A stove is one of the main appliances in the house. It is used regularly, most often several times a day. Therefore, it should be easy to use and of high quality. Indeed, the breakdown of one or more elements can leave the whole family without dinner. Gorenje brand products from Slovenia are well known and in demand by customers. Let's look at the reviews on the stoves. How to choose the best of them?
Requirements
The type of stove is largely determined by the conditions of the dwelling in which it will be installed. On sale there are stoves with gas and electric ovens . But besides the usual gas and electric, there are now intermediate options:
- Gas with electric ovens.
- Combined with both types of burners.
- Electric with a glass-ceramic surface.
- Built-in panels and ovens, independent or dependent.
What is the basis for choosing a gas stove? A review of the best-selling models suggests that the advantage of a gas oven is open fire. On it, the products heat up and cook faster, the food tastes better (to the taste of many users). But he is also the main drawback. Under its influence, dishes and the stove itself are polluted. Gas combustion products , which are not very beneficial for the body, settle on walls and furniture.
The electric stove is devoid of these shortcomings. It is much easier to wash.
When choosing a stove, the price of energy is also important.
The height of the plate is usually 85 cm. At the same time, it has adjustable supports that allow you to install the device evenly.
The width can be selected from 50 to 90 cm. Which stove to buy depends on the size of the kitchen, the space allocated for it, and the preferences of the hosts for cooking. It is better to buy dishes on a small plate too narrow.
The depth of the hob is usually 60 cm, but 50 cm can also be found.
Those who have a kitchen with built-in equipment can be equipped with a hob, oven and many other useful appliances.
Gas stoves Gorenje
Many buyers appreciated the Burning gas stoves with a gas oven. Reviews say that they are functional, have an ergonomic design.
The stoves are equipped with an oven (gas or electric). Some models have the function of "grill", skewer and optimal cooking settings.
Ovens of models with the grill function have a removable door.
The oven itself is coated with enamel, which should absorb fat. But customer reviews say that they could clean the baking sheets only with the help of a steam cleaner.
Electronic or mechanical timers simplify cooking. In some models, the gas switches off after the signal itself, in others it only reports that it is necessary to turn off the stove.
Colors - white and steel. Hob - stainless steel or enameled.
Control
Combustion stoves include rotary switches. Although they are not as “sophisticated” as in some models, they are well suited for gas and electric stoves. They are reliable, an electric ignition switch, which all Burning models are equipped with, is easily connected to them.
Security
Gas stoves are classified as high hazard appliances. Gas leakage can lead to both explosion and poisoning of residents. Burning stoves are insured against such consequences. They are equipped with a "gas control" system, which will prevent the gas from escaping when the fire is extinguished. This is liked by all users.
In order not to burn yourself when working with the oven, double glazing is provided. It retains heat in the cooking chamber. User reviews say that the oven heats up very much. Sometimes linoleum even melts under the stove. The sides are also very warm, which worries many users.
Reviews on the stoves "Combustion"
Customers like the Burning gas stove with a gas oven. Reviews indicate a beautiful appearance and design, the presence of a timer and a display. A cast-iron grill makes it possible to install even small pots. The panel of the plate is slightly extended forward. Therefore, there is no need to install a protective screen for the grill.
Attracted by ease of management and versatility. After all, with its help you can cook various dishes, bake pies, bake meat. The burning power of the fire can be easily adjusted by setting the "minimum fire" position.
A quick warm-up ring saves time.
Customers like the quality of the assembly and packaging in which the goods are delivered.
A burner in the form of a ring allows you to evenly heat its entire volume, which improves the quality of the prepared dishes.
But not everyone is comfortable working with the display. Consumers complain that it is very hot, you can even burn your hands. The display does not respond to wet fingers. And they are just what they usually are when working in the kitchen. When the display is very hot, after turning off it does not want to turn on until it cools down.
But they react quickly to the ingress of water to the burner sensors, the stove immediately turns off.
Many users complain that the “Combustion” gas stoves with a gas oven are very slowly ignited. Reviews indicate that in order to get fire, they have to hold the handle for up to 30 seconds. Sometimes you need to repeat the procedure, since it generally refuses to light up. And this problem is with the inclusion of burners, and oven, and grill.
Reviews from other users, on the contrary, speak of a quick ignition.
There are especially many complaints about the sealing gum between the door and the oven, which quickly becomes unusable and requires replacement.
Cooking in the oven
Choosing a gas stove with a good oven is complicated by the fact that you need to consider a large number of factors. This is the type and shape of the heating element, and the density of the door, and the presence of double glazing, and sealing gum near the door. And also backlight, temperature determiner and timer.
Users mostly like the Gas Burner stove. The special divider does not allow walls to be scratched by baking sheets. Double glazing and sealing gum are available.
Opinions about the speed of cooking in the oven were divided. Some users are happy that this is happening quickly, while others complain that it is too slow.
The oven goes out when set to minimum fire. Although the gas control turns off the gas supply, it doesn’t make much sense, since the dish stops cooking.
Stove with ceramic surface “Combustion”
Reviews of the Gorenje gas stove indicate that appliances with a ceramic surface have many positive qualities, including cooking programs. But they are not adapted to work with constantly jumping voltage. Such plates quickly fail after 2-3 years.
But even before the filling becomes completely unusable, various breakdowns occur with the stove. The most unpleasant users consider the error "F4" on the display monitor. The stove begins to squeak and, worst of all, stops working. In such cases, you can try to reboot the device by unplugging it from the network and turning it on again. If it does not help, only a specialist can fix it. If you know how. Therefore, despite the attractive appearance, some buyers do not advise taking such a plate.

- Corrugated pens quickly become dirty.
- The drawer is small.
- A small burner is practically not used.
- Users would also like the oven control knob not to be on a par with the rest.
