12 best electric stoves with oven

Electric stoves occupy a large segment of the market of large household appliances. There are a number of reasons for this: environmental friendliness, almost complete fire safety in comparison with gas stoves, ease of operation and maintenance, etc. Expertology editorial staff presents you the rating of the best electric stoves with ovens, compiled according to the recommendations of our industry experts.

Selection criteria

Russian market of free-standing stoves is very different in composition from Western countries, and this difference is based almost exclusively on established traditions and user preferences.

For example, in the U.S. and UK, popular cooking stoves have two ovens with two separate doors – the upper is smaller in volume, the lower is larger. In Russia, this form factor is also on sale, but the demand for it is disproportionately lower than for the usual classic models. So when choosing the best options, our experts focused only on single-chamber ovens.

But this is only the only fundamental difference, and in general, the principles of choosing the best option of an electric cooking stove in the range of the market of any country are almost identical.

To be as objective as possible, we’ve compared our experts’ findings with those of our colleagues at Britain’s most reputable nonprofit organization, Which?The “Independent Quality Assessment and Consumer Protection Agency” is dedicated to the protection of consumer rights and the quality of products. The organization exists solely on account of membership fees and has earned the trust of complete independence from the influence of manufacturers.

Let’s briefly describe some points, which are not obvious for everyone when choosing an electric stove.

Why no plug?

First of all, we consider it necessary to warn potential buyers that free-standing electric stoves often come on sale without a plug for the electrical outlet, and even without a cable altogether. Some users see this as a disadvantage and indicate this point in their reviews.

In fact, this can not be considered a disadvantage. This kind of equipment, by definition, requires a specialist for connection. This is necessary at least from a safety point of view – a buyer without special education can not know for sure, even if the wiring in his apartment to withstand such a load.

Therefore, once again – when buying an electric stove you should know for sure that you can’t plug it in yourself and that the lack of a plug or a wire is not a fault of the manufacturer, but rather a precautionary measure.

And the smartest solution is to talk to an electrician BEFORE you buy the stove, not after. Otherwise, it will be very unpleasant after buying a stove to find that in a particular household, you simply can not use it.

Pancake or ceramic-glass?

This striking difference in the form-factors of hobs in electric stoves is an important point. Stoves with classic cast iron “pancakes” are still in fashion, although mostly concentrated in the lower price segment.

Glass ceramic has undeniable advantages – smooth and even surface, much more aesthetically appealing, elementary care, easy moving of the cookware. And there is also a fundamental functional difference – only in stoves with flat glass-ceramic surface can you adequately arrange two-zone burners, which can be adapted to the shape of pans (elongated or large).

As a rule, stoves with vitrified clay surfaces cost considerably more, but the benefits they offer have a significant influence on ease of use and, in the long term, on quality of life in general.

Heating speed

For a long time electric stoves had one drawback compared to gas stoves – slow heating. This is still the case with our cheapest models. In modern stoves, where the burners use the ribbon type of heater, rather than a spiral, this difference is minimized, but the presence of ribbon burners almost “automatically” classifies the stove to a higher class, because they are expected to and the glass ceramic surface.

However, even in inexpensive models, manufacturers find a compromise solution with one express burner of increased power. Therefore, you should carefully look at the description when choosing – the stove with an express burner may slightly differ in price from an analogue of another manufacturer that does not have this extremely useful function.

Other factors such as the presence and functionality of the timer, the possibilities of the oven in terms of convection, grill and the presence of a kebab oven, the volume of the oven and other – these are quite obvious things, and we will not focus on them, and proceed to the consideration of specific models.

Rating of the best electric stoves with oven

The best inexpensive electric stoves with an oven

First of all we will consider a selection of stoves that are most accessible to the mass consumer in terms of cost, but still remain of sufficient quality and performance. All five electric stoves from different manufacturers, including prominent European brands.

In terms of price, all the electric stoves listed are roughly comparable and their prices vary within a reasonable range. The general characteristics are as follows:

1. mechanical rotary switches;
2. electric oven;
3. Hinged oven door with double tempered glass;
4. traditional cleaning;
5. storage compartment for cookware and accessories;
6. backlight of the chamber;
7. automatic boiling, panel lock, safety shutoff, convection, clock (except GEFEST) are not provided.

GEFEST 5140 0031

Rating: 4.4

Let’s start with the most affordable electric stove. On the Russian market there are even cheaper, but this model is the starting point, where we can talk about normal quality, comfort and presentable appearance. First, a few words about the manufacturer.

Belarusian brand GEFEST is well known in Russia and many CIS countries. At one time the plant “Brestgazoapparat” successfully modernized the production of large kitchen appliances. When the first modernized stoves with comfortable controls and modern design began to appear on the market, many were hard even to believe that this technique is not imported. Nowadays the GEFEST products are known to everyone and enjoys the highest demand, also due to the high repairability because of the availability of spare parts.

Now specifically about this model. Here, the engineers have taken a rather radical step – they rejected one burner. On the right side of the cooktop, there is only a 2kW high power express burner and just an enameled platform in place of the back burner.

Such optimization completely satisfies a large number of customers, as evidenced by the predominantly positive feedback. Majority of the owners never use all four burners at the same time and the price reduction is considerable.

The volume of the oven is quite consistent with the standard dimensions of the stove – 52 liters. A big plus that you rarely see in cheap stoves – the oven door lock. An even greater advantage – the inner glass is removable, eliminating the possibility of non-removable spills.

This model is covered by a 2-year warranty.

From a Yandex user review.Market with the status of “Inspector of Household Level 2”: “Very good three-burner stove with oven. Three burners are enough. Value for money is above reproach. Controls work smoothly and softly. Yes, there is no tray under the stove, just a curtain door, but it’s not a problem.

Advantages

• the most affordable price;
• appearance and convenience against the price;
• Express burner for 2 kW;
• oven door stopper;
• two trays in the kit;

Hansa FCEW53001 is a simple, rather high quality and reliable electric stove in lower price segment. It is classic in every sense, with traditional pancake burners, made of cast iron. Its main advantage is the price/reliability ratio. Functionality is very simple and unpretentious. This, by the way, she, without any exaggeration, attracts some consumers who do not want to overpay for never used additional features.

large oven – 69 liters. The heaters are top and bottom heating elements. They can be used simultaneously or separately – there are three modes of cooking in the oven. Traditional cleaning, but the Aqualytic steam cleaning function is announced. The idea is just to evaporate a small amount of water poured on the tray at a certain temperature. But such a procedure really does soften dried-on food residue on the walls and makes cleaning easier.

On the whole, users are happy with the simplicity and reliability of the stove. Everyone is happy with its classic “universal” design, thanks to which the stove will look fine in any interior. Some people are annoyed by very thin metal walls, which sag when wiping, but such remarks are few. More frequent remarks about insufficient power – the stove would definitely need an express burner.

• large oven;
• Two heating elements, you can turn on together or alternately;
• simple and intuitive operation;
• removable inner glass of the oven door;
• Steam cooking for easy cleaning.
