Overview of GE Electric Ranges

GE offers a variety of electric ranges in different sizes, finishes, and styles. Keep reading for tips on how to select the best range for your household.

Size

As with any appliance, measuring the spot where you plan to install your range is crucial. The standard range size in the US is 30”, but ranges can span from 20” to 60”.

Style

Another important consideration is whether you need a slide in or freestanding range. A slide in range is designed to fit between your cabinets, while a freestanding range can be placed anywhere. A slide in range may not have any fashionable panels or coverings on its sides because not all sides are intended to be seen. A freestanding range, however, is finished on the sides but can still fit between your cabinets — as long as you measure correctly.

No matter what your kitchen style is — modern or traditional, industrial or warm — you can find a finish that complements your overall design.

Best GE Electric Ranges + Reviews

The cost for a GE electric range spans from under $600 to over $2,000 for a traditional electric range. We’ve compiled a list of our top picks for every budget, starting with our most affordable pick.

Best Budget GE Electric Range

The GE 30” Freestanding Electric Range features 5.0 cubic feet of oven capacity so that you can prepare a feast. We love the convenience of the self-cleaning oven and removable full-width storage drawer below. Sensi-Temp Technology allows you to enjoy the same cooking power as a traditional coil with an added safety feature. The GE electric range white option is a timeless classic.

 GE® 30" White Freestanding Electric Range

One five star reviewer and verified purchaser said, “Simple, easy to use, cooks great, looks great, and it’s NOT a glass top. Not everyone likes a glass top stove. Perfect!”

Best GE Electric Ranges for Small Spaces

If you need a smaller than the standard range, the GE 24” Stainless Steel Freestanding Electric Range offers a convenient option with an easy to clean glass cooktop and a 30-minute steam clean cycle.

 GE® 24" Stainless Steel Free Standing Electric Range

One five star reviewer and verified purchaser said of this GE 24” electric range, “I switched over from my gas stove and thought it would be harder to adjust-but it’s not! This stove works well, is simple to use, and has an elegant look.”

The GE 27” Black Drop In Electric Range is a sleek option that can seamlessly integrate into the flow of your kitchen cabinets. Chrome drip bowls contain spills and are removable for easy cleaning. Four burners and 3.0 cubic feet of oven space provide ample cook space, even though the range is smaller than a standard 30” range.

 GE 27" Black Drop In Electric Range

One five star reviewer and verified purchaser said of this GE 27” electric range, “We’ve had a GE drop-in oven/stovetop in our house for over 35 years. This model replaced our old one with very little modification to the countertop and cabinets. It has better oven controls and easier access under the stovetop burners. A much needed upgrade!”

Best GE Electric Ranges with Convection Oven

The GE 30” Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Freestanding Electric Range combines an electric glass cooktop with the delicious results of convection cooking. We love the no-preheat air fry option that doesn’t require a basket or special tray. You can enjoy crispier, healthier versions of your favorite foods. The fifth element warming zone allows you to keep dishes warm for longer, and the dual burner cooktop allows you to choose between 12” and 9” electric elements depending on the size of your pan.

 GE® 30" Stainless Steel Free Standing Electric Range

With over 5,000 five star reviews, this is an excellent choice. One five star reviewer and verified purchaser said of this GE electric range stainless steel option, “I love my new oven! It is easy to use and to clean! I love the air fry feature, it is great not having to have another appliance sitting out on the counter since my oven can now air fry. It preheats easily and the quick boil feature is amazing!”

For a slide in range with convection cooking, the GE 30” Fingerprint Resistant Black Slate Slide In Electric Range is an excellent option. The GE electric range slate finish is subtle and sophisticated. You can feel like a professional chef and cook with ease in your own home. Convenient features abound with a fifth element warming zone, power boil element, and fast preheat capabilities. Look no further for a GE 30” slide in electric convection range that will yield crispy and evenly cooked results.

 GE® 30" Fingerprint Resistant Black Slate Slide In Electric Range

One five star reviewer and verified purchaser said of this GE electric range 30 inch option, “Has all the cooking and baking functionality you need and even some features you didn’t know you needed. The warming zone has become one of my favorite features. The unit is easy to keep clean.”

Best GE Electric Range with Double Ovens

The GE 30” Slide In Electric Convection Double Oven Range is made for the ambitious home chef and entertainer. With 6.7 cubic feet of total capacity, you can cook multiple dishes at once. This oven features a unique hidden baking element that removes hard-to-reach areas and makes cleanup easier.

 GE® 30" Slide In Electric Convection Double Oven Range

One five star reviewer said of this GE double oven electric range slide in option, “Love the two ovens. The smaller oven preheats quickly and is used most of the time which saves energy. The stove top cleans up easily and is very attractive. Great stove for the holidays! Easy to understand controls.”

Best GE Electric Range with an Induction Cooktop

Technically speaking, an induction range is a subcategory of electric ranges because, unlike gas ranges, their fuel source is still electric. With the GE 30” Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Slide In Induction Range, you can enjoy all the speed and precision induction cooking has to offer. Using magnetic cookware, the precision cooktop sensor lets you control the temperature of any induction-ready pan on your device or via the range’s display. The oven utilizes convection cooking, and you can control your oven from anywhere with the SmartHQ app. Check the progress of your meal with the in-oven CookCam. This is the range for you for a premium cooking experience at home.

 GE® 30" Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Slide In Induction Range

One five star reviewer and verified purchaser called this range “Surprisingly User Friendly,” saying, “We like everything about this range. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and it’s very responsive. It heats large quantities of liquid even faster than I expected.”

There is a plethora of options when it comes to electric ranges, and we hope this guide helps you zero in on which GE electric range is right for you. Are you a baker who would delight in double ovens, or do you love to cook up crispy veggies to feed your family with convection cooking? A GE electric range could transform your next meal.
