About RangePick
An independent, spec-based guide to induction ranges, electric ranges and cooktops.
RangePick is published by Informative Buy, a small independent business run by Gerardo Galicia in Venice, California. We built it because electric cooking appliances are still sold on brochure features and oven-capacity claims, while the consistently published certified figures — official cooking-zone counts, official zone wattage, official voltage and amperage, and official cooktop low-power-mode energy — sit on the ENERGY STAR certified record. Here, every product is compared on those official published fields, scored with a formula printed on the page, and linked back to its sources.
Today the site covers 3 categories, 153 products and 30 head-to-head comparisons, from induction ranges to radiant and coil electric ranges and built-in cooktops.
How we research
- Official ENERGY STAR records first. Scored specs come from the ENERGY STAR certified residential electric cooking products dataset. Each product links the product-finder search and the public dataset we used.
- No guessing. If a figure isn't published, we show "Not listed" and score it at the lowest published value in the category, never as average. Oven cavity capacity is not in this certified dataset, so we leave it as Not listed rather than copying a retailer listing.
- Derived figures are labelled. Total cooking-zone wattage is the sum of official zone wattages and is labelled computed. It is not a measured whole-appliance power draw.
- A transparent formula. Weights and scales are on every comparison and on our How we rank page.
- Honest about limits. Our comparisons are research-based. We don't claim hands-on lab testing, and we don't publish made-up reviews, ratings or prices. When an official record contains an obvious unit error, we note it and do not treat the figure as fact.
How we make money
