In this article we offer you to review the rating of the best gas hobs of the year. These are really the best models on the market of all that exist today.
In addition, you will find out which functions are essential for this technique and what to rely on when choosing a hob.
General recommendations for choosing a gas hob
The 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. Having overpaid a very small amount, you will enjoy the benefits for many years. So, what are the advantages of the best gas hobs?
Hob cover - in the most inexpensive versions, it 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 on the market there are alternative options: stainless steel and glass ceramics or tempered glass. The first of these options is quite functional, but the color, of course, is very for an amateur. But glass ceramics or tempered glass are much more expensive, but this is a very good option. It is very simple to wash such a stove, it is almost impossible to break it and the view remains elegant for many years.
Grilles - 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 a very long time, since there are a lot of twigs and they are interconnected by a grid. But the more expensive models assume the grid is not continuous, but consisting of various blocks and the configuration itself is better. They are flat rather than round, which greatly facilitates care.
Hotplates - a conventional hob is always equipped with simple burners, which vary only in size. But the more expensive hobs have special burners that involve 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 run so quietly that they completely replace the usual steam bath. The flame does not even appear from under the circle and nothing can burn. There are also oval burners on which you can cook in an appropriate shape.
Automatic gas cut-off function - indispensable if there are children or old people in the house who may simply not notice the smell of gas, if the flame suddenly went out due to the liquid splashing onto the disk. And indeed, in our opinion, such a fuse will not hurt anyone.
Electric ignition - if available, you will not worry about the presence of matches or lighters 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 directly into the handle of the stove and the burner ignites 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 again be returned to their original position. Such pens are just a godsend! Well they do not get dirty at all. After all, washing them is no more pleasant than a grate.
Special stands for small dishes - on many models they are not, therefore, it becomes impossible to brew the same coffee in cezve. Try to choose where the stand is included.
How many burners will be optimal for you. Now there is anything on the market! From single burner models to seven burner models. Of course, seven pieces is already a bit much for an ordinary family, and one is very small. In general, the most convenient are four and five burners. But, by and large, to advise something here is simply impossible, because it all depends on how and how much food you cook. If only fried eggs and sometimes pasta, then why not get an inexpensive and two-burner? And, if you are behind the stove every day and you have a big family, it is better to take a surface with a lot of disks.
And below you can see the rating of gas hobs of the year.

The best enamelled hobs
GEFEST SG CH 1210 K2
4-burner gas hob with enamel coating. The body of the equipment is made in silver, it is easily cleaned of contaminants. It has an enameled surface and 4 gas burners of different sizes, one of which is express comfort. Rotary switches are located on the front. Electric ignition makes the start of cooking quick and comfortable. The total power is 7600W. The upper grill is made of cast iron.

- Lack of gas control.
- At the largest burner at maximum, gas emits a squeak.
A simple and at the same time good and reliable hob, it is fully consistent with its price, which is . It does not have large dimensions, making it easy to fit into any kitchen. A significant minus I would call the lack of a gas control system that stops the gas supply, that is, if you accidentally flood comfort and the flame goes out, this system would automatically shut off the gas supply. This is a very important and useful security system.
DARINA T1 BGM 341 11 At
4-burner gas hob with enameled surface. The body of the equipment is made in black, it is easily cleaned of contaminants. There is also a model DARINA T1 BGM 341 11 W which is made in white and also looks very decent. Of the 4 gas burners of different sizes, one is an express burner. The switches are rotary, located on the side, which is very convenient when you have small children, this is different from the GEFEST SG SN 1210 K2 in which the switches are in front. The upper grill is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 8cm, width - 59cm, depth - 51cm, and weight is 7.3 kg.
Benefits:
- Color schemes and design.
- Enamel panel of good quality.
- Convenient panel layout with switches
- Not a high price.
Disadvantages:
- Lack of gas control system.
- The edges of the grid are rounded, you need to be careful.
