These latest findings come from the Consumer Reports 2018, 2019, and 2020 Spring Surveys, which leverage data on 88,510 ranges that our members purchased between 2010 and 2020.
We have reliability ratings for 14 major manufacturers of gas ranges: Amana, Bosch, Cafe (formerly GE Cafe), Electrolux, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, KitchenAid, LG, Maytag, Samsung, and Whirlpool.
Of the most reliable brands of gas ranges that were covered in our survey, only Samsung earns a rating of Excellent. Seven additional brands earn a rating of Very Good: Bosch, Cafe, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, and LG. Ranges from these brands are the least likely to have problems during the first five years of ownership.
Of those eight brands, four also earn a rating of Very Good for owner satisfaction: Bosch, Cafe, LG and Samsung. No gas range brand earns a rating of Excellent for owner satisfaction.
Bottom line? Samsung is the most reliable brand, and ties for the highest owner satisfaction rating. Bosch, Cafe, and LG are also good bets, with Very Good ratings for both predicted reliability and owner satisfaction. These four brands make a number of models that perform extremely well in our lab tests, too
