Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with advertisers on this site.
You might think most electric ranges do a decent job of heating and baking. But in Consumer Reports’ tests, some stoves struggle just to hold a steady simmer or brown a sheet of cookies. In fact, there’s a staggering 39-point difference between the Overall Scores of the best and worst electric ranges in our tests.
Below, we highlight the very best single- and double-oven electric ranges in our ratings. Each year CR’s expert testers bake hundreds of cakes and cookies, and take thousands of precise temperature measurements to see how well every range that passes through our lab heats, bakes, and broils.
“For electric ranges, we see some of the biggest differences in how well their ovens bake and broil,” says Tara Casaregola, CR’s test engineer in charge of ranges.
But we don’t stop at performance tests. We also survey members on whether their ranges have experienced a break or a problem to calculate the predicted reliability for different range brands.
