The best inexpensive induction cookers

GEFEST 6570-04 0057

Rating: 4.8

This induction hob is available in two versions. They differ from each other only in the color of the body. Perhaps the black stove will look the most interesting, but a device with a white body will also decorate some kind of interior. Be that as it may, the device meets most of the requirements of the modern buyer. In particular, the hob has a glass-ceramic surface that is easy to clean. There are four induction burners on it – two of different sizes. The dashboard consists of several buttons and a digital display. Rotary switches are a thing of the past, which may not appeal to older people – it will take them some time to master such a cooker.

As befits a similar appliance, the Gefest product has an electric oven. Its volume reaches 52 liters. This parameter cannot be called a record, but it should be enough for most people. It is unlikely that only a large turkey will fit here, but its inhabitants of Russia are not used to baking in any case. The maximum temperature in such an oven can reach 250 ° C. The door is endowed with two glasses, in this regard, the stove does not differ from most competitors with a similar price tag. It's nice that the manufacturer has taken care of families with children – a small child will not be able to accidentally turn on the stove, since this requires special manipulations.

Of course, this model is not intended to boast of any unusual technologies. Inside the oven, you will sometimes have to wield a cleaning agent and rags – the fat here does not know how to break down into its constituent parts, as it is implemented in especially expensive appliances. Tray guides are also quite ordinary – more precisely, wire racks. I am glad that at least there are backlighting and a spit here – the manufacturer did not save on them. By the way, the digital display will most often be used to activate the timer. He is also able to show the temperature inside the oven. If we return to the hob, then the power of the small and large burners is 1400 and 2300 W, respectively. And do not forget that such an induction cooker requires a connection with a power of at least 10.3 kW, otherwise the wiring may not withstand.

Advantages

• The oven cannot be called very small;
• Skewer and convection are present;
• Induction hobs are available in different sizes;
• Residual heat indicator has been implemented;
• There is protection from children;
• Available automatic shutdown of burners and oven.

disadvantages

• Lattice guides for baking sheets;
• The oven door consists of only two glass panes;
• Traditional type of oven cleaning.

Hansa FCIW53800

Rating: 4.7

If the burners of the model discussed above had a square shape, then the Hansa FCIW53800 is a more familiar induction cooker. Like many other devices from this rating, it has a black glass-ceramic hob, on which there are round burners. The width of this appliance is 50 cm. It is interesting that inside it there was a place for a 66-liter oven. Access to it is provided by opening a hinged door, which has two glasses.

Of course, the oven here belongs to the electric type. The maximum temperature in it can reach 270 ° C, which is considered to be an acceptable parameter. I am glad that telescopic guides are used for trays – as you already understood, some manufacturers save on this structural element. There is also convection and an electric grill. If something goes wrong, the oven will definitely turn off. However, the system can also turn off the hob if, for example, something has boiled off on it. By the way, the burners here have residual heat indicators, so you will know for sure whether it is worth touching them now.

Otherwise, this is a typical induction cooker selling for 40 thousand rubles. The connection power must be at least 10 kW – this is the amount of electricity that will be consumed when the oven and all the burners are turned on. The so-called autofocus function should please the buyer. This means that the hotplate will only heat up in the area where the cookware is placed – the air will not heat up. In short, this function provides energy savings and a more pleasant microclimate in the kitchen. Well, the complete lack of protection from children is upsetting. However, it is unlikely that a small child will turn the rotary switches. But the buttons may still interest him – you must tell him that you do not need to press them. There is also a segment display on the dashboard that displays a clock or timer.

Advantages

• Automatic shutdown of the oven and hob is possible;
• Great appearance;
• There is an autofocus function;
• Large volume of electric oven;
• Grill and convection are present;
• Residual heat indicators are available;
• The large burner is complemented by three relatively small ones;
• Telescopic guides are designed for trays.

disadvantages

• No protection from children;
• The oven door consists of only two glass panes;
• Traditional type of oven cleaning.

