Good old buttons
We twice had a bad experience with cooktops touch controls, once when they couldn't be turned off, second time when they could be turned on any more. Consequently, we ordered Westinghouse cooktop with good old button controls and we couldn't be happier with it.

At a glance
The Westinghouse 60cm Ceramic Cooktop is a practical built-in option for everyday home cooking. It suits households that want simple controls, four usable zones and an easy-to-wipe ceramic glass surface. Nine power levels help with simmering, frying and boiling. Its main limitation is that it focuses on basic functionality, so it lacks the extra automation and premium features found on higher-end cooktops.

Things to consider
This model is designed for straightforward cooking rather than advanced convenience, so it does not offer the premium extras some buyers may want such as touch controls, specialised cooking functions or higher-end automation.
Family cooking suitability
7/10 - four zones support routine family meal prep, though the feature set is more basic than larger or more flexible premium cooktops.
Easy cleaning score
8/10 - the smooth ceramic glass surface is simple to wipe down after daily cooking.
Kitchen integration fit
Strong fit for standard 60cm built-in kitchen layouts and compact-to-average household benchtops.
Safety rating
7/10 - straightforward manual controls are easy to understand, though it is positioned as a simpler cooktop rather than a feature-rich premium model.
Key benefits
- Four Cooking Zones: Lets you cook multiple dishes at once for easier meal prep.
- Nine Power Levels: Gives you finer control over heat for simmering, frying and boiling.
- Knob Controls: Makes heat adjustments quick and intuitive while you cook.
- Ceramic Glass Surface: Creates a sleek look and is easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- 60cm Built-in Format: Fits a standard kitchen footprint, making it a practical choice for many homes.
- Black Finish: Blends easily with modern kitchen styles and darker appliance palettes.
- 2 Year Manufacturer's Warranty: Adds peace of mind for everyday household use.
Q: Will this ceramic cooktop work with my current pots and pans?
A: Yes, if your cookware has a flat, stable base. This ceramic cooktop suits standard electric-cooktop cookware and does not need induction-compatible pans, but warped or rough bases can heat less evenly and mark the glass.
Q: Is this a good replacement for an older knob-control electric cooktop?
A: Yes. WHC642BC suits buyers replacing a basic electric or ceramic cooktop because it keeps familiar knob controls and straightforward heat selection. It is built in for a 60cm kitchen space, so the bench cutout still needs to match.
Q: Does the black ceramic surface show marks from everyday cooking?
A: Yes, a black ceramic surface can show splatters, streaks and pan marks more easily than patterned finishes. WHC642BC wipes clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, but burnt-on spills are best cleaned off promptly after the zone cools.
Q: Can you run different heat levels on separate zones together?
A: Yes. WHC642BC has 4 cooking zones and 9 power levels, so different dishes can be cooked at different heat settings at the same time. It is still a straightforward ceramic cooktop, not a flexible-zone or induction-style layout.
Q: Why choose this model instead of an induction cooktop?
A: It suits buyers who want simple electric cooking with knob controls and a familiar ceramic surface. WHC642BC is easier to transition to if you do not want induction-specific cookware requirements, but it does not offer induction-style rapid heating.
