Which electric stove to choose

Most of the cookers in our review have a glass ceramic hob coating. It is stylish, practical and modern, but quite fragile. If you accidentally drop a knife or lid on it, it may crack. Thus, for careless use in the country or in a hostel, it is worth looking at the first three devices in the budget category. We also reviewed a good solution from Hansa, which you can take for your home.

The TOP of the best electric cookers in terms of price-quality ratio was headed by the model produced by Gorenje. But the companies GEFEST and BEKO almost did not yield to the leader, and in some ways they are even better. In addition, we consider the Belarusian brand to be the winner of the rating, although it was not easy for them in the confrontation with such popular brands as Hansa and Electrolux, which took the second and third positions, respectively.
