Until recently, kitchen stoves were a single whole. The place with the burners was combined with the oven until the designers came up with the idea to separate them.
Since the appearance on the market of kitchen appliances, the electric hob has become more and more popular every year. Thanks to a modern control mechanism, a huge number of additional functions, as well as a fashionable design.
Types of kitchen electric hobs
Dependent – installed above the oven, with which it has a common power supply and control. The advantage of this type is the ease of selecting a set: the same type of panel and oven have a common design, handles, color. The built-in electric hob has a significant disadvantage: if the oven fails, the consumer will lose the entire set. In addition, the surface and the oven cannot be separated; you will have to make a choice in favor of the model offered by the manufacturer. Even if some functions are not needed.
Independent – works autonomously from the oven. The advantages of this type are obvious: you can combine, choose an expensive hob, as well as a budget-level oven. Or place such a set in different corners of the kitchen by mounting the oven in the kitchen drawer at the desired height.
Steel, enamel or glass?
When choosing a kitchen electric panel, pay attention to the material from which it is made.
The enamel electric hob for the kitchen has a low cost, but it is prone to damage and scratches, and it is difficult to clean it from dirt.
A stainless steel (steel) hob is more practical, easier to clean and can withstand heavy loads. But you will have to clean it with special means and often, since even fingerprints remain on the metal.
An independent glass-ceramic hob is an expensive option, but loved by many consumers due to its creative design, touch controls, and durability. However, such a plate is afraid of bumps, scratches, and can be damaged during careless use. Despite this, glass-ceramic is better than enamel and stainless steel in many respects.

GEFEST SVN 3210
Types of heating elements
Cast iron. Budget models with a round hob in the form of “pancakes”, which should be chosen because they are unpretentious in care and suitable for any cookware (except plastic). But over time, they lose their luster, look untidy. In addition, they are energy-intensive: they spend a lot of time on heating and cooling (they heat up up to 7 minutes, cool down up to 30 minutes).
Halogen. In addition to the spiral, they have a powerful halogen lamp. Such a burner heats up in a second, has a small inertia.
Hi-Light-system – common types of heating elements, consist of ribbon-like shadows. Reliable, easy to maintain.
Induction. The most progressive and effective, safe, because they heat the bottom of the dish at the point of contact, thanks to magnetic induction. The surface two centimeters from the burner remains cold. Provide instant boiling and accurate temperature. When choosing an independent induction hob, you need to consider that it is better for it to purchase special steel dishes with a perfectly flat bottom with a thickness of 4 to 6 mm.
Mechanics or sensor?
By type of control, kitchen hobs are:
mechanical;
sensory.
The touch-sensitive independent electric hob is easy to clean, just wipe it. Convenient location of various indicators: power on, blocking, extended zone activation, memory, additional functions. The built-in touch control panel saves space because it has a smaller footprint than a mechanical one.
However, the touch independent plate has one drawback: in the event of a breakdown, it is difficult to find and fix the malfunction.
Characteristics of electric hobs
Choosing a cooking independent electric panel for the kitchen is not a problem. There are a great many of them, they differ in shape, size, functionality.
The number of burners, their location depend on the model and type of heating element. The most common are quadrangular hobs, but there are also triangular, diamond-shaped, curved ones that are suitable for any kitchen. Also, the parameters of the cooking surfaces depend on the model.
All modern models have functional characteristics, are equipped with a residual heat indicator, a timer, a self-shutoff device and a control panel lock. A-class energy consumption and power distribution of the front and rear burners make them economical.
Additional functions
The main difference between an electric kitchen surface and a traditional stove is its functionality. What “chips” does this modern technology have?
The heating zone is variable: if necessary, an additional sector can be connected to the burner.
Auto-boil: the heating power increases for a while, then returns to the original value. After the liquid boils, the stove automatically reduces the temperature.
“Autofocus” function: an independent cooking surface determines the size of the dishes, if necessary, turns on an additional heating zone.
Standby mode: without dishes on the surface, electricity is not wasted.
Reheat Function: Reheats food in pots, pans, even plates.
A small burner on which a Turk is placed.
Timer: turns off the burners in time.
Stores the temperature sequence in memory.
It turns off as a result of spilling liquid on the surface.
Reads information about the diameter of the cookware: the built-in cooker will adjust the heating area to the characteristics of the cookware.

