The Whirlpool
WFE550S0LZ is part of the
Ranges test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Electric smoothtop ranges
models like the WFE550S0LZ are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Cooktop high
This reflects how quickly the most powerful element could raise a large pot of water from room temperature to a near boil.
Cooktop low
This reflects how well the lowest-powered element or burner kept a low temperature as for melting chocolate. We also set the most powerful element to its lowest setting to test its ability to hold a large pot of tomato sauce below a boil.
Baking
This reflects the evenness of cookies and cakes in multi-rack baking tests.
