What is a range, you may ask? A range is a generic term for a kitchen appliance with a cooktop and an oven integrated into one unit. "Oh," you're probably thinking, "you mean a stove." Or maybe you prefer the word "oven."

We all agree on one thing, though: Whether you're warming up canned soup or cooking a roast for a big party, your range is one of the heavy hitters in your kitchen.

There are four different types of ranges: gas, electric, induction, and dual-fuel.

While these different fuel types appeal to very different types of chefs, we've tested many ranges and judged them on the same criteria: ease of use, speediness, and cooking/baking abilities. After countless hours in the lab, we can say with certainty that we've found some of the best ranges out there.

The Café CHS900P2MS1 (available at Best Buy for $3,869.99) is our top pick for an induction range because it boasts incredibly fast cooktop heating, even baking, and a wonderfully sleek design. We also love the Whirlpool WGE745C0FS (available at Appliances Connection) electric range, and the Samsung NX58K9500WG (available at Best Buy for $3,869.99) gas range.

Editor's Note: Appliances purchases are a large investment of both money and time. We’ve not only compiled lists of the best ranges to shop, but also the best places to buy in-stock appliances right now and the best times of year to buy appliances to take advantage of sales and new releases.

Best Induction Range
Café CHS900P2MS1

This induction range is definitely easy on the eyes, with a sleek touchscreen interface and customizable brushed hardware that comes in a variety of colors. But it's more than just a pretty face.

During testing, we found that the Café CHS900P2MS1 cooktop particularly excels compared to competitors, with a boiling rate of just 62 seconds—which is 13% faster than average. It can also maintain both low and high temperatures excellently—making it great for melting, searing, and everything in between.

The oven performance is also stellar in this range, boasting even heating and steady temperatures, especially in convection mode. The high-quality build results in excellent heat insulation.

Beyond the basics, the CHS900P2MS1 also has plenty of special features, including a range of pre-programmed oven settings that are easily accessible on the touchscreen, and Wi-Fi compatibility that allows you to tweak oven and cooktop settings from afar. This range is also compatible with Hestan Cue Smart Cookware, which takes its high-tech capabilities even further.

For anyone in the market for an attractive, well-functioning, and user-friendly induction range, the Café CHS900P2MS1 is a stellar pick.

Pros

  • Fast boiling

  • Even baking

  • Attractive design

  • Intuitive controls

Cons

  • Preheat times tend to be long

The Whirlpool WGE745C0FS is the best electric range we've tested.

Best Electric Range
Whirlpool WGE745C0FS

The Whirlpool WGE745C0FS double oven electric range is a knockout across the board. It passed every test we threw at it with flying colors, from boiling water to baking pizza. Its ability to multitask particularly sets it apart from other models. We loved having the option to bake two dishes at different temperatures simultaneously and fit at least four pots on the cooktop at once.

This range is chock-full of features, including Frozen Bake, Rapid Preheat, and Sabbath Mode. You won’t find an air fry setting, but the True Convection mode will produce the same deliciously crispy results. It's available in stainless steel, black, and white finishes, so it’s designed to match most kitchens. Regardless of the finish, we like the look of this range in particular because of the ultra-sleek smooth cooktop.

The only small downside we could find to this range was the uneven doneness of cookies when we tested True Convection mode. That said, this is still the top electric range we’ve tested.

Pros

  • Effective burners

  • Large oven capacity and spacious cooktop

  • Bakes evenly across a single tray

Cons

  • Lower oven doesn't bake cookies evenly between two trays

Best Dual Fuel
KitchenAid KSDB900ESS

The KitchenAid KSDB900ESS dual-fuel slide-in range has a sleek pro-style aesthetic, with shiny knobs to control the gas burners and a full touch panel to control the electric oven.

Between the oven and the baking drawer (which has three modes: bake, slow bake, and keep warm), the combined oven capacity is 7 cu. ft. That offers plenty of space for large dinner parties or food-heavy holidays. Other nice touches include a steam rack for steam baking, a wireless meat probe, and AquaLift self-clean technology.

While some of our test cookies came out a bit unevenly baked, the cakes came out perfectly and evenly browned. On their lowest setting, the gas burners came in at an astonishingly low 95°F-100°F, some of the lowest temperatures we've recorded that still kept the pilot light lit.