Electric hob: features of choice
As a rule, buyers make a choice based on design, color or price.
But there are criteria that also need to be evaluated.
Determine the shape, size of the kitchen surface.
Think over the design: will the black standard panel harmonize with the interior, or is it better to opt for a light one.
The number of heating segments, as well as their placement, is an important factor when choosing a stove. For a small kitchen, it is enough to choose a two-segment panel. For a family with children, an electric hob with four or more burners is suitable.
It is necessary to evaluate the parameters of the existing dishes, make sure that large dishes are optimally placed on the surface.
An analysis of the functionality will allow you to determine which modes it is better to do without, not to overpay for unnecessary characteristics.
Tips for choosing
Those who decide to choose a built-in electrical panel for the kitchen, you need to consider the following:
The installation of an independent hob is planned in advance. At the repair stage, it is better to take care of the quality of the electrical wiring, since the total power consumption of the burners sometimes reaches 9 kW.
For such a stove, you need to choose dishes with a flat, flat bottom, the circumference of which is not less than the diameter of the heating segment. Copper or aluminum products are also not suitable, after which traces remain on the surface.
Saving is a short-sighted decision, since such equipment is bought for long-term use. An independent recessed panel should be functional as well as perspective.

General recommendations for choosing a gas hob
Panels are very different and the simpler the model, the more affordable it is. But, now there are so many new products and it makes no sense to neglect some of them. By overpaying a very small amount, you will enjoy the benefits for many years. So, what advantages should the best gas hobs have?
Cooktop coating – in the most inexpensive versions, this is ordinary enamel. But, as many people know, washing it is still a pleasure. Especially if something ran away and burned. Then, such a coating is scratched over time, pieces of enamel break off and rust in these places.
Now there are alternative options on the market: stainless steel and glass-ceramic or tempered glass. The first of these options is quite functional, but the color, of course, is very amateurish. But glass-ceramic or tempered glass is much more expensive, but this is a very good option. It is very easy to wash such a stove, it is almost impossible to break it and the view remains elegant for many years.
Lattices – on the simplest models, they are thin, like twigs, and it is very inconvenient to wash them. Well, it’s just very inconvenient! They need to be soaked, then rubbed with a brush, which is very long, since there are a lot of twigs and they are interconnected by a net. But the more expensive models suggest a grid not continuous, but consisting of various blocks, and the configuration itself is better. They are flat, not round, which makes maintenance much easier.
Burners – a conventional hob is always equipped with simple burners, which differ only in size. But more expensive hobs have special burners that require accelerated cooking. That is, they light up not one circle, but two or three at once, at will. This is very convenient in terms of saving time.
Also, there are burners that operate at such a low speed that they completely replace the usual steam bath. The flame does not even appear from under the circle and simply cannot burn anything. There are also oval burners, on which you can cook in dishes of the appropriate shape.
Automatic gas cut-off function – irreplaceable if there are children or old people in the house who may simply not notice the smell of gas if the flame suddenly goes out due to the liquid splashed onto the disk. And in general, in our opinion, such a fuse will not hurt anyone.
Electric ignition – if you have it, you will not worry about the presence of matches or a lighter in the house. At the same time, they are also different. Some are made in the form of a separate button, while others are built right into the handle of the stove and the burner lights up with one turn.
Pens – some expensive models have handles that are always inside the case and only when pressed do they appear on the surface. By setting the desired mode, they can be returned to their original position again. These pens are a godsend! They don’t get dirty at all. After all, washing them is no more pleasant than a grate.
Special coasters for small dishes – on many models they are not available, therefore it becomes impossible to brew the same coffee in a cezve. Try to choose those where the stand is included in the kit.
What number of burners will be optimal for you. There is just about anything on the market right now! From single-burner models to seven-burner models. Of course, seven pieces is already too much for an ordinary family, and one is not enough. In general, the most convenient are four and five burners. But, by and large, it is simply impossible to advise something here, because it all depends on how and how much food you cook. If only scrambled eggs and sometimes pasta, then why not get an inexpensive and two-burner one? And, if you are at the stove every day and you have a large family, then it is better to take a surface with a lot of disks.
And below you can see the rating of gas hobs in 2022.
The hob is essentially an improved, well-known to all of us, kitchen stove. They can be of various types, the classification of which depends on the principle of operation or installation of equipment. Gas hobs come in tempered glass, stainless steel, glass-ceramic and enameled steel. I analyzed the market, studied user reviews and am ready to present you my rating of the best gas hobs of 2019.

