I think you are familiar with the Soviet gas stoves Hephaestus, which stood in almost every house some 30 years ago. Today we will get acquainted with the models hobs that the brand is ready to offer today. I will show the value of gas appliances from the technical and practical side and try to make your choice easier.

Model	Dimensions (w*d) cm	Embedding dimensions (cm)
Gefest SG CH 1210	59*52	55.4*49
Gefest CH 1211 K30	59*51	56*48.6
GEFEST CH 1211	59*51	57*49

I'll say this: Gefest gas hobs are a prominent representative of economy class appliances and successfully compete in this segment with manufacturers from European countries. All devices have a Belarusian residence permit, which is gratifying.

Judge for yourself: the country produces excellent equipment, which is only worth large-scale engineering! The cooking surfaces are, of course, rustic, but this is fully justified by the fabulous price. But such simplicity will serve you almost indefinitely. The device is more likely to bother you than break.

Keep in mind that the risk of running into a marriage still exists. However, the company's service network is quite developed and there will be no problems with the replacement of the device in case of detection of factory malfunctions. Also, I like how easy it is to find parts in case a replacement is needed. You don't have to shell out a lot of money to find, say, a new burner or switch.

Advantages and disadvantages

Buying any item brings with it both advantages and disadvantages. And it is in this context that I want to reveal the properties of Gefest gas hobs.

The general advantages seem to me as follows:

• First of all, I like the fabulous price. You do not overpay for the brand and other marketing tinsel. The cost of the device is due to its characteristics and all. Believe me, it's great;
• With the purchase of a panel, you get the opportunity to cook familiar dishes. Note that as many as 4 burners are available at a very reasonable cost. You can cook up to 4 dishes at the same time, without limiting yourself in recipes. I am generally silent about the quality of food cooked on gas - if you know how to handle the burners, it will remain at a consistently high level;
• you get a rational choice. If you want to save money, you can purchase a model without gas control and with mechanical ignition. If you plan to spend a little more money - with gas control and automatic ignition;
• I will add affordable service to the general piggy bank of pluses;
• the delivery set allows you to immediately connect the panel to any power source. You do not have to bother about this, although you still cannot do without a gasman.

The general cons are:

• ease of assembly and execution of gas hobs brings a smile. This is not bad in itself, however, do not count on such features as double-triple crown, express burners and so on.
• Belarusian appliances are a bit wooden. Here and there a crackle, in some places a whistle, in some places a small backlash. In general, this does not affect the operation of the device, but spoils the overall impression.

Choice factors

Please note that according to external characteristics, devices from the Gefest brand differ little from each other, except for the color and side of the control panel.

Panel type

Belarusians offer enameled and stainless steel.

Look at the picture that is emerging:

• stainless steel is virtually indestructible and practical option. The gas desktop is quite resistant to mechanical shocks - even heavy cast-iron pans or cauldrons will not leave marks on it. Care is quite simple, but the manufacturer warns against the use of abrasives and steel wool when cleaning the surface. IN otherwise she will get scratched and lose her aesthetic appearance. As for the design, I can say that it is universal, but this is not the most modern solution;
• enameled steel - this option I can call the most budgetary of all existing ones, the most economical of all economical ones. The durability of operation depends on the quality of the enamel. I have seen panels where the top layer has lost its original characteristics after five years. Hephaestus in this regard is somewhere in the middle. I will not say that the enamel will not peel off within 20 years, but it will remain intact in the first years of operation. Caring for a gas work table is straightforward.

Cast iron grates

Black cast iron is the most the best solution for gas hob. Why? First, it is strong and stable. You can put a bucket of future jelly on the gas table and the dish will be successfully cooked. In addition, almost everything can be spilled on cast-iron grates - soup, compote, vinegar, sulfuric acid - the material will withstand all tests and remain intact. In terms of cleaning, you will have to try, but no grates are without it. The product will not burn and will not lose its appearance over time.

I've heard reports that cast iron is brittle and can shatter if hit hard enough. As an expert who has worked with countless hobs with such grates, I can say that I do not know how to pound cast iron to make it crumble. It may well be if you hit him with a sledgehammer from all over. But in real life it doesn't matter. Believe me, the product will last a long time.

