Best Stove for the Money: Gas, Electric or Induction, and How Much to Spend

For most homes the best value is a plain freestanding range on the fuel you already have, about $600–$1,300. Choose induction if you have or can cheaply add a 50-amp circuit; a well-rated one starts around $1,400. Paying past about $4,000 buys looks and features, not reliability.
