First, the honest part: most ranges are worth repairing, and a repair is almost always cheaper than a replacement — start with our repair-or-replace guide. But if yours is genuinely past its life, here’s how to choose a new one without overpaying for features you won’t use.

Gas, electric, induction, or dual-fuel?

• Gas — instant, responsive heat cooks love; needs a gas line.
• Electric (radiant) — affordable, even baking, easy-clean glass top; needs a 240V outlet.
• Induction — the fastest and most efficient, with a cool-to-touch surface; needs induction-ready cookware.
• Dual-fuel — a gas cooktop with an electric oven; the best of both, at a premium.

Buy the fuel type that matches your hookup (gas line vs 240V outlet) unless you’re prepared to add one.

Freestanding vs slide-in

Freestanding has finished sides and controls on a back panel — most affordable and flexible. Slide-in sits flush with your counters for a built-in look (front controls), but expects cabinetry on both sides. Standard width is 30”.

Range features worth it — and gimmicks

A convection oven (even baking), a solid warranty, and self-clean are worth having. Air-fry modes, Wi-Fi, and giant touchscreens are mostly extras — and the more electronics a range has, the more there is to repair later. Buy the cooking performance, not the screen.
