The German brand AEG, founded at the beginning of the previous century, was engaged in the production of weapons during the war. Later, the company retrained and began to produce high-quality home appliances. AEG products are closely monitored at every stage of release.

Of the disadvantages of AEG products, the high cost should be highlighted, which can go up to 115,000 rubles. Of course, the quality and durability of hobs, which will last for many years, may well pay off, but the cost of this technique is still very high. Another disadvantage is the search for spare parts. They are either very difficult to find, or they are too expensive, sometimes it is easier to get a new stove.

AEG boards need proper care and proper use. You should not only constantly monitor the cleanliness of the surfaces, but also correctly install the unit in the worktop. To do this, it is better to turn to professional craftsmen who will cope with the task without any problems.

AEG offers a wide range of gas, induction and electric cooker models. Let's consider the most popular ones.

When buying a hob, it is recommended to pay attention to some details that will definitely come in handy when choosing.

First you need to decide on the type of technology. Hobs can be gas, electric and induction. Gas stoves are much cheaper than analogues. They heat food faster and consume fewer kilowatts, and consequently, the electricity bills will be much lower. If gas is installed in the house, it is recommended to purchase these panels.

Despite the external similarity, the principle of operation of these plates is different. The electric type first heats up the hotplate, and from its heat the pan and the food inside it are already heated. The induction hob immediately heats up the cookware, and it heats up the food.

Models and sizes differ. A standard four-burner stove has dimensions of 60 * 60 centimeters. For small rooms, a more compact version of 50 * 60 or 40 * 60 centimeters is suitable, such models are three- or two-burner.

The surface of the gas stoves is either enameled or steel. The enamel attracts with its low price and ease of care, but it is prone to scratches and chips.

Such panels look much more presentable, and the price is slightly higher than enameled ones. However, stainless steel is more demanding in terms of maintenance - fingerprints remain on it and you need to constantly wipe the surface. Stainless steel is often used for making and electrical models.

This material looks expensive, easy to clean and fits into any interior. The maximum application temperature is 300 degrees, which is why tempered glass is not used for electric cookers, which sometimes heat up to 750 degrees.

Induction and electric models are made of glass ceramics. This is a very expensive material with a presentable appearance. As a rule, such a plate is completely black, but there are also custom-made models with a pattern. This type is easy to care for and clean. The only negative is the complete intolerance of the material to sugar and salt. If substances come into contact with the hob, they must be removed immediately, otherwise scratches and white spots will appear.

Additional configurations include a timer, child protection, safety shutdown and residual heat indicator. The timer has two modes: the first one only gives a signal after a lapse of time, the second, together with the signal, turns off the selected or all hotplates. Child protection is activated by locking the panel and by pressing one button. A safety shutdown prevents the surface from overheating.

The residual heat indicator indicates a hotplate that has not yet cooled down, which could cause serious burns.

Reviews of AEG hobs are mostly positive. Customers as one say that cooking has become a real pleasure with such a practical, convenient and functional stove. The quality of the units is high, they are reliable and serve for a long time.

The appearance of the appliances is also very pleasing, the panels look stylish, modern and fit perfectly into the interior of any kitchen.

Both the quality of the materials used and the additional functions were noted with positive reviews. Thanks to the combination of all the advantages, AEG boards occupy one of the leading places in their niche.

Perhaps the only disadvantage of the technique is the high price, especially in comparison with hobs of other brands. However, you always have to pay more for high quality and reliability.
