Gas cooker or electric cooker – which one suits you?
The first and most decisive choice when buying a cooker is the type: gas or electric. Both have their own advantages and drawbacks, and the right choice depends largely on your living situation.
A gas cooker responds instantly when you turn the knob, gives a visible flame and is often more economical to run when you cook a lot. The drawback is that you need a gas connection. An electric cooker is easier to connect, needs no gas pipe and gives an even heat distribution. That makes it suitable for almost any home.
The practical rule: does the kitchen have a gas connection? If so, a gas cooker is a serious option. If not, go for an electric model.
Gas cooker: what do you need to know?
A gas cooker is available with 4 or 6 burners. For an average household 4 burners are perfectly sufficient; larger households or keen cooks more often go for 6. Flame failure protection is a standard safety feature on modern gas cookers: the gas supply stops automatically if the flame goes out.
Gas cookers are particularly popular with landlords and first-time buyers. The purchase price is lower than for many electric models, the controls are simple and the cooker is ready to use straight away, provided a gas connection is in place.
Electric cooker: what do you need to know?
Electric cookers are available with ceramic or glass-ceramic cooking zones. Glass ceramic looks sleek and is easier to clean than traditional gas burners. There are no gaps or pan supports for food to fall into.
If there is no gas connection – which is increasingly the case in newer flats – an electric cooker is the logical choice. Connecting it is simple, via a standard 230V or 400V electricity supply, depending on the model.
What should you look out for when buying a cooker?
Buying a cooker is not something you do every day. So take a moment to go through the following points before you make a decision.
- Width: the standard size is 60 cm wide. If you have more space and cook a lot, a 90 cm model offers extra comfort with more cooking zones and a bigger oven.
- Number of cooking zones or burners: match this to the way you cook. If you regularly cook for a big family, go for more cooking zones.
- Type of oven: a multifunction oven with fan-assisted cooking is more versatile than a conventional oven. Handy if you also want to bake or grill.
- Energy rating: the higher up the A–G scale, the more economical the cooker is to run. Relevant if you cook intensively every day.
- Colour and finish: choose stainless steel, black or white, depending on what suits your kitchen.
- Grill and fan-assisted function: a built-in grill and fan-assisted cooking add considerably to what you can do with the oven.
Cooker dimensions and measurements
The standard width of 60 cm fits in practically every standard kitchen. The depth averages 60 cm and the height including the adjustable feet is usually 85 to 90 cm – ideal for a standard worktop.
Always measure the space available in your kitchen, including the space behind the cooker for the connection point. With a gas connection in particular it is important that there is enough room for the gas hose and the shut-off valve. Would you rather keep your hob and oven separate? Then also take a look at our range of built-in ovens or a separate hob.
Heinner cookers – the smart choice without the brand premium
Heinner is the brand Pro Witgoed focuses on for cookers. Not because it is the best-known name, but because it offers the best value for money. Heinner products are fully tested and certified for the European market and meet all the applicable safety and quality standards.
What you get with a Heinner cooker:
- 5 year full warranty, included as standard
- Available in gas and electric versions
- Solid build for everyday use
- No hidden costs and no brand premium
For first-time buyers Heinner is an excellent choice: a complete, reliable cooker without spending a fortune. Landlords benefit from the low purchase price and the long warranty period, which keeps unexpected service costs to a minimum. See all Heinner cookers in our range.
Buying a cooker for a rental property – what to look out for
As a landlord you look at a cooker differently from a private buyer. Luxury matters less; sturdiness, simplicity and low costs are the priorities.
- Go for sturdiness: a cooker in a rental property has to cope with heavy use by a changing set of residents.
- Simple controls: intuitive controls without complicated menus are a plus for tenants who are not used to the appliance.
- Check the type of connection: match the cooker to the connection already in the property – gas or electric.
- A long warranty: the 5 year warranty from Pro Witgoed protects you as a landlord against unexpected repair costs.
- Cheap does not have to mean poor: with Heinner you do not give up quality, even though the price is considerably lower than with the big brands.

Common mistakes when buying a cooker
To make sure you do not regret your purchase afterwards, here are the most common mistakes:
- Not measuring up: a cooker that is one centimetre too wide simply will not fit. Always measure the gap before you order.
- Choosing on brand name: a well-known brand name says nothing about how suitable the appliance is for your situation. Compare the specifications and the price.
- Forgetting the connection: check in advance whether there is a gas or electricity connection at the spot you have in mind.
- Not checking the warranty: with cheap suppliers the warranty period is sometimes minimal. At Pro Witgoed 5 years is standard.
- Too few cooking zones: for a busy household with several people, 4 cooking zones can be on the tight side.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a gas cooker and an electric cooker?
A gas cooker works with an open flame and requires a gas connection. It responds quickly to changes in temperature.

Which cooker is the cheapest to run?
That depends on energy prices at the time and on the way you cook. For intensive, long cooking sessions gas is usually cheaper. For occasional use there is little difference. Also look at the energy rating of the cooker for an indication of consumption.
