A freestanding range is a kitchen appliance that combines a cooktop and an oven into one unit. It is designed to stand independently, meaning it does not need to be built into cabinetry. Freestanding ranges come in various sizes, styles, and fuel types, including gas, electric, and dual-fuel options. These ranges typically feature multiple burners on the cooktop for stovetop cooking and an oven below for baking and roasting. Many models also include additional features like self-cleaning options, convection cooking, and digital controls, making them versatile and user-friendly for home cooks.
