KitchenAid offers a diverse lineup of ranges that cater to various cooking needs and preferences. Their ranges come in multiple fuel types, allowing you to choose the option that works best for your cooking style and kitchen setup.
Fuel Types
KitchenAid ranges are available in gas, electric, induction, and dual fuel models. Gas ranges provide precise heat control and are favored by many chefs for their responsiveness. Electric ranges offer even cooking and are easy to clean, while induction models provide fast, energy-efficient cooking with magnetic technology. Dual fuel ranges combine a gas cooktop with an electric oven, offering the best of both worlds for those who seek versatility in their cooking appliances.
Installation Types
KitchenAid ranges come in a variety of installation types to suit different kitchen layouts. Freestanding ranges are versatile and can be placed anywhere in the kitchen, making them an easy installation option. Slide-in ranges create a more integrated look, as they fit seamlessly between cabinetry for a custom appearance. Drop-in ranges are designed to fit into pre-built cutouts for a clean, professional finish. KitchenAid also offers downdraft ranges, which have built-in ventilation, eliminating the need for a separate range hood—ideal for kitchens where space is limited or aesthetics are a priority.
Configurations and Sizes
KitchenAid offers both single and double oven configurations, ranging from 30” to 48”. Single oven ranges are ideal for most households, offering a balance between size and functionality. Double oven models, on the other hand, provide extra cooking capacity, allowing you to prepare multiple dishes at different temperatures simultaneously. A 30” range is standard, but many custom kitchens plan for a layout that includes a spacious 48” range.
With this wide array of fuel types, configurations, and installation options, KitchenAid’s range lineup offers something for everyone, from casual cooks to culinary enthusiasts.

KitchenAid Range Review: The Breakdown
Next, let’s dive into KitchenAid range features, price, and design.
KitchenAid Range Features
KitchenAid ranges are packed with features that enhance both convenience and cooking precision. Many models come with convection cooking, which uses a fan to circulate air in the oven for faster, more even baking and roasting. For those who enjoy cooking large meals, the True Convection system is particularly beneficial, ensuring that heat is distributed evenly throughout the oven, even on multiple racks.
Another standout feature is the Even-Heat technology, which maintains a consistent temperature inside the oven, eliminating the common problem of hot spots. This feature ensures that every part of your dish is cooked evenly, whether you're baking a delicate soufflé or roasting a large cut of meat.
Many KitchenAid ranges also come equipped with self-cleaning ovens, making it easier to maintain a spotless cooking environment. Some models offer a steam-cleaning option that uses water and heat to loosen baked-on messes without the need for harsh chemicals.
In terms of the cooktop, KitchenAid’s power burners provide up to 20,000 BTUs, allowing for high-heat cooking like searing or boiling water quickly. The ranges also often feature simmer burners for low-heat tasks like melting chocolate or simmering delicate sauces.
KitchenAid also incorporates smart features in some models, allowing you to control your oven remotely using a smartphone app. This is perfect for busy households, as you can preheat your oven or monitor cooking progress while handling other tasks.
KitchenAid Range Price
KitchenAid ranges are priced in the mid-to-high range, making them an excellent choice if you want premium features without the ultra-luxury price tag. The cost of a KitchenAid range typically falls between $1,500 and $4,000, depending on the model and its features. However, commercial style KitchenAid ranges can cost anywhere from $5,000 to over $11,000.
The pricing reflects the range’s combination of high-end materials, advanced technology, and durable construction. While they are more expensive than basic entry-level ranges, KitchenAid ranges are considered a good value for what they offer. The commercial style, dual fuel, and induction models are generally on the higher end of the spectrum, while gas and electric models are more budget-friendly.
Considering the long lifespan, excellent performance, and premium features, KitchenAid ranges offer a strong price-to-value ratio, making them a solid investment for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen appliances.
KitchenAid Range Design
KitchenAid is known for its attention to design, offering ranges that not only perform well but also enhance the aesthetics of your kitchen. Their ranges feature stainless steel finishes, which lend a professional and modern look to any space. Many models also come with options for fingerprint-resistant finishes, ensuring that your appliance stays looking sleek even with frequent use.
For those who like a bold, statement-making kitchen, KitchenAid offers ranges with commercial-style handles and robust, professional-grade knobs that give the appliance a high-end, industrial feel. The glass-touch controls on many models provide a sleek and minimalist appearance while still being highly functional and easy to clean.
In addition to aesthetics, KitchenAid prioritizes ergonomic design. The oven doors are designed to open smoothly, and the racks inside glide easily for seamless access to your dishes. Whether you're cooking for a family dinner or entertaining guests, KitchenAid ranges are designed to make the cooking process as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

“We LOVE our Kitchenaid stove and suite of appliances. I'd rather stay in and cook a delicious meal with locally sourced food now! So many options for flames with the various burners and settings. I also love that you can sauté with a wok with one quick lift of a grate. Oven is plenty big enough - I don't miss my double oven at all. Easy to clean splatters and spills. Thanks Kitchenaid for more great home solutions. Best fridge and dishwasher too! Thoughtful shelving options for both and beautiful with the wood grain shelf trim!”
