2.0 (1) Amazon rating$1179.99

Our verdict

The Hamilton Beach HBRD37AMZ is a 25-inch range priced at $1,179.99 with a 3.8 cu ft oven, 5 burners with sealed heating, and stainless steel finish. Its compact 25-inch width fills the gap between apartment-size ranges and full 30-inch models, with enough oven space for practical everyday cooking.

Best for

Apartment dwellers, condo owners, or anyone with a kitchen cutout between 25 and 29 inches who needs more than a basic 20-24 inch range but cannot fit a standard 30-inch model. The 5-burner layout is better than most compact ranges in this width class.

Skip if

Skip if your opening is 30 inches or wider, you can get a larger oven cavity for the same money with a full-size range. Also skip if you need verified performance data; the single review at 2 stars leaves this model unproven.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

The 25-inch width is the HBRD37AMZ's defining feature. Most ranges come in 20, 24, 30, or 36 inches. The 25-inch option addresses a real gap in the market for buyers with non-standard kitchen openings, particularly older apartments, condos with compact kitchens, and retrofitted spaces. At $1,179.99, it is priced fairly for a stainless range in a niche width.

Five burners on a 25-inch surface is denser than average, which means cookware positioning matters more than on a wider range. The sealed heating method keeps spills contained within the burner wells, making cleanup easier, an important practical consideration in a smaller kitchen. The 3.8 cu ft oven is competent for one to three people and handles a standard roasting chicken or a 9x13 baking dish without issue.

The range ships as both freestanding and slide-in compatible, which gives installation flexibility. The 220-volt connection requirement is typical for electric ranges. At 175 pounds, it is heavier than expected for its size, suggesting a solid build. The sole buyer review at 2 stars is too limited to be meaningful, but it is not a positive signal. Buyers should verify specifications, particularly whether fuel type is gas or electric, before purchasing.

Pros

  • 25-inch width fills the gap between compact and full-size ranges
  • 5 burners in a 25-inch frame is above average for the width class
  • Sealed burners keep spills contained for easier cleanup
  • 3.8 cu ft oven handles everyday household cooking
  • Compatible with both freestanding and slide-in installation setups

Cons

  • Only 1 review on record at 2 stars, not enough data to assess reliability
  • Fuel type not specified in available specs, confirm before ordering
  • Denser burner spacing on a 25-inch surface limits large-cookware placement
  • $1,179 is a significant price for a compact range without buyer validation

Performance notes

Five sealed burners across 25 inches means roughly 5 inches of average spacing between burner centers, workable but tighter than a 30-inch range. The 3.8 cu ft oven with 3 included racks is one of the better rack counts in this size class, giving you multi-level baking or the ability to keep dishes warm while others finish. Installation at 29.9 x 25 x 36 inches (D x W x H) fits standard counter and cabinetry height. 220V connection is required. Stainless steel exterior holds up to regular kitchen use and is consistent with the price tier.

What buyers say

With only one review at 2 stars, buyer sentiment cannot be reliably characterized. The sample is too small to indicate either satisfaction or a pattern of problems. Prospective buyers should look for additional feedback sources or reach out to Hamilton Beach directly for product documentation before purchasing.

Frequently asked questions

What fuel type does the Hamilton Beach HBRD37AMZ use?

The fuel type is not clearly specified in the available product data. The sealed heating method and 220-volt connection suggest an electric range, but you should confirm this with the seller before purchasing, particularly if you have a gas line and no 220V outlet in your kitchen.

Why would someone choose a 25-inch range over a 24 or 30-inch model?

A 25-inch range targets kitchen openings that are too wide for a 24-inch range but too narrow for a standard 30-inch model. This situation is common in older apartment kitchens or in condos where the previous owner used a specific size. Rather than doing cabinetry work, a 25-inch range fits the existing opening cleanly.

How many oven racks does the HBRD37AMZ include?

The spec sheet lists 3 oven racks, which is above average for a range in this size class. Three racks give you the option to cook at multiple levels simultaneously or to use different rack positions for different cooking tasks without removing and storing extra racks.
