8 KitchenAid Stoves Compared
KitchenAid stoves come in all shapes and sizes. Some are more expensive than others, but each has unique features. Our best-rated stoves are gas stoves, electric stoves, induction stoves, and double oven ranges.
KitchenAid® 30" Stainless Steel Commercial Style Gas Range
Starting off strong, this range is top-notch, and thus one of the higher-priced options we will feature. True to their stylish reputation, this range comes in nine color options, from 'Misty Blue' to "Yellow Pepper.' If that wasn't enough to whet your appetite, this commercial-style gas range has four burners and Even-Heat™ True Convection that regulates temperature for the perfect cooking conditions. This KitchenAid stove is an intelligent appliance, too, with the option to connect your Google Assistant or Alexa-enabled device to adjust settings whether you are near or far.
★ KitchenAid Stove #KFGC500JSS Review:
One customer review sums up KitchenAid's mission to bring professional-level cooking to the home: "We have a little cookie business that we do out of our home and do quite well. Our cakes and cookies were to die for, but we always had trouble with underbaking when we [bake] with more than one baking sheet. Now, with our new commercial style oven and convection baking, our volume has tripled, and the quality of baking is top notch."
KitchenAid® 30" Stainless Steel Freestanding Gas Range
This KitchenAid stove can be considered a cheaper alternative to the commercial-style gas range. While not explicitly labeled a commercial oven, this 5.8 cu ft. double gas oven provides space for a substantial quantity of food cooked to perfection due to the Even-Heat™ True Convection feature. This stove also has additional storage space, ideal for those pots and pans spilling from your kitchen cupboards. While less flashy in name, the colorways offered for this oven remain classic, coming in white, stainless steel, and black.
★ KitchenAid Stove #KFGG500ESS Review:
One customer highlights the performance of this oven over electric stoves: "This is our first gas stove; we love how quickly it prepares food versus an electric stove. We like the simplicity of the convection oven to select what we need to cook."
KitchenAid® 30" Stainless Steel Freestanding Electric Convection Range
Another classically designed oven, this range is marked different from the previous in its electrical powering. While the previous two features stoves were gas, this KitchenAid electric range still features the Even-Heat™ True Convection technology. The distinctive bow-tie configuration combined with a convection fan guarantees even heating throughout the entire oven, maintaining an ideal temperature for the whole bake time. It also features five cooking surfaces that allow for a range of cooking techniques, and a dedicated "warming zone."
★ KitchenAid Stove #KFEG500ESS Review:
One customer said: "It is a great range. Always happy with a KitchenAid."
KitchenAid® 30" Stainless Steel Slide In Electric Range
This KitchenAid range combines both exquisite design and remarkable features. The appliance features user-friendly Glass Touch Controls and an innovative EasyConvect™ Conversion system for convection cooking. Additionally, the Aqualift® technology efficiently cleans the oven without odors, all while maintaining a temperature below 200°F, simplifying oven maintenance. Like the previously featured ranges, this one is also equipped with Even-Heat™ True Convection.
Unlike the first three featured stoves, this one is a slide in option. Slide-in ranges are designed to fit seamlessly between cabinets, providing a built-in look and often featuring front-mounted controls for a sleek appearance and easier reach. In comparison, freestanding ranges are standalone units that can be placed anywhere in the kitchen, with finished sides and the design to stand alone.
★ KitchenAid Stove #KSEG700ESS Review:
"The five burners give us more 'space' for cooking," said one customer. "Great value, great capabilities, and a cool look."

KitchenAid® 30" Stainless Steel Slide In Induction Range
This stove boasts the same high-performing Even-Heat™ True Convection technologies as some previous ovens. Still, it features other innovations, such as Air Fryer Mode, that allow food to be cooked perfectly crispy without additional oil. Just one feature in an impressive roster of qualities, this oven has a steam rack and steam bake options to keep moisture inside the oven. This KitchenAid slide-in range is one of the manufacturer's most popular but also one of our more expensive featured here.
★ KitchenAid Stove #KSIS730PSS Review:
One happy customer shared, "This is a dream oven! This was a splurge for me, but it's so worth it. This is nothing less than a dream oven. I love the air fryer function and it's so beautiful and really makes my kitchen more upscale. It was really easy to install, everything works great and it's super easy to clean. Highly recommend!"
KitchenAid® 30" Stainless Steel Freestanding Electric Double Oven Range
Another considerable leap down from the cost of the previous induction range, this stove features five heating surfaces and a dedicated warming zone so that you can have multiple pots on the go. The 10" Even-Heat™ Ultra Element allows both fast boiling and precise simmering, creating the perfect cooking conditions for combination cooking.
★ KitchenAid Stove #KFED500ESS Review:
One customer praises this KitchenAid stove's dependability: "We have had this range for a couple of months already, and it does what we expected. It is a good unit and does what we chose it for."

KitchenAid® 30" Stainless Steel Freestanding Gas Double Oven Range
This freestanding KitchenAid stove oven has many of the same features as the others listed, and has a price about even with the other cost-friendly ranges featured. It is a large oven (6.0 cu ft.) with room for many pots, perfect for meal preparation at once. It is also sensitive, with five burners ranging from 5,000 to 17,000 BTU, allowing for a rolling boil to turn seamlessly into a simmer.
★ KitchenAid Stove #KFGD500ESS Review:
That ample oven space proved to be a winner for one customer who wrote: "I put it to the test yesterday for Thanksgiving dinner, and it worked fabulously! My first double oven, and it made preparing dinner so much smoother !! Beautifully designed as well."
KitchenAid® 36" Free Standing Gas Range
Our final KitchenAid stove could be classed as one of the best 36-inch ranges, and the only of this size featured here. This stylish commercial-style range is complete with another roster of impressive color schemes.
It has many of the same features as the last, including Even-Heat™ True Convection and the capacity for intelligent appliance connection. Still, it boasts a dual concentric oven knob (providing one-handed control of oven mode and temperature). Perhaps most uniquely, this oven is 'Star-K Certified,' meaning it meets kosher requirements for use on the Jewish Sabbath, where it can be kept at a constant temperature.
★ KitchenAid Stove #KFGC506JSS Review:
Customers love this oven, one reviewed, "This stove is amazing. My husband lost interest in cooking until we purchased this stove. Crazy how much he has been inspired to create great meals with this stove!"