A few words about the operation of the induction cooker
The induction hob appeared in everyday life after the discovery of the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. Electric current occurs in a closed magnetic circuit, while the hob does not heat up until you put special dishes with ferromagnetic properties on it.
Basically, if your enameled pot or cast iron skillet is attracted to a magnet, then they are also suitable for use on an induction stove.
There are several rules for choosing dishes for cooking on an induction hob or panel: in addition to the fact that all kitchen utensils must be attracted by a magnet, the bottom of the pan must be more than 12 cm in diameter and at least 2 mm thick.

Benefits of using an induction cooker
The most basic and distinctive advantage of an induction hob is its high heating rate.
Also, the induction hob is easy to care for. – you just wipe the surface of the device with a damp cloth or sponge. The usual stainless or painted surface of a classic stove in this regard cannot be compared with the glass-ceramic, which is usually covered with induction panels.
The panel itself does not heat up.this means that spilled food or pieces of food do not burn or fry on it.
Andinduction cookers and panels are more economical. They consume less electricity than conventional electrical appliances, because the entire burner, spiral or heating element does not heat up in the induction cooker. The current is consumed only to create an electromagnetic field in the coil.
Important:
All the stories that induction cookers are dangerous to health are nothing more than fiction, because the electromagnetic vortex field that this device creates is similar to that that occurs around a mobile phone. However, at a distance of 30 cm from the device, the effect of the field is not felt.

