Kenmore
Elite 6.1 cu. ft. Double Oven Gas Range w/Convection Cooking in Black Stainless
Check Price
Bottom Line

If you are looking for a black range with lots of bells and whistles, this model has a lot to offer, plus ample space that's ideal for preparing numerous dishes at a time.

Pros

Extremely spacious and efficient, as it features a 6.1 cu. ft. build and dual ovens with convection heating. Black stainless steel finish has an ultra-modern look that is perfect for today's kitchens. It is also smudge-resistant.

Cons

Some components on the control panel are plastic, and could warp when exposed to heat from cooking. Priciest option on our shortlist.

Best Bang for the Buck
Kenmore

Check Price
Bottom Line

A good-looking electric range with a feature set that may surprise you considering the budget-friendly price. If you have your heart set on a black finish and a good deal, this is the one to choose.

Pros

Affordable, yet it comes with features cooks love including a ceramic cooktop, warm and hold function, and roomy oven. Oven is also self-cleaning.

Cons

Some owners gripe about it having only two oven racks.

Danby
2.4 cu. ft. 20" Wide Gas Range in Black
Check Price
Bottom Line

Although it has its limitations, this small black range is a good choice if you have a small kitchen.

Pros

A gas-powered black range with 20" width that is practical for kitchens with limited space. Easy to clean, due in part to the cooktop that can be lifted up for easy access to spilled food. Has a broiler drawer.

Cons

You can't easily monitor your baking progress, as there is no oven window. Limited space makes it impractical for cooking large meals.

Samsung
5.9 cu. ft. Black Stainless Electric Convection Range
Check Price
Bottom Line

Despite the possibility of some mechanical concerns, this feature-rich range is suitable for contemporary homes and avid cooks.

Pros

Has black stainless steel construction that's attractive and looks great in custom kitchens. Offers fast convection cooking and ceramic cooktop with 5 burners. Spacious inside and out.

Cons

Has self-cleaning capabilities; however the feature has been known to have some issues. Temperature control reliability can be sporadic.

LG Electronics
6.9 cu. ft. Double Oven Gas Range with ProBake Convection Oven
Check Price
Bottom Line

Double ovens work quickly, but the knobs can too easily be turned on by accident, so special care is needed.

Pros

The bottom oven cooks perfectly, and the griddle is large enough to make three perfectly golden-brown grilled cheese sandwiches.

Cons

The top oven tends to burn the bottom of foods, and the oven can't be pushed up against the wall because of the gas line valves.

    When it comes to kitchen design, black is a fail-proof color. It goes with everything and can give your kitchen a modern yet classic look. There’s a wealth of black oven ranges on the market, so your choice will depend on your budget, the size of your kitchen, and what your kitchen needs are. Ranges are gas or electric, each of which has pros and cons. An electric range can come with more modern amenities, like energy-efficiency settings and self-cleaning settings. The stovetop will provide a level surface for pots and pans, while the oven will heat food faster and more evenly.
