Why this matters in Kenya

In Kenyan kitchens — whether in Nairobi flats, Mombasa apartments or upcountry homes — a reliable cooker that supports both gas and electric modes fits well. With frequent fluctuations in electricity and the continued reliance on gas, the MST624HI/TS6W offers flexibility: use gas for fast hob cooking; electric for baking or grilling when desired. Its safety features help where gas cylinders are stored indoors, while the robust construction suits higher-use households.

Trade-Offs & Things to Consider

• Size & space: At 60 × 60 cm, it’s standard size — but if your kitchen is small or you have limited ventilation, space planning is essential.

• Power consumption: The electric oven functions will use more electricity. In areas with high tariffs or unstable supply, running costs matter.

• Maintenance: The hob and oven you need the advanced features.

• Spare parts & service: Ensure availability of parts and service support in Kenya (Nairobi or regional dealer) to keep the appliance functional long-term.