Gas control

A very useful thing. Imagine a picture: everything is fun and beautiful, cabbage soup is being cooked on the stove. The liquid flowing out of the saucepan extinguishes the flame. So, it is the gas control that will cut off the fuel supply, and you will be safe. However, this does not release from the control of the cooking process - the soup must be cooked in the end. It is in the spectrum of my last thought that I will say that the thing is useful, but not necessary. If you are already in the kitchen and see the flames burning, you can not overpay for this option, although it does add peace of mind. The choice is yours!

Automatic electric ignition

The brand offers panels with different options to choose from. You can purchase device with mechanical ignition. This will save money, but not as convenient as we would like. You will have to learn how to manipulate the rotary switch and the ignition button at the same time.

The automatic version is triggered by a piezoelectric element built into the handles., so that all actions consist of one movement. In fairness, I note that Belarusian auto-ignition is somewhat wooden.

Connection type

Cooking gas surfaces can be connected both to a centralized gas supply system and to a cylinder with liquefied gas. I like that all panels are adapted to operating pressure our networks. If you will be using a balloon, additional jets will be required. Their purchase will not cause problems and serious costs.

Burner type

Note that the manufacturer offers 4 burner models. This is the best solution for a large family. The gas itself works quickly and won't make you wait too long for food to be cooked, however, all the frills are excluded. Keep this in mind when choosing.

I can describe the advantages of the model as follows:

• if you do not take into account the wooden ignition, the operation of the device is quite comfortable. You can cook 10 liters of soup, easily put a bowl of fruit on the table burners for making jam and other bulky and heavy dishes. This freedom of action is often lacking for housewives with vaunted glass ceramics. Depending on the principle of cooking, you can fix the “small flame” position, for example, when extinguishing or simmering dishes;
• I have noticed more than once that the simpler the better. Having studied the hob, I can safely say about the reliability of the control unit. Internal execution and appearance do not cause complaints;
• fabulous price!
• excellent equipment - in addition to gratings, the delivery set includes accessories for connecting the stove to any source of gas supply and installation.

In practice, you can also expect disadvantages:

• the rubber bands placed on the bottom surface of the gratings will fly off at the third contact with moisture. This is a trifle, but subsequently the cast iron can scratch the enamel. If such an incident happens, you better stick them back;
• keep in mind that the stove is produced according to the Belarusian standard, a little more space is required for installation compared to similar models;
• lack of gas control function, protective shutdown, blocking.

About brand hobs GEFEST in video:

Gefest CH 1211 K30

The Belarusian manufacturer has stepped forward and offers us a wide variety of hobs. Model GEFEST CH 1211 K30 works on gas, and, you can connect both to a centralized highway and to a cylinder. I note that All adapters (nozzles) will have to be purchased separately, well, or you can just pay the gasman for everything.

The sleek design immediately caught my attention. The appearance of the panel, frankly, causes a smile. The basis of the device is stainless steel, where there are four platforms for placing burners and a small side. I mean, it is he who should protect against the flow of spilled broth. Crowns all this splendor two cast iron grates(one for two burners). Please note that you can order a complete set of profile welded gratings, which is gratifying.

Management is carried out by rotary switches. The control unit is arranged vertically and placed along right hand I found it convenient. However, it is extremely inconvenient that the manufacturer has introduced a two-handed ignition. I understand that this is an economy class, but it reminds me of the stone age. You will have to get used to simultaneously pressing the ignition button and turning the knob with a slight pressure. To be honest, I got it on the third try.

I note that the flame responds responsively to the rotation of the handles and you can lock the handle in the "small flame" mode. This is useful when you want to quickly capture low heat. Burners are placed as conveniently as possible- the most popular (express and max) in front, and two standard ones - in the back.

I will group the practical advantages of the model as follows:

• affordable price. Against the background of quite decent functionality, the hob can be a real gift;
• the device is strong and reliable, it is not afraid of bowls of jam and buckets of jellied meat;
• easy care - cleaning the cast-iron grates and the table itself will not cause trouble. As detergent you can use dishwashing gel;
• gas control is the main option for your safety.

