Freestanding Ovens, Upright Stoves & Range Cookers

🔥 Freestanding Ovens – The Ultimate Guide to Buying the Perfect Range for Your Kitchen

Looking to add serious style and functionality to your kitchen? A freestanding oven (also known as a range, stove, or cooker) could be THE showpiece appliance you’ve been searching for. Whether you're replacing an old unit or designing a brand-new kitchen, Newtons Designer Appliances has the expert advice and extensive range to help you find the right fit.

✅ What are Freestanding Ovens?

A freestanding oven is a cooktop and oven in one standalone unit, designed to fit seamlessly between cabinetry or stand alone as a feature. Sizes range from compact 54 cm models to 150 cm wide, making them ideal for everything from small households to serious entertainers.

Choose from:

• Electric ovens with gas cooktops

• All-electric ranges

• High-efficiency induction freestanding ovens

👨‍🍳 Why Choose a Freestanding Oven?

Freestanding ovens are perfect for:

• Large families who need extra cooking capacity

• Home entertainers looking to cook multiple dishes at once

• Style-conscious buyers wanting a statement piece in stainless steel, matte black, or colourful enamel

With generous oven cavities, you can roast veggies, bake proteins, and even throw in dessert — all at the same time. They're the workhorses of modern kitchens, combining function with flair.

🔍 What to Consider Before You Buy

1. Size & Layout

• 60 cm – Great for smaller kitchens, fits most spaces. Typically includes 4 burners or cooking zones.

• 90 cm – One of the most popular choices. Multi-functional electric ovens with 5–6 burners and stylish designs in stainless or black steel.

• 70–80 cm – Perfect middle ground with more space to cook and less crowding.

• 120–150 cm – Ideal for serious home chefs. Includes two ovens, extra-wide cooktops, and space for accessories like chargrill plates, teppanyaki zones, and more.

2. Cooktop Options

• Choose from gas, electric, or the increasingly popular induction cooktops

• Look for well-spaced burners with simmer, medium, and high-heat zones

• Consider safety features like:

  • Residual heat indicators (for ceramic & induction)

  • Auto shut-off if no cookware is detected (for induction)

3. Ease of Cleaning

Hate scrubbing the oven? You're not alone.

Look for ovens with pyrolytic cleaning, high-quality enamel or catalytic liners.

4. Ergonomics & Accessibility

• Keep in mind: you’ll be bending down to access trays, unlike with wall ovens

• Larger oven trays can be heavier and trickier to manage when hot — plan your sink and bench layout accordingly

5. Style & Finish

• Love the traditional look? Explore enamel-coated ovens in vintage colours with heritage fittings

• Prefer a sleek, modern design? Opt for black steel or brushed stainless steel finishes to suit contemporary kitchens

🧠 Pro Tips for Making the Right Choice

• If you’re upgrading from a 60 cm unit, measure carefully and plan cabinetry accordingly

• Think about your cooking habits – do you need a separate grill? Two ovens? More than 4 burners?

• Induction is worth considering — it’s fast, energy-efficient, and easy to clean

• Make sure your cookware is compatible with induction if that’s your choice
