At a glance
This 90cm ceramic cooktop is a strong mid-range choice for families and home cooks who want a spacious surface, flexible triple zone cooking and easy touch controls. Hob2Hood, Pause and keep warm functions add day-to-day convenience, while the ceramic glass is simple to wipe clean. The main limitation is that ceramic cooking can respond more slowly than premium induction alternatives.

Things to consider
Compared with premium induction cooktops, ceramic zones typically heat and cool more slowly, so response during rapid temperature changes is less immediate.
Family cooking suitability
High - 90cm width, four zones and a flexible triple zone make it well suited to cooking multiple dishes for households.
Easy cleaning score
9/10 - smooth black ceramic glass surface wipes down easily and touch controls avoid grime around knobs.
Kitchen integration fit
Strong - the 90cm format, low 5.1cm profile and 88 x 49cm cutout suit larger modern kitchen benchtops.
Safety rating
8/10 - child lock, safety cut-off, hot surface indication and fault indicators provide solid everyday protection.
Key benefits
- Triple variable zone: Adjusts to three zone sizes so you can better match smaller pans or larger pots.
- 2.3kW powerful zone: Gives you stronger heat on one zone for faster boiling and higher-heat cooking tasks.
- Hob2Hood compatibility: Works with compatible rangehoods to automatically manage ventilation while you cook.
- Touch controls: Lets you adjust settings quickly from the front of the cooktop without protruding knobs.
- Pause function: Temporarily drops active zones so you can step away briefly and then resume cooking.
- Programmable timer: Helps you keep track of cooking times for better control over busy meal prep.
- Residual heat indicator: Clearly shows when the surface is still hot after cooking.
- Child safety lock: Reduces the chance of accidental activation in family kitchens.
Q: Will the Westinghouse WHC943BE fit a standard 90cm cooktop cutout?
A: It suits a bench cutout of 880 x 490mm, with an overall size of 900mm wide, 520mm deep and 51mm high. That means it can replace some existing 90cm cooktops, but the cutout must match these measurements. Discuss with your electrician.
Q: Do I need special cookware for the WHC943BE ceramic cooktop?
A: No. Unlike induction, a ceramic cooktop does not require magnetic cookware, so most flat-based pots and pans can be used. For better heat contact and more even cooking, avoid warped bases and choose cookware that matches the zone size.
Q: What does the triple variable zone do on this Westinghouse cooktop?
A: It lets one cooking zone adjust to three different sizes, so you can better match a small pan, medium saucepan or larger pot. That helps reduce wasted heat around the base and gives more flexibility than a fixed-size ceramic zone.
Q: Can Hob2Hood on the WHC943BE work with any rangehood?
A: No. Hob2Hood only works with compatible rangehoods that support the same feature. When matched correctly, the rangehood can switch on and adjust fan speed automatically, but a standard rangehood will still need normal manual control.
Q: Is a ceramic cooktop like the WHC943BE a good option if I am changing from gas or replacing an older electric cooktop?
A: Yes. This model gives a smooth ceramic surface and touch controls without the cookware restrictions that come with induction. It can feel familiar for households moving from older electric cooking, while still adding features like a triple zone and timer.
Q: Does the glass surface on the WHC943BE stay hot after cooking?
A: Yes. Ceramic cooktops retain heat after a zone is switched off, which is why this model includes a residual heat indicator. That lingering heat can be useful for brief standing time, but the surface should still be treated as hot until the warning clears.
