Many owners of the model consider one of the main advantages of its non-marking colors in combination with a tempered glass case. Such a working surface can be easily washed with ordinary detergents, perfectly withstands high temperature conditions for a long time, and cracks do not appear on it. The plastic rotary knobs located on the front right side do not interfere with the movement of the cookware on the burners and do not heat up. The kitchen device can be connected to natural gas and bottled gas, for which the corresponding nozzles are provided in the set.

Of the 4 available cooking zones, two are equipped with a touch timer, which switches off automatically with a sound after a maximum of 99 minutes. However, this useful element periodically fails and causes complaints from some users. The owners attribute to the asset the presence of a wok gas burner, which is a three-circuit one. This means that even dishes with a thick bottom on it heats up quickly enough. Of the advantages of the model, the functions of automatic electric ignition of the hob and gas control stand out, thanks to which there is no fear that a leak may occur if boiling liquid floods the burner.

The Slovenian manufacturer offers to take a fresh look at the workspace of the hob and use it more practically. For this, the engineers arranged 4 burners in a diamond-shaped order. Now, even large-sized dishes do not interfere with the neighboring ones while placing them at the same time. The cast iron grate also has a big plus and a slightly smaller minus. In the first case, its shape is convenient, since any containers can be easily moved without fear that they will slide and overturn. The downside is that the accessory is not a double-sided type, it is installed in only one position.

Of the usefulness in the reviews, the owners note the different diameters of the burners. One of them is for wok dishes, with a three-circuit variety. This allows you to speed up the cooking process and heat the contents of the dishes more evenly. Another positive point - the hob can work with pipe gas, centralized, and balloon gas. For this, there are special nozzles in the kit. The undoubted advantages also include the functions of automatic electric ignition, gas control, that is, a protective shutdown when moisture enters the heated zone. Relative disadvantages are the enamelled surface of the panel, from which paint will peel off, the difficulty of maintaining the matte hob and brushed aluminum base of gas burners, plastic switches.

Here, the proprietary approach to the use of any type of energy source has been preserved, that is, in addition to electricity, you can connect both main gas and bottled gas. For this, the required nozzles are included in the package. Low weight (9 kg) is another advantage of the model, which is especially important when built into elegant kitchen furniture.

The material for the hob is durable glass-ceramic, which is distinguished by its elegant appearance, practicality, and good service life. Such a product of the Goreniye brand will ideally complement any interior style. Among the functionality, of particular interest are the options for automatic electric ignition, gas control, and residual heat indication. Moreover, in the latter case, the state of each burner is monitored. Among the shortcomings in the reviews is the absence of a limiting metal frame around the perimeter of the panel, which prevents the liquid from spreading.
