Need 30" gas range advice

6 years ago

Our cheap white gas range has finally died so we're going to replace it with a stainless 30" gas range. We may be selling our house in the next year, but we may end up staying.

I'm wondering what the best option would be for resale. We have a Frigidaire Pro refrigerator. Should we get a Frigidaire Pro gas range to match it? (The refrigerator is across from the stove.)

If not, what about these options? (Ordered by Consumer Report ratings)

LG Signature LUTD4919SN range $3239 - Rating 84
Samsung NY58J9850WS range $2969 - Rating 81
Samsung NX58H9500WS range $1498 - Rating 79

I'm not a big cook so I don't need a lot of fancy features. But I would like the range to look nice, to work properly, and to be easy to clean.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

PS if you truly want easy to clean, Frigidaire makes a decent induction range- induction, not radiant heat- nothing gets baked on- wipe with a cloth and you are done with cleanup.

I would stick with Frigidaire, not because it matches, but because Samsung and LG sway ratings with their added features.

I haven't used any of these, but if you aren't a big cook, why would you spend $1800 more on something you're not going to love? If you're happy with the looks of the $1500 range, get that one. I can't imagine the $3K+ one will have a higher return on investment in terms of the sale price of your house.

I have a friend that cooks & bakes a lot. A year ago she put in a GE profile gas range & is very pleased.

@Zalco/bring back Sophie! "Samsung and LG sway ratings with their added features."

Consumer Reports displays the result of each test it preforms on the ranges and the ranges' overall scores track those results. There are many low-rated ranges loaded with features in the ratings.

CR reports are very suspect.

OP go with the Frigidaire. It's a good basic range and since you're not planning on staying, whomever buys your house can decide to change it if they wish.
