What’s the Best Gas Stove Model to Buy in 2025?

What you want is Bluestar with open burners.

If you don't like brass burners, you'll have to go with aluminum burners. Brass is pretty much better in every way except it will patina. Aluminum, when used a lot will warp eventually (although it will take a long time). There are brands where for this reason, provide black porcelain burner caps.

I think at this point you just need to fork out the money to have your cleaner polish your brass…

You’re crazy…brass is there for a reason and to withstand the heat

check out the Empava Slide-in. good price and well built

What's an "average" budget to you, in dollar amount?

What you need to do is be more specific as to what your requirements are, as in how many BTU's, burner type, what features are must have, etc.

Go to an appliance store and see what you can get at the various price points, that way you can compare each hands on and see the quality for yourself.

In 2024 Quality costs money, be prepared to spend more then you think if you want quality.

I've also seen a GE gas stove that looks just like that but all the ignitors run off of a 9-volt battery.

We had a Whirlpool 5 burner gas stove for 10+ years with few major issues...the one big problem we had was the oven started being finnicky about year 7 and would take 10-20 minutes to light. Having a burner on the stove on seemed to help, it still worked so we put up with it until it started to get worse. Just replaced it with basically the same stove except in a 4 burner version (has very similar cast iron grates), cost us $660 on sale with a 5% discount on our Lowe's card.

Depends on your budget. I would say wolf if it comes in your budget.

I've been researching gas ranges lately and kept running into Janska. Seems like they focus on the fundamentals like sealed Italian burners, solid construction and none of the fancy tech that fails. I also like their auto-reignition feature.

Check out blue star. They're made in Reading, PA and have the highest btu ratings in the consumer sector. They're also super customizable. We ended up doing the 36" platinum range top because I wanted a wall oven that was fitted to my height and side opening. It came with extra interchangeable parts like griddle, French top and charbroiler but we never used them because I didn't want to give up 2 burners. If you cook a lot then I'd recommend going with 48" or larger.

It was between wolf and blue star when we did our research. The decision was made when we tried it out in person. Some places will let you bring your own food and utensils to trial different range tops.

If I were building a dream home, I’d put in induction. Best way to cook period.

I have a Wolf dual-fuel and here's my $0.02: their gas ranges suck (for the price) if you actually like to cook. Their electric ovens are awesome.

My ideal setup would be a gas blue star range top + wolf electric double oven.

Don't know about stove brands but came here to say any concerns about gas stoves can be fixed with ventilation. Open a window when you cook. You'll be fine.

If you go with a super powerful gas range (or cooktop and oven), look into makeup air systems in addition to a regular hood vent. They’re usually recommended, if not required by code, for more powerful systems. Plus, it helps keep the smells, grease, and smoke out.

Also look into vent-a-hood. I can't remember whether we got the 900 or 1200 cfm model but it gets the job done.

ETA: Congrats on the new build. How exciting! 😃

That’s definitely something that should be taken into account when buying a stove. Electric or any kind probably isn’t the best choice for a more remote area with chances of power outages.

Bought an $1800 samsung 30" induction range/convection from lowes last year and we love it. I am saying this as someone who had spent the last 20 years cooking on commercial grade gas ranges in restaurants and my wife is a professional pastry chef.

I’m a big fan of GE the cafe is excellent. Their burner output is up there and their tri ring provides a good simmer.

NOT SAMSUNG

<makes popcorn to watch "never buy xyz brand, I bought one and blah blah blah>

The Falk stainless is fantastic, but it's not dishwasher safe. The Atlantis is very good, that's what I cook with everyday. But, it's specifically made for induction. Some of the older all-clad D7 is just as good on a gas range. I was not a fan of the Hestan titanium nano bond. I bought a couple pieces and sold them on Facebook because they just didn't live up to expectations---specifically, everything seemed to stick and scorch on the pans no matter what I did.

Demeter Atlantis. Have had pieces for over 20 years. Amazing cookware.

Agreed. I have a mix of Demeyere Atlantis/Proline and Falk Copper Coeur. Some of the best you can get! As well as a Smithey cast iron which I absolutely love.

