Electric stoves today are not the same dull monsters who once crowded in the kitchens of dormitories. Now on the market dozens of models are presented, competing with each other in their grace and functionality. We present you the ranking of the best electric stoves of 2017-2018. It only popular high-quality models that will be appreciated by any hostess.
What are the parameters to choose an electric stove?
The size
The parameter is selected for the existing kitchen set and taking into account the free space in the room. Classic floor models traditionally make a height of 85 cm, which is explained very simply - the stove must be flush with the table top. As for the width and depth, the most common version is 50 x 60 cm, models for small kitchens are 50 x 50, for large 60 x 60 cm. Usually, the larger the plate, the more functional it is and it is more convenient to use it.
Hob material
- Enamel. Practical, inexpensive, different color options are available. However, this coating is afraid of chipping, it may be susceptible to corrosion.
- Stainless steel. Such electric stoves are durable, reliable, attractive in appearance, are not afraid of mechanical damage and rust. Among the shortcomings: requires careful care with the use of special tools, a higher price.
- Glass ceramics. The most modern and stylish option. The surface of the table is perfectly flat and smooth, it is fairly easy to clean (with a sponge or scraper), it withstands very high temperatures, quickly heats up and cools down. If you look for flaws, it can be noted that it is quite realistic to break glass ceramics, although you need to seriously try for it.
Type of burners
- Classic cast iron. Such elements are characteristic of enameled plates or with a stainless steel table. There are standard "pancakes", fast heating (red circle in the middle) and even automatic (white marker). The advantage is low cost, the disadvantage is slow heating and cooling.
- Rapid (Hi-Light). The most common option for glass-ceramic plates. Heating occurs due to the incandescence of the helix, and much faster than the cast-iron burners. Minus - the surface is very hot.
- Halogen. In this case, special lamps are used. Efficient, but more expensive and less reliable option compared to the previous one.
- Induction. Electric stoves and cooking surfaces with such hobs are considered the most modern and advanced, and therefore deserve a separate detailed review.
Oven and its functions
In modern electric stoves ovens are divided into two main types:
- Classic. They use static types of heating - top, bottom, both at once. Most often, an additional element is the grill, which can work in combination with a spit or without it.
- Multifunctional. In this case, the heating modes are much larger, the baking process is much more efficient and diverse. There are convection functions for uniform distribution of hot air. If the fan is supplemented with a ring heater, so-called 3D heating becomes available, with the possibility of cooking at several levels. For multifunctional ovens, such modes as defrosting, “pizza”, accelerated or gentle heating, etc. can be characteristic.

Cookers, electric in particular, are a kind of “fad” of the famous Slovenian company Gorenje. It's nice that such a serious manufacturer does not limit its range only to expensive models, but is able to present a version, as they say, for everyone. Design E 5121 WH-B - classic, color - white, dimensions (W × H × D) - 50x85x59.4 cm. The plate is made soundly and efficiently. The enameled top is equipped with 4 cast-iron "pancakes": 2 standard, 1 burner with express heating and 1 with temperature limiter. There is a metal cover to protect the cooking table during idle time and the wall from splashing during the cooking process. The oven is by no means primitive: the unique vaulted shape of HomeMade, an impressive volume is 68 liters, the coating is high-strength pyrolytic SilverMatte enamel. Functionality: lower, upper heating, both at once (classic), large and small grill, AquaClean steam cleaning function. Main advantages:

Well, previous nominees from leading European companies raised the bar quite high. However, almost perfect functionality and status of the brands could not but affect the price, which not everyone is willing to pay. It is good that there is a notorious middle class, the bright representative of which is the electric stove of the Czech manufacturer Mora Moravia. The design is not that simple, rather classic or even conservative. White colour. Under the glass-ceramic hob there are 4 spiral burners: 2x18 and 2x14.5 cm, 1.7 and 1.2 kW respectively. For each, a residual heat indicator is provided. The multifunctional oven is designated by the term BigSpace (volume - 62 l) and has a “oven” vaulted shape, which is not surprising, since Mora has been a member of the Gorenje group since 2004. Among the possibilities: traditional heating, large and small grill, convection, heated dishes, defrosting. Main advantages:
