Electric stove or hob

Basically, it is a question of whether you need an oven and how much are you willing to spend on design solutions in your kitchen. Almost identical functionality can be obtained from stoves and separate appliances, but at different prices.

With induction, everything is unambiguous: they are produced only in the form of panels - built-in and "country" desktop. But without an oven.
