charm. Hob Gorenje GC650KR - a visual confirmation of this.

The model looks very stylish: a white base with black bars (for each burner has its own).

Electricity instead of gas

If there is no constant gas supply, or the user simply prefers to use electrical equipment, he can purchase an electric hob. They are produced by the same manufacturers, so the quality of the products will be as high.

Electric panels differ from gas in the absence of the usual burners: they are only marked on the surface.

Gorenje ECT 6 SYB

All "burners" models are of the type HiLight (fast warm-up). The most powerful in this panel (2.2 kW) has a double heating field. Heating zones in diameter are 12 and 21 cm.The back burner with a capacity of 1.7 kW also has double heating (12 and 17 cm).

The two remaining burners with a capacity of 1.1 kW each have a heating zone with a diameter of 14.5 cm. An indication of residual heat is provided for each working zone.

BOSCH PKN 685N14E

A seventeen-step glass ceramic cooktop will allow the user to cook food in a high-precision temperature mode. All four burners have two heating zones and oval extensions. The latter are activated by touching the touch key located on the control panel.

The total power connection panel - 7.2 kW. Control sensors are placed on an aluminum base. It is also the main button off the device. The product is literally “stuffed” with automatics: in addition to the generally accepted ones, boiling automatics are provided in it, a protective shutdown during a long idle time.

In addition to well-known companies, the production of hobs are engaged, as we say, all and sundry. But our experience (sometimes sad) dictates that it is better to buy a solid company cooktop than to get yourself a source of chagrin for your hard-earned money.
