Though Sunflame also manufactures all kinds of gas stoves, my personal favourite is their two-burner model for it is reliable than most other dual burner gas stoves in a similar category.

High-quality brass burners and hardened glass top make everyday cooking much hassle-free.

The prestige four-burner gas stove is the best in this price range. Along with great brand value, this prestige gas stove offers great pan support and is ideal for bigger families and kitchens.

Kaff does offer a wide range of built-in kitchen appliances and accessories for modular kitchens; their KCM69 4 Burner cooktop with toughened black glass is perfect for heavy-duty kitchens.

The brass burners and metal knobs are sturdy and will last you a long time.

5. Faber

Faber makes gas stoves in the higher price range but they are worth every penny spent. The best and most economically viable model is the 3 burner, auto ignition hob top – HCT 753-SR CRS LBK CI. The three burners are placed very conveniently as compared with other brands in the same category. The cast iron pan support is tough and there is a 5-year warranty on burner and valve.

The Bosch four-burner hob top with tempered glass is an aesthetic addition to your kitchen. With great utility, it just makes your countertop more attractive and makes you want to stay near the stove for a longer time.

This gas stove is fuel-efficient and the individual steel pan supports are a pleasure to work with.

7. Elica

Elica is a close competitor to Faber gas stoves. Elica 4 burner hob top comes with a premium finish glass top. What works for me are the uniquely placed burners and knobs which are placed two at each side which makes functioning easier.

8. Butterfly

The two burners stainless steel gas stove is the best one for people living alone or with a roommate or partner. They are economic, efficient and easy to clean. Their pan support is excellent and the knobs are sturdy and don’t break easily.

9. Lifelong

The 3 burner manual ignition glass top gas stove by Lifelong is truly what the name suggests. Brass burners, steel pan support and nylon coated heat resistant knobs are just the requirements of a long-lasting gas stove in the Indian kitchen.
