Sleek modern design
I’m very happy with the Westing Powerlite 60cm Induction Cooktop. It has a sleek, modern design and looks great in the kitchen, while also being very practical for everyday cooking. The induction heating is fast and responsive, and the temperature control makes it easy to go from high heat for boiling to a lower setting for simmering. The cooktop is also much easier to clean than a traditional gas or ceramic cooktop, as the smooth surface can simply be wiped down after cooking.

Great product
I love how easy this stove top is to clean as it has no knobs to work around - only a flat surface. I also think that the feature of it are great - I did not think I would use the 'pause' function when I first bought it but it has proven to come in handy! I have only been using it for a few weeks at this point, but so far I am very happy with it!

Easy to use
I love how the induction cooktop’s power boost gets heat going instantly, making boiling water or heating a pan for searing incredibly fast. The zone timers give me real freedom in the kitchen, letting me set cooking times so the heat switches off automatically while I focus on everything else. The Pause function is another standout, if I’m interrupted, it drops all zones to the lowest setting so nothing burns. It’s also effortless to clean, and the residual heat indicators give me confidence about when the surface is safe to wipe. Overall, it’s a smart, responsive cooktop that makes everyday cooking easier and more enjoyable.

Westing Powerlite 60cm Induction Cooktop
I bought this cooktop mainly because it connects to standard wiring, which completely saved me from paying for an expensive kitchen switchboard upgrade. It cooks incredibly fast, and boiling a big pot of pasta water takes less than three minutes using the fantastic "Boost" setting. Cleaning is also an absolute breeze because the glass stays relatively cool, meaning spilled food never bakes onto the surface and easily wipes clean with a damp cloth.The power management system is very smart, allowing you to cook normal family dinners smoothly and efficiently across the zones. The touch controls are highly responsive, and the steady simmer settings make it incredibly easy to melt chocolate or keep delicate sauces at the perfect temperature without burning. It is a highly reliable, budget-friendly choice that makes upgrading to modern induction cooking completely stress-free.

At a glance
The Westinghouse Powerlite 60cm Induction Cooktop is a four-zone model designed for everyday family cooking and easy induction upgrades. It suits medium-sized households wanting fast heat, simple touch controls and low-maintenance cleaning. Key strengths are PowerReady compatibility, PowerBoost and practical safety features. A limitation is that its 60cm, four-zone layout offers less cooking space than larger premium cooktops.

- Medium-Sized Households
Who it’s for

- Households Upgrading from Older Electric Cooktops
Things to consider
Its 60cm four-zone design is practical for most homes, but larger or more premium cooktops can offer more surface area, extra zones or more advanced cooking functions.
Family cooking suitability
8/10 - four zones, timer and pause function make it well suited to everyday family meals and juggling multiple pots.
Energy efficiency score
8/10 - induction cooking transfers heat directly to cookware, and PowerBoost helps reduce waiting time for high-heat tasks.
Cookware compatibility assessment
Requires induction-compatible cookware; pot sensors help ensure suitable pans are used.
Safety rating
9/10 - includes child lock, hot surface indicator, residual heat warning lamps and pot sensing for added everyday safety.
Ease of cleaning
9/10 - the flat black ceramic glass surface is easy to wipe clean and has fewer crevices than traditional cooktops.
Key benefits
- PowerReady: Designed to work with standard household power, making induction upgrades easier in suitable homes.
- PowerBoost: Rapidly increases heat to bring water to the boil faster or quickly heat pans when time is short.
- Touch slide controls: Lets you adjust heat levels quickly and directly from the front control area.
- Pause function: Drops active zones to the lowest setting so you can step away briefly without fully stopping cooking.
- Hob2Hood connectivity: Allows compatible rangehoods to automatically respond as cooking intensity changes.
- Programmable timer: Helps manage multiple dishes more easily by tracking cooking time for busy meal prep.
- Child lock: Reduces the chance of accidental changes to settings in family households.
- Black ceramic glass surface: Creates a modern look and wipes down easily after everyday cooking.
Q: Is the Westinghouse WHI642BE designed to run on standard household power?
A: Yes. This PowerReady induction cooktop is built to make switching from an older electric cooktop easier on standard household power, without the higher current some induction models need. Circuit suitability still needs checking for your home.
Q: Will any rangehood work with the Hob2Hood feature on this cooktop?
A: No. Hob2Hood only works with compatible rangehoods that support the same automatic communication feature. If your rangehood is not compatible, the cooktop still works normally, but the fan and light will need to be operated manually.
Q: What cookware works best on the Westinghouse WHI642BE induction cooktop?
A: Induction cookware with a magnetic base works best on this model. Pots and pans made from cast iron or magnetic stainless steel are usually suitable, while aluminium, copper or glass cookware needs an induction-compatible base to heat properly.
Q: Does a 60cm cooktop size mean the WHI642BE will fit any existing 60cm cut-out?
A: No. The cooktop itself measures 590mm wide, 520mm deep and 51mm high, but a 60cm label does not guarantee a drop-in fit. Existing benchtop cut-out size, edge clearances and ventilation space still need to be checked before replacing an older model.
Q: What is the main trade-off of choosing this PowerReady induction cooktop over a higher-current model?
A: The main advantage is easier electrical compatibility, but the focus is on simplified power requirements rather than maximum output across every zone at once. For heavy multi-zone cooking, confirm the circuit setup suits your usage. Discuss with your electrician.
Q: Does the Pause function turn the WHI642BE off completely?
A: No. Pause drops all active induction zones to the lowest setting, then restores the previous settings when resumed. It is useful for short interruptions, such as answering the door, but it is not the same as switching the cooktop off fully.
