Gas ranges come in varying sizes and prices, along with an array of details. We at Consumer Guide have reviewed plenty of gas ranges and selected several models as the smartest buys around.

Upgrading the kitchen in a home is often a key factor to the value or sale of a home. Hence, the kitchen remains an important room in the home in which to invest. One of the easiest and least expensive ways to add value to your kitchen is to replace your range and other appliances. If you will be replacing your slide-in gas range, you will want to make the wisest choice possible. We recommend you purchase the best-quality range you can possibly afford. Spending a bit more on a range can pay off when and if you need to sell your home.

General Electric PGS975

Special touches make the General Electric PGS975 slide-in gas range stand out from the crowd. The PGS975 differentiates itself from the black-topped ranges by offering a commercially influenced stainless-steel top. The 18,000-Btu gas burner is in a class of its own for blasting out heat. Not one, but two halogen lights make it easy to see what is happening in this oven, which uses convection for both baking and broiling. A first-rate product, the PGS975 includes a temperature probe for cooking meat, a bread proofing mode and a variable self-cleaning cycle.


Whirlpool GW395LEP

Full-width, cast-iron grates mean you can easily slide heavy stock pots from burner to burner on Whirlpool's GW395LEP. With this design, you will never again dislodge a small, lightweight grate while cooking. Combine this hassle-free convenience with the precise AccuBake oven, which never varies more than just a few degrees, and you have a solid performer on your hands. Strikingly good looking and well engineered, this low-profile model fits seamlessly between cabinets and makes a particularly good choice for the integrated look of a peninsula or island. We highly approve of its excellent value, and it is offered in today's popular appliance colors.

A perennial best seller, the General Electric JGS968SHSS slide-in gas range has been in their lineup for quite some time and for good reason. This model never disappoints with its convection oven, versatile sealed gas burners, solid continuous grate design and halogen lighting. A beautiful model in sleek stainless steel, the price may be a bit stiff but the payoff could very well be worth it.

Amana AGS5730BD

Amana's AGS5730BD is one of the lowest priced, slide-in gas ranges around, yet it maintains the quality and reliability of ranges priced significantly higher. Although not exactly bursting with the latest features, it does offer everything you really need in a modern gas range. It is equipped with a self-cleaning oven and four reliable gas burners. The output of the burners is pretty standard for this type of range. The oven has a step-up self-cleaning cycle that lets you choose among variable cleaning times. Our favorite component on this model is the design of the burner grates. They are heavy enough to remain stable and provide a nice, flat surface for moving pans from burner to burner. If you are limited by a tight budget, this model should be on your short list of models to consider.