The best induction cookers in terms of price-quality ratio

AEG CIR 56400 BX

Rating: 4.9

Another induction hob with a black hob in our ranking. It is much more expensive than the examples discussed above, in connection with which you expect a wider functionality from it. The product is ready to offer four cooking zones with a residual heat indicator. However, they belong to three different sizes – on the surface there are two small burners, one medium and one large. The smallest hotplate has a power of 1.4 kW, and the largest is 2.1 kW. Oddly enough, the manufacturer did not implement the autofocus function here, so when choosing a burner, be sure to focus on the size of the cookware. And the engineers were also unable to build child protection. But on the other hand, they used the usual rotary switches, so it won't take much time even for an elderly person to master the capabilities of the stove. However, do not think that the device is completely devoid of buttons. There is also a segment display on which the timer is most often displayed.

The volume of the electric oven present here is 61 liters. The maximum temperature in the oven can reach 250 ° C. As in the case with the models discussed above, the product received a hinged door, consisting of two glasses. Some dissatisfaction of the buyer can be caused by the guides of the baking sheets, which are gridded. But why is the stove so expensive then? Perhaps only because of cleaning the oven with steam. This feature will delight anyone who doesn't like to use cleaning products. After applying such cleaning, it is enough to walk over the insides of the oven with a simple wet rag – most often after that you will get the perfect result.

Otherwise, this is a typical induction cooker, perhaps even oversimplified. In particular, there is no automatic shutdown of the burners in case of any trouble – the system can only turn off the oven. By the way, recessed switches are used here – as in other electric stoves with such a high cost.

Advantages

• The oven has an electric grill and convection;
• Steam cleaning implemented;
• The burners are available in three different sizes;
• There is a residual glass indicator;
• Convenient flush-mounted switches;
• There is an automatic shutdown of the oven.

disadvantages

• The oven door has only two glasses;
• Lattice trays are used;
• There is no automatic shutdown of the hob.

Electrolux EKI 954901 X

Rating: 4.8

Another induction cooker in our ranking with six rotary switches. However, here they are made in a more traditional way – they cannot be sunk into the device case. Between the switches are several buttons and a segment display. As for the hob, it is made of glass ceramics. The hotplates come in two sizes and have a maximum power of 1400 and 2100 W. Of course, there are residual heat indicators on them. Unfortunately, there is no automatic shutdown of the hob. Apparently, traditional switches have prevented the introduction of such technology.

The oven used here is rather modest. Its volume does not exceed 58 liters, and the maximum attainable temperature is 250 ° C. Lattice guides are intended for trays, in this regard, the stove will not surprise with anything either. The hinged door consists of two glasses, and therefore its heating will still be felt. Perhaps the main innovation of the engineers is a special coating of the inner surface. At high temperatures, it literally breaks down fat into its constituent parts. As a result, special cleaning of the oven is not required – in the evening after cooking, it is enough to walk with a wet cloth, spending only a couple of minutes on it. There is also an electric grill and convection. Unlike the hob, the oven can still be turned off automatically.

Electrolux EKI 954901 X is an excellent induction cooker, albeit not without its drawbacks. It comes in two colors – white and silver. Positive reviews indicate that this device is quite suitable for its owners.

Advantages

• Automatic oven shutdown implemented;
• There are convection and electric grill inside the oven;
• Convenient management;
• Induction hobs come in two sizes;
• There are residual heat indicators;
• The stove is durable;
• Oven cleaning as easy as possible.

disadvantages

• No protection from children;
• Not the most capacious oven;
• No automatic shutdown of the hob;
• The door consists of two glass panes;
• Wire rack guides.

Gorenje EIT 6341 WD

Rating: 4.7

This induction hob is available in white only. Its top is adorned with a black glass-ceramic hob. The product has four induction cooking zones. At the same time, on the right they have a round shape, while the left side of the surface will heat up exactly in the area where the dishes are located. This is very convenient – you can place a very large saucepan on the stove, its bottom will definitely be heated in full. The approximate center of each burner is indicated by an arrow – you should focus on it.

