Best built-in oven - Bosch, Electrolux or Gefest?

The energy consumption class is the same for all the presented devices - A. Bosch has the maximum power, respectively, this model produces the highest temperature. Not all customers need 275°C on a regular basis, but it's nice that an extended range of dishes can be cooked in the oven. For example, pizza dough is baked exclusively at high temperatures. You can also use the oven as an alternative to drying vegetables, fruits, fish or meat.

Another interesting characteristic is the minimum temperature. Hansa wins here, because only she is able to stop at 30 ° C (for other models, heating starts from 50 ° C). This is the best option for making yeast dough. Also, the extended range is useful for defrosting meat, long languishing or sous-vide cooking. Hansa also has a better heating rate. A temperature of 150°C inside the oven is reached in just 4 minutes - 20% faster than the competition.

The power of the device directly affects not only the temperature, but also the cooking speed. That is why Bosch becomes the leader in the nomination. The rest of the models also bake dishes quickly, only Hephaestus is a little behind. However, this oven will be a good solution for buyers who use the oven regularly.Too powerful a device can affect the operation of other household appliances, and the electricity bill is unlikely to please.

It cannot be said that there are huge differences between the selected ovens in terms of dimensions. They are similar to each other, each buyer chooses the best option, based on their needs and the size of the niche for embedding. Hansa turned out to be the deepest, while Hephaestus has the maximum width. Electrolux weighs less than competitors, although even with such a mass it will be problematic to transfer it without outside help.

If we talk about the design of household appliances, the difference is almost imperceptible: it all depends on the interior of the kitchen and the preferences of the inhabitants of the house. All built-in ovens are finished in black. Despite its outward simplicity, Bosch received high marks for its minimalistic design and beautiful door glass, which seems matte when the backlight is off. Electrolux is distinguished by a large display with luminous numbers. Thanks to this, you can see the time even in the dark. The disadvantage of the device is that the temperature and other important inscriptions are located directly on the switches. They are difficult to see from afar, and over time, the designations may be erased.

The design of Hephaestus cannot be called stylish compared to other models from the comparison.The control panel looks rough and cheap, but customers like the unusual pattern on the door. Representatives of the Hans brand call the design of the oven refined and sophisticated. The recessed switches look really good, and the backlighting is very bright in this unit.

Bosch household appliances boast the maximum volume. It is enough for the simultaneous preparation of several dishes. Treating a large family or a group of friends to dinner is an elementary task with this oven. The Hans model with a volume of 65 liters is also pleasing. For Electrolux and Hephaestus, this figure is more modest, although not by much. All built-in ovens are suitable for everyday cooking; of course, they cannot be used on an industrial scale.

Any household appliances are supplied complete with instructions and a warranty card. Bosch and Electrolux offer no surprises in the package. The manufacturer puts everything you need in the box: baking sheets, roaster, grids and telescopic rails. Of course, screws, nuts and other fasteners for built-in ovens are provided.

With Hansa, customers also receive original Procook baking trays.Honeycomb embossing prevents food from sticking to the surface. Fat flows down on special grooves so nothing burns. In addition, due to the unique shape of the trays, they do not deform over time. The guide rails in this oven are made of chrome-plated stainless steel and are dishwasher safe.

Hephaestus equipment provides for the presence of a skewer that rotates during the cooking process. This is very convenient, because you can make a good barbecue at home, evenly bake chicken and other products. The product is attached to a special hook. Also in the box there is a set of wire guides, a wire rack, a baking sheet and an aluminum pan to collect fat.

All models, except Hephaestus, are equipped with a convection function, thanks to which it is possible to obtain a fragrant crust on meat. There are also upper and lower heating modes (together and separately), a combination of heat with a grill and defrosting food. The last function involves turning on the fan without heating up to a certain temperature. The "pizza" mode is in Bosch and Electrolux. It involves baking on the first level for intense browning and crispiness. Usually the temperature is set slightly lower than during the upper and lower heating.

An unusual feature of Bosch is 3D volumetric heating for the most even distribution of heat throughout the brazier. Due to this, the products are thermally processed at all levels at the same speed.There is another unique mode - sparing hot air. It involves cooking dishes on the same level without preheating.

The Electrolux uses hot air to circulate throughout the brazier. The technology saves time, because the products do not have to be turned over. They cook evenly in a short amount of time. The speed of heating is also pleasing - in a matter of minutes the device reaches the set temperature.

Oddly enough, the backlight mode (without heating and fans) is not present in all models, but only in Hephaestus and Hans. For those who need to occasionally turn on the oven light for cleaning or checking, it is better to take a closer look at these models. Although Hephaestus has the fewest modes, the manufacturer has added a large list of recipes to the instructions. It indicates in which position the switches must be placed in order to cook a particular dish.

