Bottom Line

Best of the Best
Samsung
30 in. 5.8 cu. ft. Gas Range with Self-Cleaning Oven and 5 Burner Cooktop with Griddle
Check Price
Bottom Line

This is the oven you want if you're looking to cook a large meal quickly and have it all ready at the same time.

Pros

Water boils faster, and the oven heats up within 5 minutes, but the best feature is the convenient nonstick griddle burner.

Cons

There are no drip trays for the burners and no indicator light for a burner being on.

Best Bang for the Buck
GE
5.3 cu. ft. Electric Range with Self-Cleaning Oven
Check Price
Bottom Line

While you may miss a few conveniences with this value price, you'll still get a roomy, easy-to-clean oven.

Pros

You can fit two baking sheets side by side in the oven, and it bakes consistently.

Cons

The timer doesn't show how much time is left, and the power cord is in the drawer, limiting space options.

Whirlpool
6.7 cu. ft. Double Oven Electric Range with True Convection
Check Price
Bottom Line

The double ovens work great and clean up easily, but it needs to have a perfectly-placed outlet to slide into.

Pros

The burners heat up quickly and cook evenly, and the oven cleans up well with both the self-clean and steam clean options.

Cons

The surface must be cleaned every day, whether or not it's been used, to maintain the sleek black look.

GE
5.3 cu. ft. Electric Range with Self-Cleaning Convection Oven
Check Price
Bottom Line

GE brand brings good quality, but the cooktop can be scratched easily, even with the right cookware.

Pros

It has double elements and heats up quickly, with the bottom element covered for easier cleaning, and the cooktop is resistant to spills.

Cons

The surface indicator for the cooktop is not reliable, and it's difficult to keep the porcelain cooktop clean.

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.
