Hansa is a well-known manufacturer of built-in kitchen appliances. Built-in hobs can be called one of the most popular areas, because today they, and not stoves, are the main element of a modern kitchen.
Hansa Company
The history of the Polish company Amica Wronki S. A. began with the creation of coal-gas stoves in the middle of the last century. And for twenty years the main consumer of its products was the Soviet Union.
Electric stoves have been produced since 1981, when the manufacturer entered the markets of East Germany. And in 1992, a new factory was opened, where they began to produce built-in household appliances, which were distinguished by their original design. These products became the basis of the future Hansa brand, created by the German company Magotra Handelsgeselshaft, which launched the production of household appliances on the basis of the enterprises of the Polish company. Today, built-in appliances under this brand are sold in many countries around the world.
Hansa built-in appliances have been supplied to Russia since the beginning of this century. Company specialistsstudy the market, peculiarities of preferences and tastes of domestic consumers, use new technologies, pay attention to safety and quality. Therefore, today the Hansa hob is not uncommon in Russian kitchens.
Hansa Benefits
One of the many advantages of Hansa hobs is the variety of design options, which allows you to choose a model for almost any kitchen, whether it is made in a classic style, retro or even fusion.
The work surface can be stainless or made of glass-ceramic in different colors: black, white, anthracite or ivory. The Hansa hob is all about functionality. As the company constantly invests in new technologies, its products are equipped with more and more new options and meet the requirements of ergonomics and safety.
For example, Hansa gas hobs, in addition to electric ignition, are equipped with an overheating protection system, burners of various configurations and power, including elements with a triple flame ring for a WOK pan, a Gas Control system that automatically stops the gas supply if the flame will go out (from a draft or liquid). Ceramic models have digital heating indicators and a child protection system. An important advantage is the democratic price of the products of this brand.
Assortment of hobs
The Hansa hob can be gas, electric and induction according to the type of heating. Combined panels are also produced: gas-electric, gas-ceramic andinduction ceramic. There are times when it is difficult to determine the type of surface, each of which is endowed with its own merits. It is the combined stoves that solve this problem.
Hobs also differ in the number of burners. Depending on the model, there can be from 2 to 5 of them, which means that the overall dimensions of the surface can also be different. The standard four-burner hob measures 60x50 cm, the compact two-burner model measures 30x50 cm, and the five-burner hob measures 80x50 cm.
Gas hobs
The Hansa gas hob is equipped with powerful burners that allow you to cook quickly, electric ignition that ensures use without a lighter or matches, and a gas control system is a must. These heaters use another great system - ECO-Gas, which saves more than 10% of the total gas volume.
The cheapest model Hansa BHGI 32100020 with two burners of different power, made of stainless steel, with enamelled grates costs a little more than 6 thousand rubles.
One of the most expensive, the new Hansa BHGI 83030 with an X-shaped burner arrangement and a three-row burner in the center made of stainless steel and cast-iron grates, is already six times more expensive - 26.5 thousand rubles.
Customer reviews of gas surfaces
Gas hob Hansa BHGI 63112015, the price of which is less than 10 thousand rubles, with a steel grate and all the necessary functions, differentburner power (900, 2 × 1800 and 2700 W), judging by the reviews, this combination attracted the attention of many buyers.
The main disadvantage is the need to frequently wipe the panel, as traces remain even from drops of clean water. But this is a feature of all stainless steel surfaces, regardless of the manufacturer. They also note a thin grate on which heavy pans cannot be placed. This limitation is indicated in the product data sheet. The same document also indicates the gas pressure necessary for the high-quality operation of the panel - 20 millibars. Not all apartments support this value. The standard pressure for Russia is 13 mb.
The advantages are electric ignition, for which a long cable is included in the package, protection against gas leakage, which works even if there is no voltage in the household network (protection is based on the use of electric ignition elements). Household men like the bent gas connection, which allows for a neat installation.
Electric hobs
The Hansa electric hob works on the (far from new) principle of heating coils. This brand is characterized by high safety of use. And for ceramic panels - also economical, as they heat up and cool down faster when the temperature decreases, that is, they consume less electricity.
Electric hobs are equipped with a residual heat indicator that shows for eachburners degree of heating, a timer to set a specific cooking time and keep it warm in each heating zone.
Safety guaranteed by overheating protection. The automatic boil function ensures that the burner operates at maximum power for a certain time and then lowers the temperature.
The cheapest Hansa BHEI 30130010 stainless steel electric hob with a nominal power of 3 kW, which is distributed over two burners (1.2 and 1.8 kW), and mechanically controlled costs a little more than 5 thousand rubles. A model with the same data, but made of glass-ceramic (BHCS 38120030), already costs twice as much.
The most modern Hansa BHCI 63708 glass-ceramic panel with four burners, one of which is double-circuit, and the other with an oval expansion zone with a total power of 7.4 kW and touch control, costs about 25 thousand rubles. This is Hansa's most requested hob to date.

One of the most popular and inexpensive models is the Hansa BHCI 63306 panel. It costs a little more than 13 thousand rubles, looks stylish (combination of black glass and stainless steel frame), all four HiLight burners, touch control panel, full feature set.
Buyers appreciate it well, like the modern stylish look, affordable price. Unlikestainless surfaces it is easy to wash, which is also noted as an advantage. In addition, the panel is easy to connect and heats up quickly.
Users consider the sensor settings to be disadvantages, it switches slowly, and you have to go through all the burners every time you adjust the temperature of one. But everyone agrees that the comments are not critical, just management requires certain skills.
Induction hobs
The Hansa induction hob, like heating appliances from other manufacturers, which create an electromagnetic field when in contact with the metal bottom of the cookware, remains cold during operation. Many different functions make the panel easy to use and safe.
The Booster function increases the heating power, thereby speeding up the cooking process. If suddenly the situation develops in such a way that you need to interrupt the cooking process for a while, then the Stop & Go function allows you to do this. The child lock system protects not only from turning the appliance on and off at the wrong time, but also from resetting the settings.
The induction hob itself recognizes the presence of dishes and its dimensions. It automatically turns on the burner and selects its power according to the diameter of the pot.
Naturally, the presence of such modern features is reflected in the price. The cheapest induction hob Hansa BHI 68300 with a rated power of 7.0 kW and with touch controls costs more than 16 thousand rubles.
New Hansa BHI 69307 induction hob withfour burners of the same power, touch control and electronic display costs almost 46 thousand.
Customer Reviews
The Hansa BHI 68014 7 kW hob with four burners and touch control is also a new development of the company, but it has already become popular and causes a lot of feedback. It costs a little more than 18 thousand rubles, but it cooks quickly, does not let you forget about the dish that is cooked on it, is easy to clean, does not heat the kitchen and looks great.
Among the shortcomings, users note that the timer is set to only one burner, the panel buzzes loudly enough during operation, like all induction cookers. There is another significant drawback for a certain category of people: according to reviews, pancakes cannot be baked on this panel due to the energy-saving mode of operation.
Summing up, we can say that among the reliable and high-quality Hansa products, you can choose a hob for every taste and income, for different operating conditions and kitchen design.