Bosch's special coating is called self-cleaning. The back wall with EcoClean Direct surface neutralizes fat deposits, so that the care of the oven is not difficult.As well as control thanks to the touch LCD display. A similar screen is installed in the Hans model. The Electrolux also has an LCD display that shows the remaining cooking time. It is not touch-sensitive, but it is quite easy to control the device. On the panel of each device there are regulators for selecting the desired mode, temperature and off timer.

The walls of the chamber in the Electrolux are covered with easy-to-clean enamel. As soon as fat gets there, it breaks down into water and carbon dioxide. You just need to periodically wipe the surface with a damp cloth to keep the oven clean and free of odors. This oven is criticized only for the large gap between the door and glass. Dust, dirt and wool get there, and it is difficult to fully wash the product.

Hansa uses smooth enamel with EasyClean technology. It is easy to clean, and the two-latch door design allows you to remove the glass and wash it without special tools. You won't have to do this often, as the Touch Free material doesn't retain fingerprints. Moreover, manufacturers have provided a steam cleaning function. All you have to do is pour water on a baking sheet, put it inside the oven and activate the Clean button on the display. After that, all the dirt will soften, it will be easy to remove them with a regular sponge.

Hans can also be called the most convenient oven. There is a digital timer with a delayed start system. It is able not only to turn off, but also turn on without the help of the owners at the specified time. One of the features of Hephaestus is the temperature adjustment during the cooking process. There is a button on the control panel with which you can add or subtract 5°C at any time.This built-in oven uses a hydrolysis steam cleaning system similar to Hansa.

Safety shutdown is provided in absolutely all built-in ovens, as well as recessed switches (they can be completely hidden in the control panel). But only Bosch has a child lock function. In addition, the outer walls are cooled by an active fan. Due to this, the case cools down quickly, there is no risk of heating to a dangerous temperature. The door with strong triple glass stays warm but not hot even at 250°C. That is why the manufacturer calls the model the most reliable and safe.

There are only 2 glasses in the Electrolux door, but it almost does not heat up due to the successful design and combination of materials. The triple glazing of the Hans door made it possible to reduce the temperature outside. It stays cold even after baking for a long time. At the same time, there is a heat-reflecting material inside to speed up and secure the cooking process.

Hephaestus managed to win in this category thanks to its impressive service life and a warranty extended to two years. And although the built-in oven has only 2 glasses in the door, it turned out to be quite strong and of high quality. Buyers note in the reviews high reliability, long-term operation without repair and replacement of parts.

By the number of requests to Yandex.Wordstat, the Bosch oven won. But the Electrolux model has become the most discussed - it is the leader in the number of reviews, and on different sites. Not all of them are positive, but customers continue to order this particular oven to form their own opinion. Users searched least frequently for Hansa. There are also few reviews of this model in comparison with other participants in the rating. The second place in terms of the number of search queries is Hephaestus. But even this did not help her become more popular, judging by the reviews and reviews.

Bosch has the highest price in the ranking - an oven for almost 30,000 rubles cannot be classified as a budget one. Although in the range of popular companies Smeg and Whirlpool there are also more expensive models. In second place in terms of cost was the Polish Hansa. Electrolux costs a little less, and the inexpensive Hephaestus oven has become the leader. At an amazingly low price, it is quite powerful and functional, enough volume for the house.

The Belarusian oven Hephaestus took the fourth place. It became the best in such important criteria as reliability and cost, but in other nominations the model received low marks. It has a rather rough design, few modes, and the volume is small compared to the dimensions and weight. As for Hans, household appliances pleasantly surprised by the quality and functionality. Although this oven is not as popular as its competitors, it can be recommended as an alternative to more expensive models. The device is convenient to use, and branded Procook baking sheets will provide comfortable and fast cooking without sticking.

Electrolux is one of the most popular built-in ovens. Unfortunately, due to the flimsy Polish assembly, the model often receives negative customer reviews. She managed to win in only one category thanks to the modern design and bright display with LED backlight. At the same time, the oven cannot be called an outsider - it received high marks in almost all criteria. That is why the product takes second place in comparison.

The Bosch oven was a clear winner. It is of high quality, reliable, with a large number of modes and modern design. The volume of the chamber allows you to cook several dishes at once, and the self-cleaning function makes it easier to care for the roaster. The disadvantages include only a high price, but the product is definitely worth the money spent. Given that all the models presented have a good rating, it makes sense to consider each of them as an oven for the home.The final decision depends on which criteria is more important for a particular buyer.
