Westinghouse WHC742BC
Good Points
- Basic control dials, easy to use with some written labelling.
- Very good element positioning, large cooking zone left front and simmer cooking zone right front.
- Largest cooking zone can accommodate a pan up to 22cm.
- No metal edging around cooktop.
- Dial knobs are removable, a rubber seal around the knobs prevents spillages from going into workings.
Bad Points
- No separate ON indicator light. The only way the user will know that the cooktop is on is from the light of the element of the cooking zone and if the residual heat indicator light is on (or the knob).
- Some dials are close to cooking zones. Dial controls may become hot.
- Surface area may not accommodate all cooking zones at the same time.
- Pan slides easily on glass surface when stirring.
- Controls have no tactile feedback so setting may not be accurate.
- A little fiddly cleaning around control dials.
- Any spills around or on the cooking zone can bake on, may need special ceramic glass cleaner or a glass scraper to remove.
- No child proof lock on controls, however less likely for children to access controls, positioned along right side.
- Basic instructions no cooking guides. Multiple models in the one manual can be a little confusing.
