Looking to purchase a new electric range, nothing fancy but a good brand. Currently have a Samsung convection oven, but based on the repair man’s reaction they aren’t the greatest. We have had it for 9 years. About a year ago the display started glitching, we decided not to fix it. A week before Christmas I noticed smoke coming out of back, mice got in and destroyed the insulation. Repairman said it’s cheaper to buy new than repair. We think we got the mice dealt with, so now we’re on the lookout for a new range. Any advice?

My 30 year old Maytag stove is on its last legs- I need to get a new one. Anyone have any recommendations?

I was waiting for memorial day sales and went to look at Home Depot today and can not find a slide in range the same quality as what I have now. I'm not crazy about my black slide in, but everything I looked at does not have edge to edge glass except the dreaded Samsung bespoke. Would I be a fool to buy Samsung? I just purchased a new LG instaview fridge 6 months ago with the mirrored glass door and now my range and microwave both died. Both the same age and the Frigidaire. I've attached a photo of my current range and although I do not like black, I do love how the glass top has the lip and also how big and heavy my bottom drawer is. I looked at GE, LG, Samsung, Fridgidaire, and all of them have thin tin can quality for bottom drawers.

Do I fix what I have or are there any suggestions for stainless that is 2k or under on sale that have the quality of my current range?

One last issue, I have a piece of granite that backs my range now and all of the ranges on the market I see have some vent on the back. Is this vent necessary and do I need to now have that back piece of granite cut out so the range lays against the wall?

I've attached a photo of my current range.

Deciding between these 2 tomorrow. Roughly same price and specs. Any experience with actual cooking performance appreciated.Biggest complaint with LG is knobs too easy to turn

I cook and bake everything from scratch and have been without a working oven for 3 weeks now. After our 15-20 year old oven broke we decided on a Frigidaire oven/stove range. It arrived two days ago and won't heat properly so we're currently in the return process.

I'm looking for a great and reliable electric stove and oven range or best brand you'd recommend. I'd prefer to spend less than $1,000 as we're tight on money. Willing to spend a little more if it's worth it. Not necessarily looking for an air fryer combo (not against it either) - just really want one that is reliable for cooking and baking with a good stove top.

Thanks in advance!

Would not recommend the one we just got:

Frigidaire 30 in. 5 Element Freestanding Electric Range in Stainless Steel with Self-Cleaning Oven

Edit: I put slide in in the title but I'm not sure what it's called lol. Not a wall oven - one that slides in.

I need to replace a Frigidaire FCS388WHCC slide-in range. The range top overlaps the counter and fits into a 29-inch wide and 23-inch deep cut-out in the counter. The range is not a drop-in as it stands on the floor and overlaps the 35 3/4-inch tall counter.

I've been search for slide-in ranges, but they are all 30-inch free-standing, not true slide-range ranges.

Does anyone know what companies still make slide-in ranges?

Getting a new Range; going from electric to gas! Super pumped. Will get a double oven because I like having two temps available - but am really on the fence with the the free standing (I.e controls at the back for the oven) or the slide in whereas there’s no backsplash as all the controls are up front. I have an old Formica countertop that we will eventually update - it’s needed - and I like the look of the slide in - but how do I justify the extra throws and dollars? What looks better and more professional - and know there will still be a microwave above it. Please some thoughts...and feel free to ask away!

Priority is longevity and aesthetic. New house has an extremely ugly old range. Mainly do stir fry, soup etc. The oven will be RARELY used, occaisonally baking casserole, or pizza, we have an air fryer that we LOVE. If it has a wok ring, perfect, if not, not a deal breaker.

Dont' want to break the bank, the GE Cafe looks great, but now i'm reading GE is crap? LG looks great, but also read that LG is also crap. Any recommendation ?
