This model from GE effortlessly slid into the top place on our list because it has nearly everything you could ever want in an electric range and more. It is a true convection oven that provides precise air distribution to evenly bake all your dishes every single time. It’s also a double oven, so you can make several foods, or prepare a main dish with all the trimmings, at the same time.
In addition, it’s a no-preheat air fryer for healthier cooking in minimal time. It has WiFi connectivity so that you can operate your oven remotely, including preheating it, and monitoring its progress via the SmartHQ app. One of its most impressive features is its SyncBurners, which allows two of the elements to be on at the same time. This lets you prepare a large tray of food over two burners for a larger cooking surface.
It has a sleek appearance and a fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish that effortlessly wipes clean. Finally, it has a steam clean self-cleaning function to get the oven sparking and keep it in tip-top shape for longer.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly electric range that feels high-quality and comes with lots of kit, this GE freestanding range is a great choice. We’re really impressed by the balance between price and functionality. This range is one of the most affordable options on our list, but still comes packed with kit and cooking options including convection, air-frying, and self-cleaning.
The oven has a relatively average 5.3 cubic feet of space, which will still be enough to cook for the whole family. It also comes with a rear fan to allow for convection or no pre-heat air-frying. We like the delay bake and delay clean settings, which allow you to program the oven for a later time.
The smooth and easy-to-clean cooktop technically has five elements, but one is a warming zone with just 80 watts of power. This is low, but it’s good for melting butter or chocolate. The other four elements are between 1,200 and 3,100 watts, two of which are dual-ring to accommodate different size pans. One of the dual rings comes with a power boil element to rapidly heat water.
The useful storage drawer below the oven is great for storing pots and pans, keeping them accessible yet tidied away.
Although stainless steel fits in with most kitchens, it is the only finish available, so bear this in mind if you’re looking for a different look.

Instructions and cooking settings get sent to the oven automatically so you can just deal with the prepping. Once all the food is in the oven, you can monitor your food’s progress from the comfort of your couch via your phone with the range’s in-oven camera.
There are five elements and the SyncBurner capacity allows you to use two burners at once for large pan-cooked dishes. The precision cooktop sensor can maintain the temperature you set within one degree, akin to using a gas range.
Finally, you can customize the look of your Café range by choosing the color of the handles—you can pick from brushed bronze, stainless steel, copper, and black for a personalized aesthetic.

The LG Electronics LDE4413ST double-oven electric range’s whopping capacity of 7.3 cubic feet means that you’ll likely be hosting Thanksgiving this year. Great for big families or for those who like to entertain, this model has plenty of room for a whole turkey and all the sides, and it can help you cook quicker and more efficiently.
Featuring convection technology that creates even heat distribution no matter where in the oven you place the tray, this range will help you make the perfect cookies and other baked goods. It has a funky blue interior, and the oven door windows are extra large so you can easily glance in and see how your cooking is coming along.
The ovens work independently of each other, so you can have a dessert in one and dinner in the other. There’s an in-oven broiler to keep food warm, and the appliance’s self cleaning technology only takes 10 minutes to get the oven looking like new again, even if a pan has bubbled over and made a total mess. The knobs are large and easy to use, and there’s a child lock function, too, for extra safety.

If you’ve slowly been transitioning your home into a smart one, adding a smart electric range like this Whirlpool WEE750H0HZ only makes sense.
There’s so much you can command this range to do from your phone, tablet, or even by voice command via Alexa or Google Assistant. For instance, by simply scanning a barcode on a frozen packet of food with your phone, the ideal cooking settings will be sent directly to the range for you without you having to lift a finger.
In addition, the compatible Yummly app has a bunch of helpful features like recipes, ideas, and cooking tutorials. You can operate the oven remotely using your phone and also disable the control panel to make sure no one messes with your settings when you’re away from the range. The oven also comes with Frozen Bake technology that allows you to bypass preheating for frozen meals.
It’s a true convection oven with a large capacity of 6.4 cubic feet, which is more than enough for a large family or for those who like to entertain. The oven is self-cleaning, and there’s an in-oven broiler, too. It comes in four finishes, including two that are fingerprint resistant to look cleaner for longer, and there’s a lower drawer to store extra oven trays.

