Ranges
Frugal consumers won't sacrifice much by opting for a cheap range. To be sure, more money spent on top-end labels such as Viking, Electrolux, and Bosch will get you more powerful and specialized burners, more precision controls and electronics, more oven racks and rack positions (and perhaps a convection mode for the oven), and lots more heft (as in weight). But even at the lower end of the market, there's value to be had in terms of features and performance. The big names in this segment include GE, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Frigidaire, and Hotpoint, and users of the best of these inexpensive ranges are more than satisfied with the meals produced, the ease of use, and the set of features.