Choosing the right induction hob
Before talking about the most reliable manufacturers of this household appliance or finding out which model is considered the best, you should find out what induction hobs are.
By design, dependent and independent panels are distinguished. The first form a single whole with the oven. The latter, on the contrary, can be bought separately from each other.
You can also choose a hob with a different number of burners – from 2 to 4 or even more. It all depends on how intensively you cook.
The shape of the burners can also be different: round, different diameters, rectangular and even oval, for those who like to cook dishes in refractory pots and cauldrons. It is good when burners of different shapes are adjacent on the same surface, and a temperature maintenance zone is also provided.
You can choose a combined hob in which two burners will be induction, and two more – gas.
Rating of the best manufacturers of induction kitchen appliances
The flagship, innovator and founder of the production of induction devices is AEG. But today, on store shelves and on selling websites, you can find a huge number of induction hobs and cookers from other well-known world brands:
MAUNFELD (high quality and reliability)
Gorenje (budget and middle price segment);
Hansa (leader in the production of full-fledged induction cookers);
Electrolux (absolutely all price segments);
Zanussi (pricing policy absolutely accessible to the average consumer);
Siemens (premium models);
Lex (available models at affordable prices);
Bosch (quality and reliable).
Difficult to compare models from different manufacturers, because each company relies on something different from its competitors – design, dimensions, additional functions, etc. Well, now, let’s take a close look and discuss the best induction hobs.
Results
We told you how to choose an induction hob and presented a rating of the best models of 2022 according to customer reviews. And you understand that it is not difficult to make a profitable purchase. Treat yourself to a quick and easy cooking process, and your household with delicious and mouth-watering dishes with the new induction assistant.
To make it easier for you to choose, I studied expert reviews, user reviews and selected the 7 best electric hobs in 2022 in terms of price-quality ratio for rating. As it turned out, in the case of hobs, you can and should save. The proof is the leader of our rating.
When choosing a hob, attention should be paid to the number of burners and dimensions (interrelated criteria), the diameter of the burners, the possibility of expanding the heating zone, the type and ease of operation, the presence of additional functionality. The list also includes brand preferences, but as the market analysis showed, all manufacturers offer fairly high-quality equipment.
Table of participants in the rating of electric hobs 2022
GEFEST SVN 3210
Characteristics
Dimensions (DxWxH): 52x59x7.8 cm.
Surface type: enamelled.
Number of burners: 4.
Special burner: express.
Power: 5.5 kW.
Switches: rotary.
I’ll start from the fifth place, which is occupied by GEFEST SVN 3210. This hob is in the inexpensive price range, comes in standard white and has an enamel finish. She has 4 burners of different sizes – 2 large and 2 medium. Their heating is carried out by a spiral, and they themselves look like “pancakes”. For the convenience of cooking in dishes of different diameters, the burners are arranged in a checkerboard pattern. The far big one works at increased power in express mode. The total power of the burners is 5.5 kW.
The control panel is moved to the right side. It is represented by four rotary switches. The heating power of each burner can be adjusted in 6 positions. And while the surface is working, the indicator light turns on. This simple electrical panel of a solid assembly is still inferior to the rest of the rating models in terms of equipment and quality of heating.
Hansa BHC63313
Characteristics
Dimensions (DxWxH): 52x59x5 cm.
Surface type: glass-ceramic.
Number of burners: 4.
Special burner: no.
Timer: no.
Power: 6 kW.
Fourth place goes to Hansa BHC63313. This hob is made of black glass ceramic. It is equipped with four heating zones – ceramic burners, working on HiLight heating technology. Unlike the traditional spiral, which is used in the first model, a tape is implemented here – a thin spiral made of a special alloy of metals with a high level of resistance. It provides very fast heating – in just 10 seconds, makes cooking more comfortable, simplifies the care of the panel. Other models are also equipped with this heating technology, which I will talk about later.
There are 4 burners on the surface – two with a diameter of 20 cm and two with a diameter of 16.5 cm. The control panel of this model is touch sensitive. It is located in the center at the front. Using the buttons, you can select the heating zone, power, and also block the control. This prevents accidental changes to parameters.. And since the buttons do not protrude above the surface, care is also facilitated.
When the cooking zone is switched off, the residual heat indicator turns on. The “H” sign indicates that the surface has not yet cooled down. It turns off when the temperature drops to 50 degrees and there is no more risk of getting burned. All models of this type are endowed with such a security option.
Kuppersberg ECS 402
Characteristics
Dimensions (DxWxH): 52x45x5 cm.
Surface type: glass-ceramic.
Number of burners: 3.
Special burner: dual circuit.
Timer: yes.
Power: 5 kW.
Third place goes to Kuppersberg ECS 402. This glass-ceramic hob is equipped with three burners. Two of them are of standard sizes – a large one with a diameter of 20 cm and an average of 16.5 cm. Their power is 1.8 and 1.2 kW, respectively. The third burner is double-circuit. It has two heating zones – a small one with a diameter of 10 cm and a power of 1 kW and a large one with a diameter of 20 cm and a power of 2 kW. Thanks to this burner, functionality is significantly expanded. You can install both small dishes, such as a saucepan or ladle, and large ones on it.
It is worth noting an important detail. Burners here with an expansion zone, in which the boundaries of the burner change according to the shape and size of the dishes. This is very important, because in the absence of such a function, the use of dishes of inappropriate sizes leads to burnout of the elements and subsequent uneven heating.
The choice of heating power of the burners can be adjusted in 9 positions, which is convenient to do with the touch slider. Additionally, the model is equipped with a timer that will turn off the heating after a specified time. And Another important function of the model is Stop and Go, which allows you to instantly stop heatingand then restart it again.
Haier HHX-C64DVB
Characteristics
Dimensions (DxWxH): 52x45x6.8 cm.
Surface type: glass-ceramic.
Number of burners: 4.
Special burner: dual circuit.
Timer: yes.
Power: 5.9 kW.
The second step is occupied by Haier HHX-C64DVB. This hob is made of black glass ceramic, like the previous one, but it is equipped with four burners. Two of them are medium in size, 14.5 cm in diameter and 1200 W, and one is larger in size 18 cm in diameter and 1800 W. And one burner has a double heating zone. It provides for two options for operation – with a power of 700 W or 1700 W with a heating diameter of 12 and 18 cm, respectively. And its location is especially convenient – in front on the left.
Touch control panel moved forward for easy setup. Here you can adjust the heating power of any of the burners in 9 positions, set the timer up to 99 minutes, and block the panel from accidentally changing settings. BUT The residual heat indicator will show if the panel is still hot and there is a risk of burning.
Separately, I want to highlight the design feature of the panel. It has a convex surface and bevelled edges. Therefore, it is easier to take care of her. The same function in the next Bosch PKE645BB2E model is performed by a stainless steel frame, which also gives it a more elegant look.
Bosch PKE645BB2E
Characteristics
Dimensions (LxWxH): 51.3×58.3×4.8 cm.
Surface type: glass-ceramic.
Number of burners: 4.
Special burner: dual circuit.
Timer: yes.
Power: 5.15 kW.
The Bosch PKE645BB2E panel became the leader of the rating. This electric panel stands out for its original look. It is made of glass-ceramic and equipped with a metal frame with beveled edges. Also, this model differs from other panels in the power of the burners and their size.. There are four of them: two of them are small in size – 14.5 cm in diameter and 1.2 kW each, one large one – 18 cm in diameter and 1.8 kW. BUT this model also has an oversized double-circuit burner with a maximum diameter of 21 cmwhich is designed for a power of 0.75 and 2.2 kW.
This model also has touch control, but it differs from previous DirectSelect technologyin which to select the power level, you do not need to press “+” or “-” many times, but just specify a number. Moreover, the choice of power at this surface is possible in 17 levels. There is also a timer with which you can set the operating time for each burner and which will turn off the heating at the end of this time.
An important feature of the model is the ReStart function.. If there is an unexpected power outage, it will help you resume all settings. And another convenient element is the ability to turn off all working burners with one button.
The rating presents the best electric stoves of 2022 so that your future kitchen assistant gives only positive emotions and enriches the home menu with truly delicious dishes.