Beautiful gas surface with very convenient switches located on the side. It is as compact as the GEFEST СГ СН 1210 K2, but it weighs even less than 7.3 kg. But alas, it also lacks a gas control system, and this is immediately a big minus. The cost of this panel is , and models in white ... It's fair to say that it looks very good in both colors.
Hotpoint-Ariston PCN 642 (BK)
4-burner gas hob with enamelled top. The body of the equipment is made in a beautiful matte black color, it can be easily cleaned of dirt. This model immediately differs from the previous ones in that its burners are located in a cross and not in a square. Of the 4 gas burners of different sizes, one is a high power express burner. The switches are rotary, located in the front, 2 each on the left and right sides. The furnace is equipped with a gas control system, which was not available in either the DARINA T1 BGM 341 11 At, or the GEFEST SG CH 1210 K2. The upper grill is made of enamelled steel. Dimensions: height - 10cm, width - 59cm, depth - 51cm, and weight is 7.3 kg.
Benefits:
- Unusual and stylish design.
- Gas control system.
- The surface is well cleaned and not scratched.
- Auto ignition works instantly.
Disadvantages:
- Due to this arrangement of the burners, the switches quickly heat up.
- Not the usual arrangement of the burners, but I think it's a matter of habit.
Hotpoint has really created a very high quality, modern and stylish panel. I think this approach to the arrangement of the burners is not standard, and in practice, because of this, in this particular hob, the switches are very hot. But in addition to the bright design, this stove has a very important function of gas control. In my opinion, safety in such kitchen appliances is very important, and this is a very big plus for this model. Its cost is 13.
Gorenje GW 65 CLB
4-burner gas hob with enamelled top. The body of the equipment is made in black, and to my surprise, this surface is quite problematic to clean. In this model, the burners are arranged in a cross as in the Hotpoint-Ariston PCN 642. Of 4 gas burners of different sizes, one is an express burner (WOK burner) with increased power. The switches are rotary, located in the front, 2 each on the left and right sides. The panel also has a gas control function. The upper grate is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 10.2 cm, width - 60 cm, depth - 51 cm, and weight is 7.3 kg.
Benefits:
- Nice appearance.
- The cast iron wire rack prevents the dishes from slipping.
- The handles do not get hot, unlike Hotpoint.
Disadvantages:
- Little space on the hob when cooking on 3 or 4 hotplates at the same time.
- The large burner whistles gas in some positions.
- Washes out after preparation is problematic.
Gorenje released a good panel, in which they took into account the shortcomings of the Hotpoint-Ariston PCN 642 model and corrected them, now the switch knobs do not heat up during cooking. But the burners are located so that you will have little space when cooking on 4 burners at once, in Hotpoint they are located more correctly. Of the advantages, I can note the presence of a gas control system. The cost of this model is 15.
Electrolux GPE 363 MW
4-burner gas hob with enamelled top. The body of the equipment is made in a light color, it is worth noting that after cooking the surface is washed without any problems. Out of 4 gas burners of different sizes, one is a WOK burner, it differs from ordinary burners with a triple flame, as well as a special cookware adapter, which is included in the package, Hotpoint-Ariston PCN 642 does not have such a burner. This allows cooking in cookware with a spherical bottom or in other large diameter dishes, besides, cooking time is significantly reduced. The switches are rotary, located at the front. The furnace is equipped with a gas control system and an electric ignition function. The upper grate is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 5.3cm, width - 59cm, depth - 52cm, and weight is 6 kg.
Benefits:
- Compact size and light weight.
- WOK burner.
- Dish adapter included.
- Gas control system.
Disadvantages:
- Price.
- Build quality. Switch problems. They break down and fall off quickly.
This model stands out from all of the above not only for its overpriced, but also for the presence of a special WOK-burner, which will speed up the cooking time at times. But I was surprised by the poor build quality from such a renowned company, it was not a pleasant surprise. But in general, this is a very good panel, having purchased which you will not regret your choice. The cost of this model is 16.
