Buying a gas stove is associated with a number of difficulties. And the reason for this is a large number of proposals. Often you learn about the shortcomings of the model only after its long operation. But it also happens that annoying little things complicate the process of cooking and caring for a gas stove, which causes discomfort in the mistress.
In support of CIS producers consider the pros and cons of gas stoves of Hefest and Darina trademarks. To begin with, I want to note that both brands are in approximately the same price category. They are bright representatives of the economy class. The most popular in each group are Hephaestus 3200-05 and Darina 1BGM441008W.It is these models that will be considered.

Difficult choice in difficult conditions
As you can see from the reviews, each model has strengths, but lacks and drawbacks. To answer the question: "Hephaestus or Darina?" - you need to clearly imagine how exactly the stove will be used.
Factors influencing the choice of Darina:
- small kitchen dimensions;
- frequent use of the oven;
- small children.
Darina is a compact cooker, which is very convenient for a small kitchen. Virtually all buyers have confirmed the good work of the oven. At a high level and the development of security systems( gas control and electric ignition), which is suitable for a family where there are young children.
Factors influencing the choice of Hephaestus:
- large family;
- active use of top burners;
- need for an additional drawer for dishes.
Although there are a lot of complaints about oven work in Hephaestus, absolutely all customers are satisfied with the practicality of the top panel. On it are placed volumetric pans, and it is possible to use simultaneously 4 hotplates.
The final conclusion is this: Hephaestus wins. And Darina is not on the way with gas stoves, where priority is given to cooking surfaces, not to ovens.