TOP-4 inexpensive electric stoves with enamelled surface
Enamelled electric stoves are cheap. The coating is resistant, several colors, unpretentious in care. But various contaminants adhere well to the enamel, and during operation it becomes covered with small scratches.
Flama CE3201-W
Opens the Flama CE3201-W rating with two burners and a 4L oven with a maximum temperature of 280°C. It has 4 modes of operation. Power can be adjusted with rotary switches. A drawer for dishes is provided.
low price – only 6700 rubles;

unreliable design of the Russian assembly. Some users note that the stove creaks and staggers. The seal on the dish storage compartment quickly leaves;
bad oven. It provides a stepwise choice of temperatures.
Flama CE3201-W is a simple compact model. The burners heat up quickly, all modes work fine. The oven is suitable for baking vegetables, meat, fish. But for baking cakes and pastries, it is unsuitable, since it is possible to set the temperature on it to either 200 ° C or 280 ° C. Because of this, the baked goods remain raw inside or burn. Therefore, for its preparation, it is better to take DARINA S EM 521 404 W, which will be discussed further in our rating. According to reviews, it evenly bakes the dough.
DARINA S EM 521 404 W
Another budget sample is DARINA S EM 521 404 W with two cast-iron burners that operate in 6 modes. Rotary switches are used to switch them. The oven has a volume of 45 liters. Its maximum heating is 270 °C. The oven door is made of simple double glass.
economical energy consumption. One burner consumes 1 kW.
no light bulb in the oven;
sharp legs with a small area leave dents on soft flooring.
DARINA S EM 521 404 W is an ordinary good stove for little money – 7550 rubles. It does not have any modern features, such as a timer, but it is enough for daily use by a small family. For a large family, De Luxe 5004.12e black with 4 burners is optimal.
De Luxe 5004.12
Electric stove De Luxe 5004.12e in black, dimensions – 50 × 85 × 50 cm. It is equipped with 4 burners of different diameters and power. The oven has a volume of 43 liters. Mechanical control. The price of the model is 8350 rubles.

low quality of the Russian assembly.
The De Luxe 5004.12e model is a compact full-fledged stove. Fits in a small kitchen, will help to prepare food for a large family. But its quality is questionable. During operation, the heating elements fail, the protective coating of the burners flies around. Therefore, it is better to overpay a little and take Belarusian-made GEFEST 5140 0031.
GEFEST 5140 0031
The stove has earned the “Customers’ Choice” mark on Yandex. Market. It has 3 burners of different diameters, a spacious oven for 52 liters. The oven is equipped with stamped guides that can withstand heavy baking sheets and lighting. The case for storage of utensils is mounted in the case.

narrow back apron. It does not protect the wall well from pollution;
inconvenient drawer for storing utensils. It has no bottom, all items are stacked on the floor.
GEFEST 5140 0031 for 11,500 rubles of Belarusian production is distinguished by reliability, simplicity and functionality. The presence of three rather than four burners seems strange. However, in real life, rarely does anyone turn on more than two at the same time. Burners of different diameters and power in order to rationally use electrical energy. The oven is standard, it does not have a grill or convection. But unlike the Flama CE3201-W model, it is suitable for baking. It provides 5 levels of installation of the baking sheet.

The oven has four operating modes. It has a unique thermal insulation, which creates the effect of a thermos, saves energy consumption.
burners heat up quickly;
economical energy consumption;
There is a residual heat indicator.
The oven does not operate at the correct temperature.
DARINA 1B EC331 606 W is an economical stove option. The customer gets a panel with residual heat indicators and fast heating, a double glazed oven and a stylish design. But there are complaints about the operation of the oven: it takes more time to cook the dish than usual. If you plan to use the oven often, then it is better to buy Beko FCS 47002 W, which quickly raises the temperature required for baking.
TOP 5 desktop electric stoves
A desktop electric stove is very useful in the country, in a student dormitory or at home, if the gas is suddenly turned off. Such a portable device is compact, equipped with powerful burners, has a wide range of functions.
Galaxy GL3054
Electric cooker Galaxy GL3054 consists of one burner with a diameter of 16.5 cm and a glass-ceramic hob. Power – 2 kW. Management – using buttons and a timer. 7 automatic cooking modes. There is protection against overheating.
affordable price – 1900 rubles;

