Whirlpool 30-Inch Gas Range SF362LXT

Date Published: 11/7/07

Whirlpool's SF362LXT is all you'll ever need in a range, and it proves to be the choice of many home builders. We like this range for exactly the same reasons the builders do. The SF362LXT has a great price, and it is attractive and readily available. To make it even better, this range is also reliable and easy to service when necessary.

The SF362LXT's power burners set it apart from other ranges in its price bracket, and they rival burners found on much more expensive models. The two power burners can surge up to 12,500 Btu for quick boiling, stir-frying and searing. Even better than the power is the convenience of the SF362LXT's sealed burners. You can find ranges for less, but it's very unlikely they'll offer such easy-cleaning, high-performance burners.

Available in bisque, white, black and stainless, the SF362LXT complements other modern appliances. You'll pay an additional $100 (suggested) if you choose the range in stainless, but as far as stainless ranges go, this one is quite affordable.

The SF362LXT has a sleek look, and its AccuBake oven is particularly impressive. The AccuBake system electronically regulates the heat in the oven, ensuring that the temperature is even throughout. If you are baking at 350 degrees, AccuBake makes sure that it is 350 degrees everywhere in the oven -- on any shelf, top or bottom, back or front. Even heat is particularly important when preparing baked goods like cakes, muffins, breads and cookies, so the AccuBake feature proves very advantageous.

The SF362LXT utilizes digital controls for the oven and standard knobs for the gas burners. Each burner has electric ignition, and the oven has multiple self-cleaning levels for varying amounts of baked-in soil.

At this price point, it is hard not to like the Whirlpool SF362LXT freestanding gas range.


Pros: Great feature set and performance for the price, sealed burners, AccuBake system ensures consistent oven temperature
Cons: Lacks any higher-end features
