In Consumer Reports’ cooking appliance lab, our engineers and technicians put dozens of new gas ranges through their paces each year. Our performance tests capture everything from how quickly a model heats water to how evenly it bakes.
But we also look into how appliances hold up outside the lab, in the real world of our members’ homes. We survey members every year about the products they own, and we use that data to make projections about how new models from a given brand will hold up over time—our predicted reliability ratings.
We also ask members how likely they are to recommend their range, and that serves as the basis for our owner satisfaction rating.

From our surveys, we have reliability ratings for 17 major manufacturers of gas ranges: Amana, Bosch, Café (formerly GE Café), Electrolux, Frigidaire, GE, Hisense, Hotpoint, JennAir, Kenmore, KitchenAid, LG, Maytag, Monogram, Samsung, Thermador, and Whirlpool.
