Great panel

Natalya 5/28/2025

Model: WCE55US4HB Serial Number: DE0511291 Date of Purchase: February 7, 2025 Owner: Natalya Danilkina Rating: ™™™™™ (4 out of 5) I purchased the WCE55US4HB model in early February 2025, and overall, it has been a solid addition to my home. The design is sleek and modern, and it fits perfectly into my space. It performs efficiently and lives up to the expectations set by its brand reputation. Pros: ™ Quiet operation with minimal vibration/noise. ™ Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. ™ Easy-to-use control panel and clear settings. ™ Sleek design that blends well with modern interiors. Cons: ™ Slightly longer cycle times than expected. ™ The instruction manual could be more user-friendly for first-time users. ™ Limited smart connectivity features compared to newer models. After nearly four months of regular use, the unit continues to operate smoothly with no technical issues or drop in performance. I would recommend this model to anyone looking for reliable performance and durability. Final Verdict: A dependable and stylish choice with great value for money. Just a few minor tweaks would make it perfect.

Counter Stove

The big burners should be in front not in back. Just my opinion. Otherwise good.

BLACK Plastic Knobs :-(

John B. 2/1/2025

This WCE55US4HB doesn't appear to be offered as a WCE55US4HC, the last Letter indicating sheek Die Cast CHROME Knobs. The 30" version HAS these Chrome Knobs and is priced hundreds $$$ Less! Imagine my horror moving into a new executive small space apt with all Whirlpool appliances and immediately being turned-off with this cooktop. OK, model Number indicates BLACK but PLASTIC? Sorry. Dishwasher safe knobs is not a value feature for me. I see puchasing non plastic chrome knobs for the 30" model WCE55US0HC will be over $250. Better use that amount towards a nice Induction Cooktop. Builder did not use scrutiny when selecting this model.

Awful design and buttons

Pete 1/25/2025

Bought this in the summer and I really don't like it. Get any buttons wet and it freaks out and turns off.

Great small cooktop

DeeDot 1/13/2024

Purchased this 24" cooktop for my galley kitchenette. Absolutely perfect for a small footprint kitchen. Looks great; works great. Worth the investment. Highly recommended.

The elements heat up very fast. It is very easy to clean. I am happy to support an American company.

I™™ve had this cooktop about a month. It™™s hard to keep from appearing smeared. I also see small scratches appearing. I™™ve taken good care of it. It will be more work Than the gas cooktop