Among the shortcomings met the following practical properties:

• wooden electric ignition;
• accidentally spilling liquid on the burner will seriously interfere with the cooking process. You will either have to change the burner, or wait until it dries out;
• do not expect maximum power, there are no double or triple burners.

Gefest CH 1211

I immediately liked the gas hob GEFEST CH 1211. She looks cute and pretty, but that's not the point. I have no doubt about the reliability of the gas table, as it is made on the basis of high quality stainless steel. The white enamel coating successfully masks all possible stains, so you won't waste even an extra second cleaning.

Obviously, the manufacturer took into account a number of previous mistakes and made the hob one of the most successful in the model range. Now I'm talking about electric ignition, which previously left much to be desired. IN GEFEST CH 1211 ignition built into the handles, - you can light the stove with one movement of the stove.

I will note one more important option - the presence of the gas control function. Of course, a few decades ago, everyone used gas stoves perfectly without any control and did not experience discomfort. Today, the issue of safety is more acute, and I am glad that the company's engineers have taken this issue into account.

I will group the advantages of the model as follows:

• efficient and high-quality cooking of any dishes. The plate will pass the test with success aluminum pots, copper basins, cast iron pans, etc. You will not receive restrictions on the use of dishes and recipes. In addition, by cast iron grates the dishes can be moved as if on a chessboard - nothing will tip over and spill;
• in addition to the gas control function, the manufacturer claims the first class of electrical safety. A definite plus in the general piggy bank of your security;
• Hurrah! – ignition is built into the handles;
• thoughtful ergonomics - I think the location of the burners is optimal for the convenience of every hostess;
• Super price.

Among the shortcomings, I can list the following properties:

• the gear design of the burners provokes the occurrence of whistling in a small heating mode. If you fix the “small flame” position, an extraneous sound will be heard. This is not critical, but still, a minus;
• the stove does not give the maximum burning power. The absence of a double, triple flame can affect the process long-term operation. Consider your culinary needs when choosing a product.

conclusions

Now I can give the final advice on choosing a gas hob from a Belarusian manufacturer.

Savings for the Thrifty

If you don't want to spend too much, don't go for additional features, consider the Gefest SG CH 1210 model for selection. Great option for use in an apartment or country house. The panel will perfectly cope with the main purpose - cooking. However, keep in mind that saving does not provide any convenience. Here no gas control(however, I have already said that it is not necessary in some cases), and the ignition is implemented mechanically. In addition, I found a number of minor flaws, but they are not critical. If you do not want to save at this price, pay attention to gas hobs with 3 burners. They are available at an affordable cost, but more functional.

Reasonable price/quality ratio

I immediately liked the device Gefest CH 1211. This nice device is equipped with everything you need - automatic ignition, gas control, and the quality of the burners and the gas table did not cause any complaints. Great solution for this price. I doubt that in this price segment you will find the same high-quality analogue and do not overpay for the brand. A definite recommendation! However, I ask you to rethink your cooking habits, as you will not get the maximum burning power (I'm talking about a double, triple crown).

The latest model Gefest CH 1211 K30 is also not bad, you can also evaluate its capabilities in everyday life, however, care should be taken to ensure that the liquid does not flood the burners. By the way, I saw excellent characteristics in terms of burner power in Bosch gas hobs. Check them out to expand your choices.

IN Lately built-in models are becoming increasingly popular. They can be electric and gas. This household appliance is ideally combined with any stylistic design. Thanks to the features of the installation, it is a single unit with the countertop. This solution gives a certain charm to the entire kitchen space.

Cooktops "Hephaestus"

Consider in this review several models of the Belarusian manufacturer. The Hephaestus hob deserves special attention. Reviews about this brand are mostly positive. Each consumer can choose a device based on personal preferences. All modern hobs are equipped with many convenient features and are significantly different from their predecessors. In this article it will be possible to get acquainted with the types of devices and their additional features. This information will help in the selection and purchase of equipment.

