5 of the best Hansa hobs
The appearance of the Hansa brand dates back to 1997, but built-in household appliances for its parent company began to be produced at a Polish factory back in 1992. The first export destination was the CIS market, where products began to be sold since 2000. Today, in addition to Germany, deliveries are made to 22 countries around the world. Compared to more successful brands such as Electrolux, Samsung, Gorenje, Ariston and some other branded Hansa hobs, although widely represented in retail chains in Russia, are less common in the kitchens of domestic consumers.
The manufacturer offers a model range that includes cooking appliances based on electric, including induction, gas, combined operating principles. It is easy to distinguish it already externally by its corporate laconic design and strict form lines. Therefore, it does not look organically in all interiors, but in minimalism, techno or gothic styles. The functionality depends on the model and price category. Currently, the Hansa brand belongs to the Amica group of companies headquartered in Poland. Our rating includes hobs that have received the attention of a Russian buyer.

Externally, the glass-ceramic hob of the device is no different from other representatives of the model range, except for the universal white color, which, however, not all consumers distinguish among the advantages. Here the developers have proposed the classic layout of the touch control panel. The induction type allows you to quickly prepare your favorite dishes, even in large containers. However, the power of the model is only 3.7 kW. Therefore, with the simultaneous use of 4 burners, two of which have a diameter of 22 cm, and two have a diameter of 18 cm, according to the owners, it may not be enough for the fourth burner to the maximum.
The functionality evokes positive emotions. In addition to indicators for the operation of the gas panel and the degree of heating, the equipment is equipped with timer options for each heating element, keeping warm, safety shutdown when liquid hits the surface and the Booster function. The design also has a 4-segment residual heat indicator, sensors for installed dishes, and sound indication. Protection from children is an additional plus of this model. Of the minuses, the following are called:
- no bounding box;
- there is no short-term pause function;
- weight 10.5 kg;
- high power consumption;
- the control unit heats up during prolonged operation;
- extraneous hum when activating the enhanced mode.

The model is of the standard electrical type, although the use of a Hi Light band heating element improves its performance. Already at the first acquaintance, it becomes obvious that the designers, in an attempt to improve the appearance and usability of the product, missed some points. For example, a mechanical control unit is located along the right side of the hob. According to reviews, some users did not like this innovation at all. However, in fairness, it must be said that this does not interfere with the movement of dishes on the panel. And the rotary knobs are equipped with a detailed scale of divisions, with which it is easy to control the degree of heating.
The kitchen electric appliance is equipped with 4 burners of two diameters - 18 and 14.5 cm, its power reaches 6 kW. Of the useful functions, there is a residual heat indicator valid for each burner. According to the owners of the equipment, when switched on, the heating elements quickly reach the desired state and also quickly the working zones cool down.A restraining metal frame located around the perimeter will prevent spilled liquid from flowing out of the glass-ceramic hob. By the way, it is more comfortable to wash the panel when it is still warm.

Independent stainless steel construction, cast iron grilles, front mechanical control panel are the classics of the genre chosen by the keepers of tradition. After all, the metal case of the panel, despite the increased weight, is reliable in operation, durable, and is accustomed to maintenance. And modern functionality is also very useful to the minimalist design.
All 4 different-sized burners are conveniently switched on using automatic ignition, and when liquid hits the working surface, the gas control function is activated. Therefore, you can be sure that the escaped milk will not burn and gas leakage will not occur. Among the advantages, the owners of the gas model call the placement of the largest and smallest burners in the first row (this makes it easy to move heavy large-sized pots), as well as the block type of grates. There are two of them, they belong to the left and right parts of the hob. This principle of arrangement helps to ensure the maintenance of the panel directly during the cooking process. Negative emotions are caused by the absence of the auto-ignition option and the wok burner.

The main advantage of this hob is that the manufacturer uses the Hansa brand of modern material for the body. Tempered glass withstands mechanical stress, is scratch and chip resistant, and is also effective at high temperatures. The surface does not melt, does not deform even after prolonged use. At the same time, the gas on it looks very advantageous. The gas model is equipped with retro-style grills for each of the 4 burners. Burners of different diameters, which is rational when placing dishes with a wide range of travel volumes.
An ambiguous reaction from users, according to reviews, is caused by the right side location of the mechanical control unit, the plastic switches of which heat up during prolonged operation of the hob. The advantages include a weight of 8.4 kg, a compact mounting area of 48.3x55.6 cm, the presence of a limiting silver frame and such useful functions as auto-ignition, gas control of each burner. Among the disadvantages, attention is drawn to the absence of a wok burner and a residual heat indicator.

The combined hob is already considered convenient in itself if there are frequent interruptions in gas or electricity. And this device received good reviews for its high-quality case made of practical stainless steel, the optimal ratio of functionality and cost. The model is equipped with 4 burners with a diameter of 4 to 18 cm, three of which are gas and one electric.
During operation, the technique does not cause complaints from users. The control unit with rotary switches located in the lower right corner is adjacent to the smallest burner, so it does not overheat. With a construction width of 56.6 cm, the product fits easily into a small niche. The functionality is not the widest, but the automatic electric ignition option simplifies the operation of the hob and makes it safer.
