Univa 3 Plate Plug-In Stove, Black – No Electrician Needed

The Univa U3051 is a 3-plate plug-in stove and oven combo that connects straight into a standard household wall socket — no electrician, no hardwiring, and no installation costs before you can start cooking. It’s built with A-class energy-efficient elements and a 58-litre oven (51L usable), all in a compact 500mm-wide footprint that fits a studio kitchen, garden cottage, or tight rental unit without giving up real cooking capacity.

If you’re moving into a rental, cottage, or student flat and don’t want the cost and hassle of an electrician wiring in a built-in stove, this is the practical fix — unbox it, plug it into any standard 230V socket, and you’re cooking. The three solid hotplates give you proper stovetop flexibility for pots and pans, while the oven runs from 110°C to 230°C with a simple 3-position selector, so you’re not fumbling through a confusing digital interface just to bake or roast.

The full air-flow oven door uses a multi-layered glass venting design that keeps the outer door cooler to the touch while the inside stays properly hot — a small detail that matters if you’ve got kids in the kitchen. Dual grill and bake settings let you roast a chicken and crisp a gratin topping without switching appliances, and it comes with a chromed oven rack and an easy-clean enamel roasting pan included, so you’re not buying accessories separately on day one. It’s also proudly made in South Africa, which means genuine spare parts and local service support if anything ever needs attention — not always guaranteed with imported budget stoves.

It suits first apartments, granny flats, staff quarters, student accommodation, or as a genuine second kitchen for a smallholding or holiday home — anywhere a full built-in kitchen renovation isn’t practical or affordable. At 33.6kg and 950mm x 500mm x 650mm, it’s freestanding and easy enough for two people to move into position. Order now and enjoy free delivery to your door anywhere in South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this stove need an electrician to install?

No. It’s designed to plug straight into a standard 230V household wall socket, the same as a kettle or microwave — there’s no hardwiring, no dedicated circuit, and no electrician call-out needed. Just position it, plug it in, and it’s ready to cook.

How many hotplates do I actually need for a small kitchen?

For a single person, couple, or small household, three hotplates is usually enough to run a pot of rice, a pan of veg, and a sauce at the same time without swapping pans mid-meal. The U3051’s 3-plate layout with a 58-litre oven covers most everyday cooking without the size or electrical demands of a full 4-plate stove.

Does Daily Discounts deliver stoves nationwide, and what’s included?

Yes, we deliver across South Africa, usually within 3 to 5 working days. This stove ships with a chromed oven rack and an enamel roasting pan already included, so there’s nothing extra to buy before you can start using it.