Currently, the products of the Belarusian brand "Hephaestus" are popular in Russia. There is a wide range of different models of cooking surfaces on the market. All of them have many differences. First of all, each device is made in the original design key. The product is available in three versions: electric panels, gas and combined. Also, each of the models has certain technical specifications. Their popularity lies in the fact that Gefest produces high-quality products that meet European standards. Let's take a closer look at the types of hobs.

Varieties by type of food

As mentioned above, gas, electric and combined appliances can be found in the model line of the Gefest company. The gas hob works on the basis of blue fuel, electric, respectively, from electricity. What does combined mean? This type of hob can be powered by a gas cylinder, and if necessary, switch to power supply. Considering that in Russian Federation At the moment, blue fuel is cheaper than electricity, so gas models are very popular. They are a device with four burners (in some versions, there may be two or three) located directly on the surface, and simple, convenient regulators. Some models are equipped with electric ignition. It is worth noting that Gefest gas hobs have an attractive appearance and a clear principle of operation for everyone. These criteria as a whole will deliver a lot of positive emotions during the operation of equipment.

Safer to use. When installing such stoves, you need to make sure that the wiring in the room is powerful enough. Unlike gas, the surface electrical models easy to clean. To do this, it is enough to apply special agent on the surface and leave for a couple of minutes. After that, lightly wipe the equipment with a clean cloth. Separately, I would like to note that the Gefest company cares about its consumers and strives to provide safe, high-quality products that are as convenient as possible to use.

Highlights of electric hobs

Currently, more and more buyers are choosing Hephaestus electric hobs. But there is nothing surprising in this. This technique provides a number of advantages. First, it is operational safety. The electric version does not provide for the presence of open fire, and in the operating mode, gas leakage is completely excluded. Secondly, these models do not consume oxygen during cooking, which is impossible when using gas burners. Thirdly, when cleaning this type of equipment, you do not need to make special efforts, since the surface does not provide for the presence of gratings and has a flat and smooth structure. And fourthly, they are installed in houses with a high number of storeys, where, for security reasons, a gas pipe is not provided.

Advantages

Cooking panels "Hephaestus" have been pleasing the domestic buyer for a long time. Many people know firsthand about their quality. Speaking about the advantages of this type of equipment, it is worth highlighting the long service life, reliable and high-quality performance, and the use of high-quality materials.

A significant advantage of built-in hobs is the saving of kitchen space. After installing such a device, the room becomes much more spacious, and most importantly, more functional.

According to the reviews of people who already use appliances from the Hephaestus company, the hob does an excellent job with all the duties assigned to it.

Types of coverage

Wide range of model range allows you to choose a device that will have an enamel or aluminum coating of the working surface. There is also a built-in Hephaestus hob made of stainless steel or glass-ceramic. Any coating copes well with thermal and mechanical stress. However, each of them has minor disadvantages. For example, if a heavy object falls on the enamel coating, the paint may chip off. But the glass-ceramic surface has more aesthetic disadvantage - it often leaves traces of water or fingers. Less demanding are aluminum-coated appliances.

Glass-ceramic hobs look very impressive. Each buyer will be able to choose a model in black or white, and if desired, choose a work surface on which a beautiful pattern is embossed. Such models are equipped with four burners, a small display and a control panel. They are inductive.

Gefest CBH 4220

Let's look at specific example products of the Gefest company. cooking model SVN 4220 has the following dimensions: 5.5 x 76.5 x 53 cm. The surface is covered with glass ceramics. Only 4 burners, one of them has an oval heating zone. The control panel is located on the side, there is a timer, a sound signal. Touch type switches. Rated power - 7 kW. The only drawback, according to customer reviews, is the rapid contamination of the ceramic coating.

Gefest SG CH 1211 K30

What other options does the Belarusian company Gefest offer the consumer? The hob gas model SG SN 1211 K30 has dimensions: 9.5 x 59 x 51 cm. The surface is enameled. Equipped with four burners: the largest - 3 kW, two medium - 1.7 kW, small - 1 kW. The panel is made of stainless steel and is controlled by rotary switches. There is electric ignition. The device is equipped with a gas control system. The control panel is located on the right.
