BRAND REPAIR HISTORY
Every year, we ask our subscribers about repairs to the products they own, yielding brand-by-brand comparisons of reliability. Some tested brands are not included because too few subscribers reported on that brand to yield a meaningful finding.

Gas Ranges Reliability Graphic


Gas ranges have historically been more repair-prone than electrics. You can minimize potential problems by choosing a reliable brand. The graphs below show the percentage of models that have ever been repaired or had a serious problem. Differences of 3 or more points are meaningful. Our brand-repair histories have been quite consistent over the years, though they aren't infallible predictors. Repair rates for specific models may vary, and products can change. Data have been standardized to eliminate differences due to age.

Based on more than 30,000 responses to our 2000 Annual Questionnaire on gas ranges purchased new between 1995 and 2000.
