• Power or efficiency. Gas stoves are more economical and familiar. Electrics are the most powerful and boast a variety of software. Combi hobs combine efficiency, power and functionality, but they are the most expensive.
• Price range - one of the main factors when choosing, of course, will be the question of price. In any case, you will receive the highest quality product, the price will depend on the type of cooker, the way it is controlled, the dimensions of the cooker and its working areas, the amount of software and materials of execution.
