Color spectrum
Recently, many customers do not limit themselves in choosing kitchen sets and countertops, preferring original colors and textures. That is why many manufacturers, in addition to the classic black and white hobs, began to produce options with a non-standard design. So, the Gefest brand offers beige shades of hobs, brown, white with a brown or blue pattern, with a wood pattern, marbled, with a picture of a clock, as well as silver and green items. Even the most fastidious customer will be able to choose their hob among such an assortment.
Secrets of choice
Before purchasing a hob, we recommend that you consider some criteria for its selection, as well as expert advice.
- If you are hesitating between a gas and an electric stove, then everything is quite simple. If a private or apartment building involves the use of only gas, then the gas panel may well save electricity. But even here, you can still give preference to the electric option. This is due to the fact that current hobs (touch) are more convenient and modern than gas ones.
- When buying, it is very important to consider the material from which the panel is made. So, the most stable and durable are enameled panels, ceramic, made of glass ceramics, as well as tempered glass options. However, it is worth noting that glass ceramics will have to be very carefully looked after, this material is incredibly fragile.
- When choosing gas models, special attention should be paid to the grilles. So, they are cast iron and steel, many experts agree that it is cast iron that lasts the longest. Also, the grill can be solid or consist of 2 parts. Here the choice already depends on personal preference.
- Size matters. For small kitchens, it makes no sense to purchase bulky models of hobs, which are 80 or 90 cm. Models up to 60 cm with 2 burners look quite advantageous. They look very neat and don't take up extra space.
- Trusting the installation of the hob is best done by professionals. Despite the fact that the company always provides carefully written instructions and a passport for the panel, it is necessary to entrust such work to those who do it regularly. Moreover, correct installation in the countertop will avoid a number of mistakes and unplanned breakdowns during the operation of this kind of equipment.
- Choosing a hob from one brand, it is best to immediately buy an oven for it in the kit. In order to save space, it can be placed under the panel or in isolation, in a separate kitchen cabinet, as provided by modern kitchen interiors.
- Giving preference to induction hobs, it is worthwhile to understand that special dishes must go to them. Conventional products for gas or electric stoves, after heating on an induction device, can simply fail.
- It is very important to clean any built-in hob with a non-aggressive cleaning agent, using a separate sponge and cloth.
Summing up, we can say that Gefest hobs have received a lot of positive feedback from customers and specialists for several years now. They really correspond to all the declared characteristics, do not break down over time, and are also very profitable in price. Small minuses are more than covered by pluses. For example, as a disadvantage, it is noted that in some models the oven bakes dishes unevenly, and after several years of use, problems arise with turning the knobs of the burners. However, these are isolated negative responses, mainly the products of this brand are preferred by many people.
