Good cooktop
It’s a good cooktop for its price. The only minor issue compared with my previous cooktop is that this one takes a little bit longer (you have to turn and press the switch for like 2-3 seconds) to light the fire.

Disappointed with service
The product is great, the service from the Good Guys was disappointing, the lack of communication and updates were not satisfactory

Over the moon
This has replaced a 25yr old Westinghouse Gas Cook Top. It looks great, it operates with ease, and the best thing of all is my cooking utensils sit level and secure.

At a glance
The Westinghouse WHG640SC is a practical 60cm four-burner gas cooktop for households wanting straightforward daily cooking and an easy replacement fit. Its main strengths are simple under-knob ignition, flame failure protection, stable trivets and a stainless steel surface that wipes down easily. It also offers natural gas or LPG installation flexibility. One limitation is that its burner power and trivet construction are more basic than premium cooktops.

Things to consider
Compared with premium gas cooktops, this model has a more modest 12.1 MJ/h rapid burner and less heavy-duty trivet construction, so demanding cooks may prefer a higher-output model with cast iron supports.
Home chef suitability score
7/10 - a solid everyday cooktop with a useful rapid burner, but it is not as high-powered or heavy-duty as enthusiast-focused models.
Kitchen space fit
Best suited to standard 60cm kitchen layouts and replacement installations.
Easy cleaning rating
8/10 - the stainless steel surface is straightforward to wipe down after daily use.
Simmer control performance
7/10 - suitable for general day-to-day cooking, though specialist cooks may want finer low-heat control from higher-end burners.
Installation flexibility
8/10 - the 60cm format suits common cut-outs and the included conversion kit supports natural gas or LPG installation by a licensed tradesperson.
Key benefits
- Four Burner Layout: Lets you cook multiple dishes at once for smoother meal preparation.
- 12.1 MJ/h Rapid Burner: Provides strong heat for stir fries, boiling and other high-heat cooking tasks.
- Under-Knob Electronic Ignition: Starts burners quickly and simply without needing a separate lighter.
- Flame Failure Protection: Automatically shuts off the gas if a burner flame goes out unexpectedly.
- Stainless Steel Surface: Helps make everyday wipe-downs and spill clean-up easier.
- Stable Trivets: Helps keep pots and pans steady during regular cooking.
- 60cm Cooktop Size: Suits common benchtop cut-outs for many replacement and renovation projects.
- LP Gas Conversion Kit Included: Gives a licensed installer flexibility to set the cooktop up for natural gas or LPG.
Q: Will this cooktop fit a standard 60cm replacement cut-out?
A: Usually, yes. WHG640SC is 600 mm wide, 535 mm deep and 45 mm high, which suits many standard 60 cm cooktop replacements. Benchtop cut-out sizes vary, so match the cavity dimensions as well, not just the appliance width.
Q: Can it be installed for LPG as well as natural gas?
A: Yes. WHG640SC includes an LP gas conversion kit, so it can be set up for natural gas or LPG. Gas connection and conversion need to be done by a licensed tradesperson, because this is not a plug-in changeover.
Q: Does the ignition light burners straight away or need holding?
A: No. This model uses under-knob ignition, so you turn and press the knob to light the burner rather than using a separate button. In normal use you may need to hold the knob briefly while the flame failure device confirms the flame is established.
Q: Are the trivets cast iron or enamel wire supports?
A: No. WHG640SC uses stable wire trivets with an enamel finish, not heavier cast iron pan supports. They are practical for everyday cooking and simpler to lift off for wiping the surface, but they do not have the heavier feel of premium trivets.
Q: Is the wok burner strong enough for stir fry cooking?
A: Yes. WHG640SC has a 12.1 MJ/h wok burner, which is the highest-output burner on this cooktop for fast boiling and stir frying. It suits everyday high-heat cooking, but the four-burner layout is still aimed at general home use rather than specialist wok setups.
Q: How easy is the stainless steel surface to clean daily?
A: Yes. The stainless steel top is straightforward to wipe down after daily cooking, and the graphics are laser etched so they are less likely to wear off with normal cleaning. Spills around the burners and trivets still need regular hand cleaning.
