Note that we are currently reevaluating all of our guides to gas ranges and our advice on buying them, including learning all we can about induction (we have recommendations for a stove and cooktops). This is largely due to changing city and state regulations (video) on installing gas kitchen equipment and the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which introduced the first federal consumer rebates on electric kitchen appliances. However, if you need to buy a new gas stove, the picks below are all available and made by companies we trust, so we remain confident in recommending them.
Our pick
It has great cooking performance for a fair price in several good-looking finishes, all from a brand with a reputation for reliability.
The GE JGS760, as far as we can tell, has no obvious design flaws or quality-control problems, and the build feels sturdy. The cooktop comes with a typical set of burners for the price, capable of all but the most extreme high-temperature and low-temperature tasks. It also comes with a griddle and has its two strongest burners in the front row, which is less common than you’d think. The oven is big enough to comfortably fit a hefty 26-pound turkey or a spacious 15-by-20-inch baking stone and has a convection cooking mode for quicker, crispier, evenly done cooking. The JGS760 also has an air fry setting.
Upgrade pick
Details like glass touch panels, metal knobs, and heavier-duty hardware set this European-style range apart.
If you’d prefer a slide-in range with a more upscale look and an even sturdier construction, look for the Bosch 800 Series HGI8056UC. It costs thousands of dollars less than a pro-style or luxury range, but details like glass touch-panel oven controls and heavier-duty hardware put it in a tier above most slide-ins. While its cooking-related specs and features aren’t anything special for the price—the oven is relatively small, and the burners aren’t any stronger than you’d find on a cheaper model—you can still cook pretty much anything with this range, including Thanksgiving dinner. The 800 Series is also available in a dual-fuel version (responsive gas cooktop, consistent electric oven) called the HDI8056U.
Upgrade pick
A top performer, this powerful range has an impressive cooktop and oven specs for the price. It is also available in a dual-fuel version.
The GE Profile PGS930 has the most impressive cooking specs you’ll find in a slide-in range. The 21,000 Btu power burner is among the strongest gas burners we’ve seen on any residential stove at any price, so it will boil water faster than other slide-ins, and thanks to the burner’s three-ring design, it’s also good at holding low temperatures. The stove does have upscale details like a glass control panel, though its build isn’t quite as heavy-duty as that of the Bosch 800 Series. (You might still be able to find the dual-fuel version with an all-electric oven, the P2S930.)
Budget pick
A reasonably priced range with adequate specs, this is perfectly fine if you want the look of a slide-in range on the cheap.
If you want the look of a slide-in range but don’t have a lot of money to spend, the Frigidaire FCFG3083AS is your best bet. It’s pretty much the only gas slide-in that regularly costs less than $1,500. You’ll have to settle for slightly less-impressive (but still adequate) specs than you’d get in a typical slide-in range: The oven has no number input pad, and the power burner is a little weaker than usual. The build quality also feels a bit flimsier than most we looked at. But owners seem happy with this Frigidaire range and, again, it’s pretty affordable.
Also great
This double-oven range has one of the largest lower ovens we’ve seen in this quirky product category, and an unusually strong power burner.
If you’re looking for a double-oven slide-in range, the GE Profile PGS960YPFS has cooking features that are among the best in its class, including one of the strongest power burners we’ve seen on any non-pro-style stove. Its lower oven can fit bigger birds and roasts than other two-cavity models. If you enable its Wi-Fi feature, which syncs to an app, you can also add settings like no-preheat air fry. (You can disable the Wi-Fi connectivity after you’ve downloaded the update.)
