Does it have a self-cleaning oven?

No. The 4.8 cu. ft. oven is manual clean, so you scrub it by hand.

What is the high-output burner for?

The 18,000 BTU burner is the hottest of the four and suits searing, stir-frying and boiling large pots fast.

Can I change the door color later?

The range is sold with customizable door colors, but check with the store on which colors are available and whether panels are sold separately.

Will it fit a standard 30-inch cutout?

It is 30 inches wide, 36 inches tall and 26.5 inches deep, a common freestanding size. Measure your cutout and gas connection before ordering.

Is this range worth it?

You pay for the pro-style grates, convection and color options. If you want self-cleaning or five burners, a mainstream range offers those instead.

Our take on the Magic Chef 30 Inch Freestanding Gas Range

The Magic Chef 30 Inch Freestanding Gas Range is a pro-style gas range with four sealed burners, an 18,000 BTU high-output burner and a 4.8 cu. ft. convection oven. It stands out for heavy-duty continuous cast iron grates and customizable door colors, which let you match the kitchen without buying a new range. The oven is manual clean, so no self-cleaning cycle. Against mainstream 30-inch gas ranges it trades self-cleaning and a fifth burner for the pro-style grates, convection and color choice.