The best stainless steel hobs
GEFEST СГ СН 1210 К5
This model is practically identical with GEFEST СГ СН 1210 К2, with the only difference that our model is coated with stainless steel, and K2 is with enamelled coating. The 1210 K5 also has 4 burners, one of which is an express-burner. The switches are rotary, located at the front. The electric ignition makes the start of cooking quick and comfortable and works from the button. The upper grill is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 10.5cm, width - 59cm, depth - 52cm, and weight is 9kg.
Benefits:
- Affordable price.
- Convenient top grill.
- Dimensions.
Disadvantages:
- The lack of a gas control system, as in the GEFEST model СГ СН 1210 К2.
- The grille runs over the surface of the panel.
Not expensive and well-assembled panel. Most buyers don't need more, that's why this model has earned a lot of positive reviews and responses in the world. But of course she has the same drawback - the lack of a gas control system. The cost of this model is .
Weissgauff HGG 641 XH
Weissgauff's most advanced gas-on-metal panel is equipped with additional surface protection for maximum grille stability, and a beveled front panel for maximum ease of use. The front control panel angled not only makes access to the handles more convenient, but also protects them from heat. None of the previous models can boast of such a feature, this solution should be adopted by Hotpoint-Ariston, which has very hot switches in the PCN 642 model. Out of 4 gas burners of different sizes, one WOK-burner with a power of 3.5 kW, which creates three flame rings at once and allows heating even the largest cookware in the shortest possible time. Gas control of each burner provides the highest safety: if the flame goes out, the gas supply will be automatically stopped. Automatic electric ignition, independently built into each of the handles, will light any hotplate in a split second, with just one touch and turn of the hand, without resorting to additional devices. The upper grill is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 4cm, width - 58cm, depth - 51cm, and weight is 6 kg.
Benefits:
- The angled control position avoids overheating.
- Additional surface protection elements so that the grille does not slide out.
- Gas control system.
Disadvantages:
- Due to the shape of the gratings, what is placed on top swings in different directions.
A very good panel with a successful and laconic design, it will fit into the interior of any kitchen. Due to its low price, quality, gas control system and WOK-burner, this panel is in great demand among buyers. The cost of this model is 10.
Hansa BHGI63130
A good, stylish and solid gas hob that can compete with its more expensive competitors. Moreover, in terms of functional features, gas surfaces differ little from each other and the main roles are played by workmanship and external data. And with this, Hansa BHGI63130 is in complete order.
The model has an almost standard set for this category: 4 burners, one of which is an express burner with increased power, in the Weissgauff HGG 641 XH model, a WOK burner is built in instead of an express burner, this is a very important note. It also has an automatic electric ignition and a gas control system. Strong cast iron grates, withstand high temperatures and prevent the dishes from slipping.The required degree of heating is adjusted using the 4 rotary switches located on the front right. Dimensions: height - 10cm, width - 49cm, depth - 55.3cm, and weight is 9 kg.
Benefits:
- Decent workmanship.
- Easy to install and maintain.
Disadvantages:
- Lack of a WOK hotplate.
- Overcharge.
The cost of this model is 11... In my opinion, the price tag is too high, it does not stand out in any way from budget models for 7... I think it would be more correct to take the Weissgauff HGG 641 XH model in which new protection systems are applied, as well as there is a WOK burner.
Hotpoint-Ariston PCN 641 T IX
Italian 4-burner gas hob. The vehicle body is made in a beautiful gray color. Of the 4 gas burners of different sizes, one is a WOK burner, which differs from the usual with a triple flame.

A model of excellent quality with a beautiful design, with a gas-control system and a WOK-burner, this model has everything you need for cooking. But when cooking, there are always traces, and the surface of this panel is very easily soiled, all drops are visible on it. In addition, it is very prone to damage and scratches, so you need to be extremely careful. The cost of this model is .