If you need fine control for your burners and mostly even baking in the oven, look no further than the KitchenAid KSDB900ESS dual-fuel range.

Best Gas Range
GE JGB735SPSS

The GE JGB735SPSS impressed us during testing, thanks to its speedy preheat times and impressively even baking results. Plus, it boasts a functional air fry feature that performed better than expected.

In addition to the oven features, the GE JGB735SPSS also features a powerful cooktop with four burners and a center griddle burner that's great for cooking up pancakes and eggs.

It only fell short during our multi-rack baking tests, which did not yield even results. But given its affordable price tag, we still think this is a strong gas range choice for the price.

  • Fast pre-heat

Best Upgraded Induction
GE Profile PHS93XYPFS

With all the benefits of smart technology, quality cooking performance, and high end aesthetics, The GE Profile PHS93XYPFS is a no-brainer pick for induction cooking.

During testing, we were impressed by its lightning-fast boiling speeds and wide range of temperatures—from searing highs to simmering lows. The oven also proved efficient after turning out a batch of evenly baked cookies, on both standard and convection settings. And the added smart features are the icing on the cake. It features SmartHQ capabilities for remote controlling and a built-in camera in the oven to monitor food as it cooks.

The air fry setting unfortunately left us with uneven results, but with some fine tuning (and added accessories) you could find a way to make that function work for you, too.

Frigidaire Professional PCFE3078AF

The Frigidaire Professional PCFE3078AF Electric Range has the bells and whistles you expect to see in high-end appliances. It's one of the top-performing ranges we've tested and has many bonus features, such as the true-convection oven that can also air fry. The smooth, glass cooktop surface makes cleaning a breeze. Performance-wise, this range received perfect scores in our oven tests, from roasting pork chops to baking multiple trays of cookies.

This gorgeous slide-in range is great for baking enthusiasts and has a built-in oven probe to help you monitor the food. However, it took a while to preheat, and bring a pot of water to a boil. Those basics aside, serious bakers will likely find a lot to like with this appliance.

This model also offers Wi-Fi for remote preheat, two powerful burners, great low-heat simmering, and some of the best roasting we've ever tested.

In testing, the PHS930SLSS baked batches of evenly browned cookies and was able to preheat the oven noticeably faster than the other units we’ve tested.

There are no knobs on the cooktop; you can give commands either by sliding the Glide Control touchscreen or by monitoring the cooking process from your phone.

In addition, the two left burners can be linked for synchronized cooking at the swipe of your fingertips, making it possible to fit a large griddle.

Haier QGSS740RNSS

This Haier QGSS740RNSS gas range excelled in every test we threw at it, from boiling water to baking cookies. It’s a good choice for serious home cooks, star bakers, and tech nerds looking to add to their smart appliance repertoire. We love its quick preheat, short boil times, and elevated stainless steel look, plus the cast-iron grates on the cooktop that promotes even heat distribution.

With features like Steam Self-Clean, No Preheat Air Fry, Scan-to-Cook, Frozen Pizza, Frozen Snacks, Simmer Burner, this Wi-Fi-enabled Haier range has all the bells and whistles of a smart appliance. That said, many of its features are only accessible via the SmartHQ smartphone app.

The only other minor drawback we experienced with this range was the exposed rubber bumpers on the cooktop. They’re small, but a bit unsightly and could collect dirt and grime. Overall, we think this range would make a great addition to any kitchen.

Pros

  • Even baking

  • Fast preheat

  • Useful smart features

Cons

  • Can’t use many features without app

How We Test Ranges

At the Reviewed labs, we test ranges in-house, following specific scientific protocols to ensure consistency across products. We evaluate cooktop burners by performing water boiling tests and using a thermocouple thermometer to measure temperature ranges.

We evaluate the oven by measuring temperature fluctuations with the same thermometer. Then, we bake cookies and broil bread to assess the oven's ability to maintain consistent temperatures throughout. Finally, we use thermal imaging technology to judge the range's ability to hold heat without letting any escape.

For more specifics on the Reviewed testing procedures, check out our full article on how we test ranges.

What You Should Know Before Buying A Range

What Are The Different Types Of Ranges?

One of the main ways to differentiate ranges is by their fuel type: gas, electric, dual-fuel, and induction.