Unlike the induction cookers already considered in this rating, Gorenje EIT 6341 pleases with more modern functionality. For example, there is child protection here. This is despite the fact that switches recessed into the housing are also used for control. The automatic shutdown of the oven is also implemented here. And pay attention to the fact that the width of the device is 60 cm – be sure to check if it will fit in your kitchen, whether you will have to rearrange the headset items.

The power of the small and large burners is 1200 and 2000 W, respectively. Of course, the residual heat indicator is not forgotten. Under the hob is the dashboard, which is made up of not only rotary switches but also several touch buttons. There is also an excellent display, numbers and other symbols on which are displayed in white. Next comes the oven door. What is important, it consists of three glasses – there is almost no heating of its surface, and this saves a certain amount of electricity.

The volume of the oven chamber is 65 liters. Inside there are convenient telescopic tray guides. The back panel in the oven has a special coating that is capable of breaking down fats into water and carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, the side panels are a little more difficult to clean – there is no such coating on them. But the oven got an electric grill and convection.

Perhaps this induction cooker is one of the best representatives of our rating. It takes up a little more space in the kitchen, but the user will definitely not complain about any inconvenience. Many people write in reviews that they simply do not know what else to ask for from such a technique.

Advantages

• Convenient control panel;
• The hob is supplemented with an oval zone for large dishes;
• Residual heat indicators are available;
• Implemented protection from children;
• There is an automatic shutdown of the oven;
• Large volume of the oven chamber;
• Partially catalytic cleaning type;
• Telescopic guides are used;
• Electric grill and convection are present.

disadvantages

• No automatic shutdown of the hob;
• Not everyone will like the cost.

The best induction cookers in the premium segment

Smeg C6IPX9

Rating: 4.9

This device received a silver body. And this is the rare case when even the oven door is painted silver. The width of the slab is 60 cm, it cannot be called narrow. But on the hob, created from glass ceramics, there was a place for four fairly large burners. Unfortunately, they are slightly simplified – there are no residual heat indicators here. But on the other hand, the manufacturer took care of the protective shutdown – the automation will certainly work if something bad happens on the hob.

This induction cooker has a very large oven, its volume reaches 70 liters – this parameter is enough even for cooking a turkey, not to mention a goose or chicken. A familiar hinged door is used to access the inside of the oven. It should also be noted that the device has received pyrolytic cleaning. This means that a person on their own only needs to wipe the insides with a wet rag.

Otherwise, this is a typical induction cooker, which is hardly capable of surprising with anything. There is an electric grill, and on the dashboard there is a small display showing the clock and cooking time of the intended dish. The connection power should be 10.4 kW – in this case, it will be possible to activate all the burners and bring the temperature in the oven to 280 ° C.

Please note that there is no special protection for children. But for the most part, only rotary switches are used for control, to which all elderly people are accustomed. If they were also recessed into the body, it would be great. But then the cost of the induction cooker would be higher.

Advantages

• High temperature in the oven;
• Large oven volume;
• Electric grill and convection are present;
• A pyrolytic type of cleaning is used;
• Implemented automatic shutdown of the hob and oven;
• Convenient management;
• The burners are available in three different sizes;
• Good tray guides.

disadvantages

• No protection from children;
• There are no residual heat indicators.

The best tabletop induction cookers

Caso Pro 3500

Rating: 4.9

Such an unusual induction cooker as the Caso Pro 3500 also got into our rating. This is a tabletop model that will come in handy anywhere in a country house where a lot of food is never cooked. Just make sure that the wiring will withstand such a device – in maximum operation it consumes 3.5 kW. Also, a certain limitation is its cost – not every person is ready to spend over 21 thousand rubles on such a tile.

