Shop Slide-In RangesWhat Is a Slide-In Electric Range?
A slide in electric range is designed to slide snugly between your kitchen cabinets for a clean, built-in appearance. Unlike freestanding ranges, which have finished sides and a back panel that often sticks up, a slide in range sits flush with your counters and typically has front controls. This gives you a custom, integrated look that many homeowners prefer for modern kitchen layouts.
How it works: Slide in ranges work just like any other electric range—they use electric heating elements or induction technology to heat your cookware. You simply slide the range into a pre-measured space, connect it to power, and it’s ready to go.
How it compares:
- Freestanding ranges can go anywhere and have backguards with control panels.
- Drop-in ranges are built into cabinetry or custom cutouts, often without a bottom drawer.
- Slide in ranges give you the built-in look of a drop-in model, but with easier installation and a lower price point.
If you want a streamlined, professional aesthetic without any major remodeling, a slide in electric cooking range hits the sweet spot.

What to Know Before You Buy a Slide In Electric Range
Before buying a slide in range, it’s smart to plan ahead. Here are a few things you may want to consider:
➥ Measure Carefully: Most slide in models, including the 30” slide in electric range, are designed for a 30-inch cabinet opening. Double-check height, width, and depth to ensure a snug fit.
➥ Power Requirements: These ranges need a 240-volt electrical connection. Make sure your kitchen outlet is properly wired.
➥ Installation: Because slide in ranges have no backguard, they need a countertop and backsplash behind them. Some models have adjustable trim kits to fill any small gaps.
➥ Features and Style: Look for features that match your cooking habits; this can include things like convection ovens, air fry settings, induction tops, Wi-Fi control, and easy-clean finishes.
➥ Brand and Reliability: Top brands like GE, Samsung, Frigidaire, Bosch, LG, and KitchenAid all make excellent electric slide in ranges. Each has its strengths, from innovative tech to durability and design.

Slide-In Electric Range FAQs
Installation usually involves sliding the range into place between cabinets and connecting it to a 240V outlet. Make sure the counter height matches the range height for a flush fit. Many homeowners choose professional installation to ensure safety and proper alignment.
First, turn off the power at the breaker. Disconnect the range’s power cord, then gently slide it out from its cabinet space. Use a furniture dolly or sliders to avoid scratching your floors.
