    Broiling: This model had Very Good performance for broiling, which reflects high-heat searing and even browning of a tray of burgers.
    Oven capacity: This model had Excellent performance for oven capacity, our gauge of usable oven space.

    About

    The Maytag MER8800DS is part of the Ranges test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Electric Smoothtop Ranges models like the MER8800DS are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

    Cooktop high: This reflects how quickly the most powerful element could raise a large pot of water from room temperature to a near boil.

    Cooktop low: This reflects how well the lowest-powered element or burner kept a low temperature as for melting chocolate. We also set the most powerful element to its lowest setting to test its ability to hold a large pot of tomato sauce below a boil.

    Baking: This reflects the evenness of cookies and cakes in multi-rack baking tests.
