Best Compact Ranges Ranked

31 gas, electric and induction ranges 20 and 24 in wide, scored on oven capacity, cooking power, features, value and warranty.

Last updated: November 9, 2026

A compact range is a full stove, cooktop and oven together, cut down to 20 or 24 in wide for apartments, cabins, ADUs and other small kitchens. These rankings cover freestanding and slide-in household ranges from Avanti, Summit, Cosmo, ZLINE, Forno, KoolMore, Frigidaire, Danby, Equator and others. RV ranges, 30 in ranges, wall ovens and portable cooktops are left out.

Width comes first. Measure the opening, not the old range: a 20 in range leaves a gap in a 24 in space, and a 24 in range won’t fit a 20 in one.

Fuel and hookup come next. Gas ranges with electronic ignition plug into a standard 120 V outlet for the igniters, and a few propane models light from a battery and need no electricity at all. Electric and induction ranges, and dual-fuel ranges with an electric oven, need a 240 V range circuit.

Oven size varies more than the outside does. A 24 in range can hold anything from 1.9 to 3.7 cu ft, which is the difference between a quarter sheet pan and a full roasting pan. Check the oven figure if you bake.
