Choosing an electric stove offers plenty of advantages beyond convenience. Compared to gas, electric models are easier to clean, often more affordable to install, and heat more evenly across the electric stove top. Here’s why so many homeowners prefer them:
- Even heat distribution: Electric burners maintain a steady temperature, perfect for baking or simmering delicate sauces.
- Cleaner operation: There’s no need for gas lines, ventilation for fumes, or pilot lights. You can just plug it in and cook.
- Modern design: The smooth glass stove top electric surface gives your kitchen a sleek, minimal look.
- Safety: Without an open flame, electric stoves reduce fire risk and keep your kitchen cooler.
- Efficiency: Heat transfers directly to the cookware, so your pots and pans get hot faster.
If you’re deciding between gas vs. electric stoves, remember that electric models are typically easier to maintain, install, and are more environmentally friendly. They’re also ideal for apartments or homes without a gas connection.
Types of Electric Stoves

➥ Slide-In Electric Ranges: A slide-in electric range sits flush with your countertops for a built-in look. The controls are on the front, and there’s no backguard, which gives it a clean, custom appearance. These are popular for open kitchens or island installations.
➥ Drop-In Electric Ranges: A drop-in electric stove fits into cabinetry and often rests on a base cabinet. These models don’t have storage drawers or a back panel, offering a streamlined, designer finish.
➥ Freestanding Electric Ranges: A freestanding electric range is the most flexible option. It can go almost anywhere, usually has a backguard with controls, and often costs less than slide-in or drop-in designs. If you want a reliable stove electric that installs easily, this is the way to go.

Electric Stove FAQs
An electric stove is also called an electric range or stove top electric. The term “range” refers to a combined cooktop and oven, while “stove” can refer to either the cooking surface or the entire appliance. Both terms describe a cooking appliance powered by electricity instead of gas.
The gas vs. electric stove answer depends on your cooking style. Gas offers instant visual control with a flame, while electric models deliver even, consistent heat and a smooth surface that’s easier to clean. Many home cooks prefer electric stoves for baking and roasting because of the even temperature distribution.
Practically, there’s little difference. An electric range refers to the full appliance—both the oven and electric stove top combined. The term “electric stove” can also refer to the same thing, though occasionally it’s used just for the cooking surface.
