➤ Size: Most ranges are 30 inches or 36 inches wide to match standard kitchen cutouts, but there are some larger options available.
➤ Style: Choose between a built-in range or a freestanding model depending on your kitchen layout.
➤ Heating Elements: Decide whether you prefer a flat-top stove or want to cook over traditional electric coils.
➤ Single vs. Double Ovens: Multiple Whirlpool ranges have double ovens built in for bonus functionality.
➤ Technology: Consider whether or not smart functionality is important to you when shopping for kitchen appliances. 

Once you work through these criteria, you can choose from a handful of quality Whirlpool electric ranges that perfectly meet your needs.

There are dozens of features to love when you invest in a Whirlpool electric stove. Here are just five unique reasons why you will enjoy cooking on one of these ranges compared to other brands on the market.

  • Built-In Air Fry Functionality: Get rid of the air fryer that takes up too much counter space when you buy a Whirlpool electric range. Enjoy crispy wings and french fries without the mess by investing in a range that has built-in air fry functionality. 
  • Double Ovens: The only thing better than buying a Whirlpool slide-in electric range is a range with two ovens. Shop for one of the Whirlpool models that provides a smaller second oven for a faster cooking experience.
  • Smart Connectivity: Manage your range through your smartphone and turn to Yummly® for recipe ideas. You can even send the correct settings from the Yummly® app to your range so it is ready for you to use.
  • Steam Cleaning Technology: Self-cleaning features on ovens can actually harm the appliances because of the extreme heat they use. Instead, Whirlpool embraces AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology that uses steam to break apart cooked-on grime.
  • Party Mode: This feature is part of the Keep Warm settings and keeps your oven at a warm but low temperature throughout your house party. You can warm dishes so they are ready when guests arrive without cooking over a hot stove. 

Some of the features you will use every day, like the double ovens, while others will provide value when you need them. You will love steam cleaning your oven instead of burning off any spilled food at extreme temperatures.

Choosing the best possible range can be difficult once you realize how many appliances Whirlpool creates. There are dozens of electric ranges available, which means you can choose one that checks all of your ideal appliance boxes. Here are a few steps you can take to filter down your options.

  1. Set a Budget: Identify how much you are willing to pay for your range.
  2. Measure Your Kitchen: Know exactly how wide your range should be. Most kitchens accommodate 30-inch or 36-inch cooktops.
  3. Choose Your Burner Design: Decide whether you prefer to cook on a flat-top stove or want to stick with traditional coil burners.
  4. Identify Whether You Want a Single Oven or a Double Oven: Even if you aren’t sure you will use both sections at the same time, purchasing a model with double ovens could be an investment in your home.
  5. List Your Must-Have Features: Some homeowners want convection systems while others are eager to prepare meals with the built-in air fry systems.
  6. Look for Optional Bonus Functionality: If you still need to narrow your options, look for additional features, like steam cleaning and smart technology, that could make cooking more enjoyable. 

The final step is to look at the different colors offered by Whirlpool. Many ranges come in stainless steel, black, or white models. Pick the appliance that matches your current kitchen design.
