the ideal rage depth for a 24 inch counter

last year

Hello there, I am looking for expert advice please. I am in the process of shopping for a slide in/free standing range for my 24 inch countertops.
What depth should my range be?
Is a 28 in too deep?
Thank you in advance.

    Is your counter really going to be 24"D? Generally, they're 25.5"D. Non-inset base cabinet boxes, without doors or drawer fronts, are 24"D. Doors & drawer fronts add another 1" or so to the depth. Pulls and knobs add another 0.5" or so.

    Counters overhang boxes by around 1.5" to cover the cabinet boxes, doors/drawer fronts, and, usually, hardware. The overhang prevents drips/spills from dripping into cabinets and/or drawers and down the cabinet doors/drawer fronts -- drips will damage both.

    Inset cabinets can get away with 1" overhang b/c the doors/drawer fronts are inset into the cabinet box, but I would not go any shallower.

    So, what will/is the true depth of your counters?

    If this is an existing Kitchen that has a countertop that is not being changed and you measured them to be 24" from the wall to the counter edge, then that's what you have (for your sake, I hope it's not!)

    If this is for a new/remodel and new counters are being installed, then I would check with your fabricator to ensure you are getting the correct overhang.

    Regarding slide-in range depths, the depths are close to the same. They may vary by an inch or so, but I think you'll be OK with whichever one you choose. Focus on the depth without handles. From AJ Madison's site for a GE Profile Induction Range. Note the depth without handles is 27-3/8".

    Excellent idea. “Focus on depth without handles” I like that!
    The range I am looking at , the monogram, the knobs and handles are very bulky so they make the range look huge.
    Thank you so much for your help.

    You can also look at induction ranges in 30 and 36" from Bosch and Electrolux.

    "The range I am looking at , the monogram, the knobs and handles..."

    Are you considering a gas or dual-fuel range? 30" wide? (Monogram doesn't make a induction ranges with knobs.)

    Just gas. I am looking at the 30 inch natural gas monogram.

    Tis Bosch 800 doesn't have knobs to stick out. This is a standard install.

    If this is a renovation, you can choose different counter depths to maximize function. Standard cabinets can be spaced out from the wall with 2x4 spacers. A counter depth of 28 to 30 inches can add substantial function in a galley run when workzone width is limited.

    Bosch benchmark is a runner up.
    I like the sleeker look their products offer.

    These two GE Profile ranges earned "recommended" ratings from CR and both are only 26-7/8" deep without the handle. Owners recommend them too. The latter is a bargain at $900.

    Very nice!! Thank you so much. That’s a great price and a good looking range.