Fornelli PGA 45 Tordo
The 3-burner gas hob is what immediately catches the eye and differs from all previous models in our rating. The vehicle body is made in a beautiful gray color. Out of 3 gas burners of different sizes, one is a WOK burner, which differs from ordinary burners with a triple flame. The required degree of heating is adjusted with 3 rotary switches at the front, 2 on each side. The electric ignition makes the start of cooking quick and comfortable and works from the button.

I would advise buying this appliance for those who have a small kitchen, this stove will easily fit there. The cost of this model is 16.
The best tempered glass hobs
LEX GVG 321 BL
A 2-burner gas hob, it immediately stands out from all previous models in our ranking. The vehicle body is made in a beautiful black color. 2 gas burners of different sizes, one of which is an express burner. The required heating level is adjusted using 2 rotary switches at the front. The electric ignition makes the start of cooking quick and comfortable and does not work from a button, as on the models above, but automatically. There are also "protective shutdown" functions and a gas control system. The upper grill is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 4cm, width - 30cm, depth - 52cm, and weight is 4kg.

- Beautiful design.
- Not large in size.
- Nice, large hotplate with high power.
- Affordable price.
Disadvantages:
- Only 2 burners.
- The coating gets dirty quickly.
- Poor quality handles on the front panel.
A very good model for the money. It is perfect for small kitchens because of its size.But if you love to cook, or you have a large family, you obviously do not have enough of only 2 burners, this will not give you convenience when cooking. But if this does not bother you, then the LEX GVG 321 BL model is a very good option, its cost is .
Fornelli PGA 45 Fiero
3-burner gas hob. The body of the equipment is made in a beautiful matte black color. Out of 3 gas burners of different sizes, one is a WOK burner, it differs from the usual with a triple flame. This model is almost identical to the Fornelli PGA 45 Tordo model, with the only difference being that the PGA 45 Fiero has a tempered glass coating. The required heating level is adjusted using 3 rotary switches at the front. The electric ignition makes the start of cooking quick and comfortable and works from the button. There is also a gas control system. The upper grill is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 4cm, width - 45cm, depth - 51cm, and weight is 10kg.
Benefits:

- Affordable price
- WOK stand included.
Disadvantages:
- Electric ignition does not always work the first time.
- Handles in front of poor quality.
- Inconvenient location of burners. The front is less powerful, and the back is more powerful.
The key difference from the LEX GVG 321 BL model is 3, not 2 burners and the presence of a WOK burner. This model, in my opinion, is more preferable, given that its cost is , but in my opinion it makes sense to pay extra and buy this particular model. It's also great for a small kitchen, but the ability to cook more food on it due to the number of burners clearly makes it a favorite of this pair.
Hansa BHKW61138
4-burner gas hob with tempered glass hob. The body of the equipment is made in light color, it is worth noting that after cooking the surface is not washed off so easily, and it gets dirty with every cooking. Of the 4 gas burners of different sizes, one is a WOK burner, it differs from ordinary ones with a triple flame, as well as a special adapter for dishes, which is included in the package, this model immediately differs from the previous two by the number of burners. Switches are rotary, located in front of the right side. The furnace is equipped with a gas control system and an electric ignition function. The upper grill is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 9.8 cm, width - 56 cm, depth - 48 cm, and weight is 10 kg.
Benefits:
- Filling of 4 burners.
- WOK burner.
- Adapter for cookware for a WOK burner.
- Not large in size.
Disadvantages:
- Price.
- Electric ignition is not triggered the first time.
- Over time, yellow appears around the burners.
- The gas hose is not conveniently located (it is made backwards, which is why it rests against the wall)
- The power cord comes out from the middle of the stove, which is also very not practical.
The model has more disadvantages than advantages. It does not at all correspond to the "German quality and practicality", starting from the location of the cable and the gas pipe, to the appearance of yellowness on the coating near the burners. I would not recommend this hob to you, except for 4 burners it no longer has advantages. The cost of this model is 11. In my opinion, it is better to purchase Fornelli PGA 45 Fiero with 3 burners, but it is made with higher quality and it is more practical and easy to install.