Whatever your kitchen setup, it’s likely this Hisense model will fit right in. Practically designed, this range works well whether you’re slotting it between kitchen cabinets or leaving it as a standalone model. It comes with two useful self-cleaning modes: traditional for regular day-to-day maintenance, plus a steam option for deep cleaning your oven to a proper sparkle.
The oven, which measures 5.8 cubic feet, offers true convection (giving you a third heating element in addition to the fan to help with even and speedy cooking), air-frying, and helpful preset modes to take the guesswork out of cooking for bread proofing, frozen food, pizza, and dehydrating.
The control panel is mounted on the back of the range and is easy to use, even with all the range’s functionality. The five burners on the smooth ceramic cooktop heat up quickly and range from 100w to 3300w, enough to sear the perfect steak.
The Hisense range comes in at a great price, but there are a few drawbacks to consider. On the lowest setting, the burns are still too high to effectively manage delicate cooking tasks, like melting chocolate or maintaining a gentle simmer. Some also mention that the rear controls on the range get very warm while the back burners are in use.

To make the juiciest roast for the next family get-together or that perfect batch of cookies for movie night, the best convection oven can really help you up your game. This Samsung electric range is a true convection oven with a lot of power that can cook quickly and evenly for perfect dishes every single time. This oven's convection technology uses a third heating element, which is situated behind the fan and blows heated air onto the food being prepared for even heat distribution.
With this warm air being brought in from the element via the fan, the oven temperature remains more uniform when compared to traditional or regular convection ovens. In addition to all the convection goodness, you’ll also be getting a five-element cooktop with a griddle burner for steak, burgers, or grilled cheeses; an airfryer with a tray; and a large 6.3 cubic foot capacity for cooking dinner and all the sides, all at once.
What’s more, the oven is WiFi enabled, and you can operate and monitor it remotely via your smart device and the Samsung SmartThings app. It also has a self-cleaning steam clean function to keep it effortlessly clean and extend its life. It’s available in three finishes, although the plain stainless steel model is not fingerprint resistant.

For the best electric range with induction cooking, we recommend this model from LG. Induction cooking provides quick heat with a good amount of control. People often compare it to cooking with a gas range—and an induction range is a lot cheaper than having to put in gas lines if your house isn’t equipped with them. The burners generate energy from an electromagnetic field underneath the cooktop surface and transfer current into the magnetic pans you need to use with an induction range.
The fact you need to use specific induction cookware is one small downside to this great range, along with the higher price point. But you are getting a high-quality product that should last a long time.
With 6.3 cubic feet of space in the oven, there’s not much you won’t be able to fit in there. It comes with two racks, which you can move around, but it’s a little tricky to get the technique right. It features a convection oven, air-fry capabilities, and even “air sous-vide,” which can give you similar results to a sous vide machine.
You can also control various functions through an app, including sending cooking instructions to your oven by scanning the barcode on ready meals or using SideChef recipes.
The five burners range from 100w to an impressive 4300w and heat very quickly. You also have a great amount of control: You’ll have no problem gently simmering sauces for extended periods of time.

Everyone is airfrying nowadays, and for good reason. This newer cooking technology provides deliciously healthy and crispy “fried” food without any oily residue or unnecessary calories. Countertop air fryers are great, but have you tried having an electric range with a built-in air fryer that you don’t need to scrub clean or have it take up valuable countertop space?
Before other brands jumped on the bandwagon, the Frigidaire Gallery models were the first line of ranges, both electric and gas, to offer air frying technology within its ranges. In addition to this handy feature, this range also has five elements, including one triple expandable element which offers 6-inch, 9-inch, and 12-inch sized elements all within one element.
There’s a 3,100-watt element that provides a quick boil, and a quick preheat, too. No elbow grease is needed when it comes to cleaning this range as it has a 30-minute steam cleaning option that gets the oven spick and span without the use of chemicals. There’s even a large bottom drawer for all your pans, trays, and other cookware.

You won’t be able to cook copious amounts of food at once in its 2.6 cubic foot capacity oven, and it’s not self-cleaning.
As opposed to the plethora of 30-inch electric ranges available, there aren’t too many 20-inch options on the market to choose from, and many of the ones that are available—to put it bluntly—aren’t very good. However, we found a worthy contender in this Amana 20-inch freestanding model, which not only has five oven rack positions and two oven racks but also comes with an in-oven broiler.
There are four coil burner elements on this range’s cooktop, each with different sizes and heats for various cooking types, and the cooktop is a smooth porcelain steel for easily wiping up spills. Under each burner is a removable chrome drip bowl, which makes clean-up even easier if your pots happen to bubble over.
The oven door window is not massive, but the automatic light makes it easy to see what’s cooking as it’s cooking. This electric range has a cute-yet-traditional style to it that looks fabulously clean in a wooden or white kitchen, and it’s priced affordably, too. It also comes with a one-year limited warranty from the manufacturer.
