Looking for the absolute best range for your kitchen? Here’s our top 7 picks to consider
in 2019.
Hi this is John with Designer Appliances, New Jersey & New York’s premier interactive
appliance showroom. A visit to our store is well worth your time, where you can experience
first hand the latest in home appliances and save money with our exclusive offerings.
The range is the central feature of your cooking setup at home, allowing you to bake, broil,
sear, boil, and everything in-between—that is, assuming you have a quality range. The
difference between a great range and a poor one can be the difference between a reliable,
enjoyable cooking experience and one that's frustrating and unsuccessful. With that said,
2019 has seen the introduction of some striking new kitchen ranges, the evolution of established
series, and powerful innovations in range design and cooking ability. But how do you
know which slide-in range is best suited to your needs with hundreds of options to choose
from? To help you make an informed decision we’ve compiled a list of our top 7 picks
that rise above the competition when it comes to value, features and quality.
So lets get started. For the best all-around range, we recommend the Cafe C2S950P2MS1.
Topping our list is this dual fuel, slide-in model from Cafe, a high-end appliance manufacturer
with an eye for style. Slide-in ranges have the advantage of creating a seamless transition
from cabinet to stovetop, not to mention the positioning of controls along the front panel
that makes for easier reachability and removes the need for a back panel. This particular
model features a gorgeous stainless steel finish, expansive six-burner cooktop with
a built-in cast-iron griddle. You'll also love the WiFi connect capability that lets
you use your smart device to control your range from anywhere. The sleek LED panel is
also designed to visually disappear when not in use, creating a sleek look that you'll
love. And let's not forget the double-oven design that gives you enhanced flexibility
when cooking. Overall, it's a world-class entry from Cafe that earns it a spot atop
our listing of the best ranges of 2019.
For technology lovers, consider the Samsung NX58H9500WS.
Samsung has long been a feature on our best-of lists, and this slide-in dual fuel model is
no exception. The 5.8 cubic feet of oven capacity is a huge bonus that allows you to cook multiple
large dishes at once. Meanwhile, the flexible gas cooktop features 5 specialized burners
with a True Dual Power Burner with two independent heating elements, giving a total power range
of 700 BTU to 18,000 BTU to handle any task you can throw at it. True convection capabilities
in the oven, a reversible cast iron griddle, and even a custom wok grate and warming drawer
round out some of the most impressive features of this Samsung model. And, of course, it's
all connected so that you can control the range from your smart device.
Want slide-in luxury without the massive price? Consider the GE Profile PGS930SELSS.
GE's Profile series features a range of high-end products, and this dual fuel slide-in range
is no exception. The large, beautiful stainless steel knobs along the front panel are paired
with a large LED display, and this range features an impressively powerful 21,000 BTU tri-ring
burner for intense heat that's perfect for searing and frying. Meanwhile, the extra-large
integrated reversible cast iron grill and griddle setup gives you flexibility and reliability
in your cooking surface. The Chef Connect functionality gives you three cooking options
with a single touch, offering the ability to sync the range elements with your microwave's
surface light and vent. And with true convection capabilities, you have everything you need
to handle a range of cooking tasks.
Our pick for mid-level gas slide-in ranges is the Bosch HGI8054UC.
Bosch has been creating high-end ranges for years, and this model is no exception. This
full-depth gas slide-in range features an 18,000 BTU center burner, a 4.8 cubic foot
oven capacity, and heavy-duty metal knobs for a premium look and feel. The included
warming drawer keeps food warm and ready to serve, and it's all packaged in a gorgeous
stainless steel package. You can also count on the Bosch reputation for reliability and
customer support throughout the life of
your range.
For a striking dual fuel option, try the Miele HR1934DF.
A major competitor to Bosch, Miele has been on the scene for years as well. Their HR1934DF
dual fuel range combines natural gas cooktop capability with an electric oven. This slide-in
model removes the back panel for a clean, integrated look, and is available in 30",
36", and 48" widths depending on your space and needs. With six cooking zones, a whopping
5 of them capable of 19,000 BTU of output, you'll be able to manage any cooktop needs
you can imagine. A high-capacity oven space and stylish design make this a highly desirable
option from Miele.
Our first truly high-end pick is the Wolf DF304.
Wolf is often known for its distinctive red knobs and one-of-a-kind style, but they're
a lot more than just flash. This 4-burner option might seem compact, but there's nothing
small about its cooking abilities. You'll enjoy four dual-stacked burners with a range
of BTU output capabilities—20K, 18K, 15K, and 9.2K for the full range of cooking ability.
And with 10 preprogrammed cooking modes available in the oven, cooking dinner has never been
easier or more convenient. You'll also love the powerful self-clean ability and included
temperature probe to monitor your meals for the perfect done-ness.
Have an open budget? We recommend the Thermador PRD366WHU.
Rounding out our list is the Thermador Pro Harmony dual fuel range, complete with six
burners designed in Thermador's signature star shape—designed to maximize burner-to-pan
contact and even cooking. You'll also love the inclusion of two ExtraLow burners with
a simmer temperature as low as 100F for holding food or delicately melting ingredients like
chocolate or butter. This Thermador model also boasts the fastest self-clean function
in the industry, completing its powerful self-clean cycle in just 2.5 hours. The oven boasts third
element convection for cooking on multiple levels, so you'll be covered for any cooking
task you throw at this powerhouse.