MAUNFELD EGHG 64.1CB / G
4-burner gas hob with tempered glass hob. The vehicle body is made in black. Unlike the Hansa BHKW61138, here all 4 burners are ordinary, not high power or WOK burners. Switches are rotary, located in front of the right side. The furnace is equipped with a gas control system and an electric ignition function. Another of its features is the ability to connect the panel not only from the main gas, but also from the gas in the tank, 4 Sourdillion nozzles for bottled gas and an instruction manual in Russian are included. The upper grill is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 5.1 cm, width - 59 cm, depth - 51 cm, and weight is 10 kg.
Benefits:
- Possibility of connecting from gas in a cylinder.
- The presence of 4 jets in the kit.
- Washes well after cooking.
Disadvantages:
- Lack of WOK-column.
- Electric ignition does not always work the first time.
For my money, and this is 13 this is a very nice panel.Despite the fact that it has 4 conventional burners, it surpasses the Hansa BHKW61138 in assembly quality and practicality. This is also the first model from our entire rating that has the ability to work from gas from a cylinder. This is very good and very convenient in practice. This model is definitely worth the money spent on it.
GEFEST SG SVN 2230 K11
4-burner gas hob with tempered glass hob. The vehicle body is made in white. Like MAUNFELD EGHG 64.1CB / G, all 4 burners are normal, not high power or WOK burners. Rotary switches are located on the side, on the right side. The furnace is equipped with a gas control system and an electric ignition function. By the way, the panel is quite bulky and it is not suitable for every kitchen, so for those who do not have a large area, this model will not fit exactly, and this is the main disadvantage of this panel. The upper grill is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 10cm, width - 60cm, depth - 53cm, and weight is 14 kg.
Benefits:
- Italian components.
- Washes well after cooking.
- Beautiful design.
Disadvantages:
- About 10 seconds you need to wait until the electric ignition works.
- Large size and weight.
- Not a universal panel.
The model turned out to be of fairly high quality, but because of its size, it is not suitable for every kitchen. It is bulky, but it can easily fit 3 pots and a frying pan at once. If the mestr allows you, then feel free to take this panel and you will not regret it, but if you have limited space in the kitchen, then I would advise you to take the MAUNFELD EGHG 64.1CB / G for 4 burners, or Fornelli PGA 45 Fierо for 3 burners. The cost of this model is 15.
Hotpoint-Ariston TQG 641 (BK)
4-burner gas hob with tempered glass hob. The vehicle body is made in black. She, unlike MAUNFELD EGHG 64.1CB / G, has 2 conventional burners and 2 high-power burners, which will significantly save time when cooking food. The rotary switches are on the front, two on the left and two on the right. The furnace is equipped with a gas control system and an electric ignition function. Unlike the above models, this hob has a cross-shaped burner, which at first seems not familiar, but then you will feel all the advantages of this solution. The upper grill is made of cast iron. Dimensions: height - 5cm, width - 60cm, depth - 51cm, and weight is 17.6 kg.
Benefits:
- 2 high power burners.
- silicone sealant between the glass surface and the metal base of the burner - grease, dirt and water will not flow there.
- Electric ignition is triggered almost the first time.
- Location of burners.
Disadvantages:
- Dimensions. Not suitable for every kitchen.
- To clean the burners themselves, you need to choose a cleaning agent, since conventional products create a matting effect, brighten the metal and do not wash away stains.
- Overcharge.
This model, like GEFEST SG SVN 2230 K11, is not a very versatile panel, which is not suitable because of its size for small kitchens. Also, when washing the burners, you will encounter the problem of choosing a detergent, and given the price of this panel, such problems should clearly not arise. The cost of this panel is , and I think that the price is clearly overpriced. I would recommend paying attention to the MAUNFELD EGHG 64.1CB / G, which is cheaper, has no such problems when cleaning and is universal in size and can fit any kitchen.
