Posted by Todd Buehler on Feb 18, 2021 10:00 AM 

 

If you are looking for a new range and have only a 24 inch opening to work with, choices can be limited.

For many customers with small spaces, a coil top range can do the job.

However, if you want a smooth top for your condo, apartment, or small kitchen, 24 inch electric range smooth top models can be hard to find and even harder to find reviews for. We wrote this blog to help provide more information about a few of the great models that are available in smooth top for the 24 inch market to help you find the best model for you.

Will a Steam Clean Oven Really Clean?

Posted by Jeff Allaire on Sep 22, 2020 8:30 AM

Getting down on your kitchen floor and scrubbing the inside of your oven using harsh oven cleaners was the only way to get it clean. In the 1960s, self cleaning range models were introduced by General Electric. Many consumers love the self cleaning feature, but as time has passed, consumers have demanded alternatives. Steam clean oven models were born to meet the need for a less harsh, faster, and more energy-efficient oven cleaning option.
