Westpoint WCER5504E0 Electric Cooker with 4 Plates and 56L Oven

Our review

This Westpoint cooker is a freestanding electric unit that combines four electric plates on top with a 56-litre oven below, and the oven includes a grill, thermostat, oven lamp, timer and a turn function. A glass lid covers the plates when they are not in use. It runs on 220–240 V at 50–60 Hz, so it needs a suitable mains supply rather than gas. It suits households that cook several dishes at once and want to bake, roast or grill in the same appliance, and it can work well where a reliable electricity connection is available. Before buying, check your kitchen's wiring and the socket or circuit you plan to use, since four plates and an oven can draw a lot of power together. Also measure the space where it will stand, because a cooker of this size needs clearance around it. Compared with a gas cooker, you get consistent oven control and no refilling, but you depend on the grid. Compare against other electric cookers by oven capacity, number of plates and whether a grill and timer are included, since those are the features that affect daily use most. The unit is available on Sokonia.
