Most and Least Reliable Electric Range Brands

We determine an electric range’s predicted reliability rating by asking CR members whether the one they bought developed problems or broke down. Then we use that data to make projections about how new models from a given brand will hold up over the first five years of ownership. Some brands have a much higher problem rate than others.

We also ask members how likely they are to recommend their range, and that serves as the basis for our owner satisfaction rating.

If you’re shopping for a new range, start with our range buying guide to zero in on features and options that matter to you. Next, turn to our range ratings for the complete picture.
