Electric ignition vs Magnetic Ignition Gas Stove

For gas stove under $100, there are 2 kind of flame ignition. Magnetic or mechanic ignition and electric ignition. Both have their own benefit. Electric ignition is silent, so there is no sound when you turn on your stove, but you need battery as an exchange. The other hand, magnetic ignition don't need any batteries, but it sound lound to start burning. The weakness of electric ignition, the pin to make spark is located so close to the burner, that made the pin heaten while cooking. Sometime that make the spark won't turn on. With magnetic ignition, the pin located far from the burner, but it need some sprayer to send flame to the burner. Sometime, the sprayer don't work properly.

Magnetic ignition is easier to maintain, because it do not need any electrical instrument. Electronic instrument rather difficult to find. For gas stove bellow $100, you prefer use the magnetic / mechanic ignition.