I'm gonna add a note here that I think many will agree with who cook a lot. All Clad is a great brand, they're basically the gold standard and gateway to many of the other brands mentioned here.
BUT, there comes a point of diminishing returns, and All Clad is it. There's a strong argument to be made that some of the others like the Atlantis line, etc, bring a bit more performance to the table, but All Clad is the point where only skill and technique becomes the differentiator. In other words, you'd produce better cooking by putting that investment into yourself rather than the vessels you purchase. If you don't work on technique, etc., you're just wasting your money. More expensive cookware does not a better chef/cook make. Either via your own at home or going to actual cooking classes or working in a restaurant, but that's the differentiator, not the tools. Beware of that rabbit hole, friend.

everyone says this because it's the thickest, but it's doesnt mean anything for everyday cooking. at that point might as well just use cast iron.

debuyer has good stuff buy whatever you want from them except for cast iron and enamel. get a le crueset Dutch oven or two, skip their frying pans. For cast iron find a 10 inch vintage Wagner skillet on eBay (smoother hand finish from back in the day! better than lodge) and order a few dartos from. Argentina

Yes, but if you are into cooking, or not, induction is amazeballs. Just went from gas to induction two months ago, and I am blown away. I just use a Made In pan. Lighter and cheaper than Demeyere, some trade off in performance to be sure, but I like it.

I'll second Falk copper. Falk provides a nice discount on custom sets and their products are great. I have numerous Classic pots, pans, and lids and am always happy to pulls them out of the drawer, cook with with them, and clean them. They are very easy to cook with and their cleanup is a breeze.

Fwiw, I use my Falk in concert with my Matfer and Lodge pans and Dutch ovens. They all have their place in the kitchen.

I’d look at the Demeyere Industry line. Others have mentioned Proline/Atlantis, but I think this is a poor match for gas. The fully clad pieces are mostly overkill in their thickness since gas already heats so evenly, so you are only left with pieces heavier than necessary. The pieces that are not fully clad will suffer "ring of death" issues on gas because heat runs up the side but there is no aluminum to spread it around.

Industry is thinner and all pieces are fully clad. Cheaper too.

Elba is the best.

They have an excellent product, and their after sales service is top-notch.

Full gas is really nice. Just keep in mind that if you like to bake rusks, the lowest temp on the oven is about 150 degrees, and at that temp, it is tricky to dry the rusks.

Smeg or Elba if your looking for premium stoves. Total or Defy if you are looking for budget options that are good quality.

After sales support should be good on all of the above.

Very specific market for full gas. Not sure why you would want it unless there is a specific reason to not want to do gas/electric.

I always suggest gas stove top and Electric oven. Electric ovens are more consistent and better for baking.

A lot of people suggest gas stove for load shedding but your gas stove will stop working if the electricity goes out, because the fans need power to regulate temperature.

Important to decide which retailer you are making the purchase from as they will determine the level of after sales service you get.

I’d avoid tempered glass stove tops. We had a Whirlpool shatter spontaneously within 10 months, both Whirlpool and Hirsch’s refused to cover it. They claimed negligence and that we dropped something on the glass (we did not)

If you want an electric option I’d get induction over the old school electric hot plate. Check if your cookware is compatible first, it needs to be magnetic to work on induction.

Stay away from Smeg. They are a pain to clean and not that reliable. Maybe our design is poor but find one that is easy to clean.

We're on our second Eurogas. The first one lasted a good 20 years of hard use and could've lasted longer if not for a mouse problem.

Make sure you have sufficient external ventilation.

I just spent a lot of money to get rid of my gas stove and switch to induction. I would research.

Seconding the rec to look into induction. I forgot how much I enjoyed cooking until I made the switch.

Not Samsung

Has anyone used 36 inch gas range by Bosch? Local has some good deal and wonder how is it.

Look into Five Star ranges too. Made in Tennessee for decades, not heavily advertised, no bells & whistles or sleek styling. Simple, powerful, & good -- just what you want.

What's your budget? You almost can't go wrong with wolf/subzero, Miele, or bluestar if you can afford it. When you buy a gas range, it's the oven that will differentiate your options. The Miele is fantastic. Does it make the range worth double a comparable Bosch? Probably not.
