GE 30" 5.0 Cu. Ft. Gas Range vs Whirlpool Gas Range

Both are 30-inch freestanding gas ranges with five burners, so the choice comes down to oven size, cleaning and finish. The Whirlpool WFG505M0MS gives you a slightly larger 5.1 cu ft oven, steam cleaning and a stainless finish, and owners rate it 4.2 out of 5 across more than 1,200 ratings. The GE JCGBS66SEKSS adds a griddle and a fifth burner layout built around it, but its listed capacity is smaller and it comes in black only. Buy the Whirlpool for the bigger oven and easier cleanup; buy the GE if you want a griddle surface and a black range.

• Choose the GE JCGBS66SEKSS if you want a built-in griddle for pancakes and tortillas and a black finish that matches your kitchen.
• Choose the Whirlpool WFG505M0MS if you want the larger oven, steam cleaning and a stainless steel finish backed by a long record of owner ratings.
