Freestanding ranges are designed to fit anywhere in a kitchen. Oven controls are often located on a back panel that raises up above the cooktop. These are less expensive than slide-in models. The Samsung NE58KWG is a slide-in range, so it doesn't have a back panel and sits flush with surrounding countertops.
These ranges don't have a back panel and are meant to fit in flush with the surrounding countertops. Slide-in ranges are often more expensive than freestanding models because of the mechanics that go into putting all the controls up front.
Drop-in ranges are similar to slide-in models -- they sit flush with the surrounding countertops and all the controls are located at the front of the unit. But this type of range looks like you dropped it between two cabinets because of a strip of cabinetry you place beneath the appliance.
The search for an oven or range can resemble a visit to a car dealership -- there are always opportunities to upgrade. Assess your needs and decide if these bonus features are worth throwing down more money for an appliance. Companies have become more proactive in including wireless capabilities such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and near-field communication NFC in their ovens and stoves so you can control your appliance from your smartphone. For example, you could begin to preheat your Wi-Fi-enabled oven on your way home from the grocery store, so it's ready for your frozen pizza by the time you get home.
You can give voice commands to this Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker to control the range. Manufacturers have also started to connect appliances with smart-home products to add some automation and voice control in the kitchen. For example, GE's Wi-Fi-connected ranges work with Alex and Google Assistant, so you can give voice commands to control your appliance. Convection fans are built into the back of oven walls. They circulate the heat in the oven so hot air is more evenly dispersed, which means your food will bake more evenly.
You'd want convection fans if you're baking food like cookies on more than one oven rack at the same time. Midprice ovens will have at least one convection fan.
Some ovens have what's called "true" or "European" convection, which means there's a heating element that surrounds the fan that warms the air as the fan blows. Read more about the science of convection here. Your basic oven can bake and broil. But as the price for ovens increases, you'll see that there are more cooking options.
Some companies give you an option to design the color of the control knobs, door panels etc. Then I came to my senses. Why was I buying a new range? What did I want it to do? Do I really need to adjust my oven temp with my smartphone? Will a custom design color help me create great meals? Price: What is your Budget?
Going into your search without a budget may make it easy to waste time looking at beautiful appliances that are out of your price range. To me, Kitchen appliances are an investment, because I cook so often, and spend most of my free time in the kitchen. So my budget may be different than yours, it all depends on you.

Size: Once you have your budget ironed out, consider the oven size. If you are planning on remodeling your kitchen, you may have more flexibility with your choice of size, but otherwise this should be the first thing to consider. Ovens are usually 36 inches tall, counter height. Some have adjustable legs if you need a higher cooking surface or two side-by-side ovens.
If you need more burners or a third oven, instead consider a stackable oven that can be built into the cabinets or a range top that can be built into your counter tops, in addition to your new range. Many cooks prefer gas ranges because the burner flame works as a visual temperature gauge and can heat things up quickly.
Most bakers prefer electric ovens because of the consistent and even heat they generate. Types of Ranges and Costs There are three standard freestanding range types: electric, gas, and dual-fuel a gas stovetop with an electric-powered oven. Both are somewhat rare and may require special ordering through an appliance dealer: Slide-in ranges. The range fits between two cabinets and the edges of the cooktop rest on top of the counters, eliminating gaps.
Drop-in ranges. The panel eliminates the bottom storage drawer typical of most ranges. Electric Ranges Electric ranges feature three options for cooktop heating elements. Heating elements must be removed for thorough cleaning. Coil cooktops tend to distribute heat unevenly. Drawbacks: Glass ceramic surfaces are a cinch to clean but prone to scratching. Also, glass and stoneware are poor heat conductors, which increases cooking time.
The intense heat that cast iron creates can actually shut down the range. Stainless steel and copper are best. Induction ranges include: Control lockouts that prevent the range from being accidentally turned on Touch screens instead of knobs and dials Hidden baking elements for easier cleaning Warming drawers Drawbacks: Not all your pots and pans will be compatible with the induction stovetop.
Gas Ranges Besides the visual control of the flame and quick, uniform heating, benefits include: Compatibility with all cooktop and oven cookware Surface burners and ovens that still work when the power goes out but not a fan-driven convection feature Lower operating costs than electric ranges -- depending on your local utility rates Heat output for gas range burners is described in Btu British thermal units.