The device is as modern as possible; only high quality and durable components are used in its composition. The height of the product barely reaches 12 cm, and its weight is negligible. This means that there will be no problems in using the tile – after cooking, it will not be difficult to put the appliance somewhere in the cabinet.

There is a full-fledged glass-ceramic panel on the top panel of the device. Unfortunately, the hotplate does not have a residual heat indicator, so be careful. Otherwise, it does not have any significant drawbacks. The buyer will definitely be pleased with the automatic shutdown, which will work if something has boiled away on the surface. Touch keys are used to control the tiles. They can be easily locked, as a result of which a small child cannot harm the device. There is also a timer, the readings of which are displayed on a segment display.

In a word, the thing turned out to be very interesting. It should replace the simplest tabletop tiles equipped with a spiral heating element. But the cost of the device is too high. And energy consumption will make you grab hold of the heart of any person living in some kind of wooden house, where electrical wiring was laid even during its construction. This must be why this model is not in great demand.

Advantages

• There is a child control lock;
• There is a display that shows a timer;
• Implemented protective shutdown;
• Modern design;
• The legs are practically non-slip.

disadvantages

• No residual heat indicator;
• Very high cost;
• High power consumption.

Caso S-Line 3500

Rating: 4.8

This induction cooker is even less tall. It rises only 6 cm above the surface of the table. But the width and depth of the device are noticeably greater. There is a possibility that somewhere in the country a stove will take up the entire area of ​​the table. Such dimensions are explained by the presence of two burners at once. A rare device of this kind offers to cook both in a pan and in a saucepan! All controls here are displayed on the same top panel. They are exclusively touch keys. All of them are signed and have pictograms, but it will be quite difficult for an elderly person to master them. There are also two displays here, mainly showing timer readings.

Such a tabletop tile already requires a much more powerful connection, because in the maximum mode, the power consumption can reach 4.2 kW. If something bad happens on one of the burners, the stove will automatically turn off. By the way, the diameter of both burners is exactly the same, so the total power is divided equally between them. The surface here is glass-ceramic, which is also good news. The lack of residual heat indicators is disappointing. But what can I say, the burners here are not even highlighted by the usual circles – instead, something like a sight is used to place the dishes.

The cost of this tabletop is 17 thousand rubles. Why did it turn out cheaper than the option considered just above? Its creators must have understood that the device turned out to be rather bulky. It will no longer be possible to put it away so easily somewhere on the mezzanine. In this regard, even fewer people will be interested in them. Nevertheless, we will recommend it for purchase!

Advantages

• There are two burners;
• The stove has a high power;
• Minimum height;
• There are timers;
• Implemented protective shutdown;
• High reliability;
• Childproof protection available.

disadvantages

• There are no residual heat indicators;
• Touch control will not suit everyone.

ProfiCook PC-DKI 1067

Rating: 4.7

Another induction tabletop hob with two induction hobs. Here they have pronounced circles, and the total hob area is divided into two halves by white lines. To control the cooking process, touch keys and two segment displays are used here – all this is located on a convenient bevel. The electronics installed here are able to notice the troubles occurring in time, as a result of which it will immediately turn off the stove. But there is no protection from children. With electronic control, this seems very strange. If you have a small child, you should disconnect the stove from the power supply after cooking or heating the food.

The height of this model does not exceed 6 cm. In many ways, the product is noticeably simplified. For example, there are no residual heat indicators here. But this stove costs only 14 thousand rubles. In a word, this is a good option for a summer residence if the house is built relatively recently (the plate requires good copper wiring).

Advantages

• There are timers;
• There is a protective shutdown;
• There are two burners;
• The cost is not very high;
• Durable construction.

disadvantages

• No residual heat indicators;
• There is no protection from children;
• Not everyone likes touch controls.

Conclusion

This is a list of the best induction cookers available in Russian retail chains. From now on, you know how good these devices are. And you might have noticed that even the most expensive models have certain disadvantages. As they say, in our world there is no ideal – you will always have to put up with something.