  • Gas — Lower cooktop temperatures, faster water boiling, potential for uneven cooking/baking because of central flame location

  • Electric — Higher cooktop temperatures, slower water boiling, more even cooking/baking because of heat distribution over coil

  • Dual-fuel — Faster water boiling, more even cooking/baking because of heat distribution over coil

  • Induction — Super faster water boiling, very high and low cooktop temperatures, requires specific cookware, may require recipe modification.

Depending on your cooking and baking priorities, as well as the way you learned to cook, one of these fuel types might be more appealing than the rest. One more thing to consider: dual-fuel and induction ranges are typically more expensive than gas and electric ranges.

What Is The Difference Between Convection And True Convection?

True Convection is an oven setting that includes installing an extra heating element and a fan in the oven. By adding an additional heating unit and fan that circulates the hot air, True Convection is great for ensuring that cookies or cakes baked on different racks will bake through at the same rate, rather than the cookies closest to the bottom heat source cooking faster than those on the rack higher up.

If you don't see mention of "True Convection" or "European Convection," but do see the word "convection" in a range's specs, it means that the unit lacks an additional heating element, but does have a fan to circulate the hot air. While you don't get the full baking and cooking effect that you would with True Convection, the added heat circulation can cook or bake food more evenly than it would without a fan.

There are also ranges out there that do not offer convection options at all; these ovens aren't bad, it will just take more time to cook and bake food all the way through. If you're a frequent baker or cook, convection can be a great time saver, but your dinners won't suffer unduly without it.

What Is The Difference Between Slide-in And Freestanding Ranges?

In a nutshell, slide-in ranges are meant to sit flush with your countertops, while freestanding ranges are meant to sit on top of any surface. While slotting in and sitting on top of your countertop may seem similar, the main differences between the two involve finish and ease of cleaning.

Because freestanding ranges are visible from all slides, they have a more finished look; slide-in ranges are meant to have their sides hidden by the cabinetry, so the finish typically isn't as pretty on the sides.

Additionally, because slide-in ranges sit flush with your countertop, they're a bit easier to clean because they do not have a large lip around the edge. Freestanding ranges often have larger lips around the edge of the cooktop to corral any crumbs that would otherwise decorate your floor. Freestanding ranges also typically have a back-mounted control panel for the same reason.

While slide-in ranges will do fine in a freestanding arrangement, the reverse is less true. If your current cooking setup has the range sitting in a cabinet or countertop cutout, we recommend replacing that range with another slide-in range. Conversely, if your range stands alone in your kitchen, we'd recommend replacing it with another freestanding range to cut down on food debris spilling everywhere.

Should I Get a Front-Mounted Control Panel or Back-Mounted Control Panel?

As we mentioned earlier, most freestanding ranges have back-mounted controls, but some slide-in ranges do as well. Both arrangements have pros and cons; on the one hand, having back-mounted controls means you may have to reach over hot food to adjust the oven temperature, the controls are also far enough away that you would have difficulty hitting something on the control panel by accident.

On the other hand, front-mounted controls are easier to reach, but that convenience can turn against you if you brush up against a knob accidentally. Consider the ergonomics of using the range when it comes to picking a front- or back-mounted control panel.

How Many Burners Do I Need?

Depending on how much time you spend in the kitchen, it might be worth it to invest in some extra options for your range. When it comes to the cooktop, anything above the standard four-burner setup is a bonus. Some ranges can have five or even six burners.

However, the more burners a range has, the more difficult it becomes to fit large pieces of cookware, such as a Dutch oven and a frying pan, on their respective burners at the same time.

Sometimes, those extra burners are specialty burners are designed to accommodate special cookware such as a griddle or a wok; other burners are bridge burners that are meant to keep food warm without continuing to cook it.

Another possibility is to have a dual-ring burner, or a burner that includes a stronger heat source wrapped around a weaker heat source. That way, on a single burner, you can choose to use just the smaller heat source for lower temperatures, but you can add the stronger heat source if you need higher temperatures.

What Oven Features Do I Need?

As for extra oven features, they can include everything from accessories like special oven racks or a temperature probe to special cooking features like the aforementioned convection settings, fast preheat, bread proofing (where the oven settings are customized to activate yeast and make bread rise), steam cooking (where you pour water into a reservoir and gently cook something with the resulting steam), air fry mode, and many, many more options.
