Zanussi ZEN 6641 XBA

Advantages: UpDate: It took 3.5 years of operation. There are no problems at all, everyone is happy with the stove.

Disadvantages: - Beeps with any press, squeak, it seems impossible to remove.
- The fan is buzzing, not only on induction, but also on a conventional stove. The first time was even shocked that the stove was so noisy. Not that much, but still audible. But this is not a question of the plate, but of the technology itself. Therefore, my advice, listen first to how induction cookers work, then decide whether you need it or not. In the end, you won't get such a big difference in cooking speed. Because speed is important only until it boils, after which the plates work the same ...

Comment: So. What does Zen look like from Zanussi?
In this stove, for such money, there is everything that any hostess needs and even more.
Pros:
+ A thin steel frame around the edge does not interfere at all with using the stove, it is 1-2 mm high. At the same time, when the milk was running, it did not flow out of the plate.
+ 2 induction burners. One of them with the PowerBoost function is when you put a cold frying pan on a cold stove, and after 7 seconds food already begins to burn)))
+ 9 temperature conditions for each burner
+ Different diameters of the burners - suitable for almost any dish. And on the induction hob, you can put the dishes, even if the bottom is two times smaller, it still works.
+ Intellectual management !!!
This includes
+ timer, with the ability to turn off any hotplate from 1 to 99 minutes.
+ Heat maintenance mode for hot meals
+ Automatic mode! You set the temperature mode of cooking, for example, "3" and turn on "AUTO". The stove itself brings the temperature to the maximum (for example, water until boiling) and then transfers it to "3".
+ Induction hobs do not work if they are not worth the dishes. Or if it is not the one that is needed.
+ The stove itself turns off if none of the burners are turned on.
+ The touchpad does not turn on except fingers. If you hold or even poke a rag - does not respond. True, it reacts to a hot pan, apparently from the heat works.
+ If you put a thread on the control keys, it starts beeping, then it turns off. Same thing if you spill something on it.
+ Rings are reset to "0" with one touch. Many have complained, in other reviews, that they have to manually reset, for example, from "9" to "0", by pressing 8 times. This is not the case.
+ Control panel lock mode.
+ Guarantee from Eleсtrolux. This is one concern.
+ It is written on the plate: Made in Germany.
+ For the speed of induction and reliability of conventional burners. The price is only 10,000 rubles!
The cons are described above. I don’t know about reliability, short life.

Advantages: Two kinds of burners are great. Very simple control algorithm.

Disadvantages: I do not even know.

Comment: An induction cooker is just a plague! So no water boils on any stove. Cooking faster.Conveniently, as on gas - there is no residual heating of the burner.
At the same time, there is a pair of ordinary burners. It's comfortable. The mass of dishes is not intended for induction. For them, use the usual burners.
A stainless steel edging is a useful thing. If something all the same escaped from the pan, then it will not spread throughout the table and flow to the floor. The border will stop the flow.
More than a year has passed since the purchase. My wife does not rejoice. And I can’t get used to the fact that the soup can be warmed up faster than in a microwave and faster than the electric kettle boils.

Advantages: Induction hobs, convenient timer, beautiful

Disadvantages: For some reason, if both induction hobs are turned on, the signal of the mobile phone is muffled :). Sometimes a large induction hob snaps

Comment: Great cooker! A liter of water on an induction hob boils in a few minutes! Very convenient timer with shutdown function. You can set the required time and when it passes, the burner will simply turn off, though it will squeak for a minute, notifying. If you accidentally put a towel on the panel, it starts beeping (swearing) to be removed. This is not very convenient, for example, when you take a baking sheet out of the oven and you need to put it, you have to put the baking tray in half.

Advantages: Excellent performance, thoughtful design.

Disadvantages: Buttons react badly, especially the timer is inconvenient to set

Comment: The model is excellent. I chose with 2 induction rings, because did not trust reviews. If I bought it now, I would buy it entirely inductive, since I do not use regular burners! If there are no expensive dishes and are ready to change kitchen utensils - buy with all induction hobs.

Advantages: Two induction burners located in front, price out of competition

Disadvantages: Have not yet found

Comment: I strained a koment with burnt-out power boards, but when I took this plate, this assessment was not. I think Bosh repair will not be cheaper. I do not know if there is protection against voltage drops, but damage can be everywhere. The control of the stove is very thought out: from automatic shutdown, if you forgot to turn off the stove; when pouring the plate off too, there is a child lock. But it will be sad if a stove takes off when the e-mail is turned off in the house !!!

Advantages: Price, appearance, usability

Disadvantages: I did not find, if only a slightly noisy fan, but there is nothing to compare

Comment: I will join one of the previously written reviews: Indeed, I wanted a panel with conventional and induction burners, in case some dishes will not work on induction, I don’t use conventional burners, it's easier to replace the dishes than to wait for it to heat up on a regular burner .

Advantages: 2 induktionny komforka, 2 glass-ceramic. Ideal for someone who has a lot of good cookware that does not fit induction hobs, but there is a desire to try and cook on induction hobs. Timer and protection from children - now I can afford to cook with my one-year-old daughter, who tries to press all the buttons :) And then leave with my daughter for a walk, leaving a stew for lunch or dinner on the stove, confident that by my arrival the stove will be turned off by a timer.

Disadvantages: Not found.

Comment: She took for a very nice price - 9450 rubles. For me, the surface is just perfect: I love to cook, I cook a lot. So quickly heat up the soup for the whole family (5 people) for me now is not a problem. This is my first surface, previously cooked on conventional electric and gas stoves.

Advantages: 1. Very comfortable model
2. Excellent heat adjustment
3. Washes well
4. Nothing sticks to induction combs.
5. Resets heat with one touch.

Disadvantages: Not

Comment: After the gas stove I wanted to buy something similar to electricity. Initially, we tried a temporary 1-piece induction tile from the supermarket. But it turned out that you can’t cook porridge on her literally, since there is no small heat and glow heat. Immediately boil, then 1-2 seconds silent, then again 1-2 seconds boils. Other modes work well, quickly.

Then, cautiously, I bought the combined model Zanussi ZEN 6641 with caution so that I could cook on ordinary comforters. But in this plate everything is so well regulated that I will probably use only induction, since they are located in front.
I am very glad that I did not overpay 5 tr for Bosch, which does not have a timer and the reset must be pressed many times

Advantages: 1. price!
2. workmanship.
3. The edge of the metal on the perimeter.
4. off timer!
5. automatic adjustment of fan speed.
6. good sensitivity of the touch buttons.
7. ability to connect to 380 V.

Disadvantages: I see no flaws for myself.

Comment: consciously took the combined model! induction is good, fast and convenient, but there are a lot of dishes that have no analogues in magnetic design, such as waffle iron or oreshnitsa! Yes, and thermal inertia for some dishes is simply irreplaceable!

Advantages: Induction panels. Who else doesn’t know how fast it all is, believe me, it’s really fast.

Disadvantages: A little buzzing.

Comment: When buying a new panel, I had no doubt that it was necessary to take a fully induction, and not 2 + 2. But the wife used the veto by explaining that she does not want to say goodbye to several pans. A few months later, she admitted her mistake. My advice. Guys, do not listen to anyone, take a full induction panel. Well, in a pinch, buy this one.
