The sides and front are enamelled white, the back is black. At the top there are three circular hobs. In the front a door for an oven.

September 12, 2023, SEAS-NVE Elmuseum donated Juul's low-voltage stove (1936) to Juul's Museum. As a physical model that can tell the output of his patented product. Supplemented with the below description from the Energy Museum:

"After carefully studying the needs of Danish housewives, Juul worked on the design of an electric stove. In order to save power and reduce risk, he created a model with hotplates operating at 6, 11 and 14 volts, depending on the amount of heat required. The hotplates heated up much more quickly than on earlier models. His patented design was put into production by the company Lauritz Knudsen (LK) in 1934 and remained popular until the late 1950s. Even in the 1950s, the low-voltage stoves were described as absolutely good and leading in terms of the plates' utility. They were only outcompeted when the spiral hob appeared on i.a. LK's stove "Safir"."