anti-slip feet;
high heating rate of the burner.
small burner diameter. If you put a large frying pan or pot on it, it gives an error;
large power step.
Desktop cooker Galaxy GL3054 is a good solution for summer cottages. It is not suitable for everyday cooking. Firstly, the modes are designed for complete cooking cycles with automatic shutdown. Secondly, the power step is too large. The next model from our rating, Kitfort KT-107, has the same problem.
Kitfort KT-107
Electric stove Kitfort KT-107 with one induction burner. It has a safety shutdown feature that trips when it overheats. Automatic dish detection. The panel is made of glass-ceramic. The control is carried out by tact switches. In total, the stove has 8 power levels.

convenient, clear control. The control panel has buttons and LED indicators;
heats up quickly;
a large selection of basic functions.
power step – 300. Because of this, it is difficult to cook some dishes;
makes an unpleasant electrical noise during operation;
no power off button. The maximum heating power does not correspond to the nominal value. 1800W tiles = 1300W electrical;
fastidiousness to dishes: it is necessary from a ferromagnetic material.
The Kitfort KT-107 induction cooker is modern, budget (its price is 2400 rubles), easy to operate. It takes up very little space, so it can be easily hidden in a closet. Of course, it will not work to cook constantly on it, since the middle of the pan heats up very much, and the edges remain cold. You need to buy special dishes. In order not to do this, it is better to immediately overpay a little and buy an ENDEVER DP-43 tile. You can use any pans and pots with it.
ENDEVER DP-43
Electric stove with one burner with a power of 2 kW. The panel is made of glass-ceramic. Touch control. There is a display that shows the selected parameters. There are functions of the timer, blocking of management. There are 7 basic cooking modes.

short network cable. The stove must be installed near the outlet;
noisy fan.
For 2750 rubles, the ENDEVER DP-43 stove justifies all operational expectations. Even the steak on it turns out to be excellent, not like an ordinary scrambled egg. Perhaps this is due to the smooth adjustment of power. For example, the first stove from our Galaxy GL3054 rating has a large power step, so dishes often burn.
GEFEST PE 720
Electric hob GEFEST PE 720 with two burners of different diameters. It has an enamel finish. Mechanical type control – rotary switches. The power consumption of the stove is 2700 watts.
heats up quickly;
compact. Dimensions – 50 × 34.5 × 9 cm.
uncomfortable management. The model is equipped with turn signals: they must be installed in the desired position according to the markings;
traditional design. The style of the stove is irrelevant for modern kitchens.
The GEFEST PE 720 panel will replace a conventional electric stove, as it has two burners. It quickly and evenly heats the dishes. However, compared to the ENDEVER DP-43 model, it is outdated. This also applies to functionality. No cooking modes, timer. Power can be adjusted with knobs, but the markings are hard to see. The design also leaves much to be desired. 3 thousand rubles for such equipment is a little expensive.
Xiaomi Mijia Mi Home Induction Cooker
The Xiaomi Mijia Mi Home Induction Cooker induction cooker is made of white glossy plastic. The price is 4,500 rubles. The working surface is a circle of tempered glass, in the center of which is a thermometer showing its exact temperature.
The tile can be controlled both manually (there are two touch buttons. A rotary knob with a display button) and through the application (from a smartphone or other mobile device). Five operating modes are provided.
control via smartphone is possible;
accurate temperature control;
uniform heating of the burner;
the ability to create your own programs / modes.
Difficulty connecting to a Wi-Fi network;
the Mi application is “raw”;
does not handle high temperatures well.
If the GEFEST PE 720 stove can be called outdated, then Xiaomi Mijia Mi Home Induction Cooker is a modern technique for advanced users. It can be recommended for cooking any dishes. It is convenient to use it: you can control it from your smartphone, however, the application is only available in Chinese.

Minuses:
according to independent reviews, the main disadvantage of the stove is the inconvenient placement of a large ceramic burner. She’s moved a little to the side.

it is in this model that the control knobs often melt.
Model for private houses or apartments, where there are frequent interruptions in the supply of one of the main sources – gas / electricity. Designed for operation in an average family of 2-3 people.
