Best and Worst Range Brands of 2025

To determine which brands make the best ranges, CR created a statistical model that incorporates the Overall Scores for every gas, electric smoothtop, electric coil, and induction range in our ratings. Our calculations reflect lab performance, available features, predicted reliability, and owner satisfaction scores. We also looked at prices: Brands get credit for delivering high performance and reliability more affordably than their competitors.

Below, CR members can see the best brands in two categories: gas ranges; and the combination of induction, smoothtop, and electric coil ranges. For each of those categories, we included only brands with at least three ranges in our current ratings. We don’t include pro-style ranges because we don’t test enough models to reach the lower limit in our best brands analysis.
