The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other kitchen ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, range hoods and microwaves we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

At 5.6 cu ft, the Kenmore 2276843 offers one of the larger oven cavities in the 30-inch gas range class. Three oven racks is also above average for this size, which means more flexibility for multi-rack baking or roasting. The five sealed burners are a practical choice for keeping the cooktop clean, sealed burners contain spills and are easier to wipe down than open-style grates.

The brushed stainless finish is a standard look that blends into most kitchen styles and resists showing fingerprints better than polished alternatives. Knob controls are simple and mechanical, meaning no touchscreen failures or software glitches. At 150 lb for a 30-inch gas range, the build weight is typical.

The concern with this model is the early buyer sentiment. A 3.1-star average across four reviews is low enough to flag, it doesn't necessarily indicate a systemic defect, but buyers should look at current reviews carefully before purchasing. At $1,900, you're paying a significant premium over similarly-specced gas ranges, so the value case depends on Kenmore service availability in your area and confidence in the brand's support network.

Pros

  • Large 5.6 cu ft oven cavity for a 30-inch range
  • Three oven racks included for multi-level cooking
  • Five sealed burners are easy to keep clean
  • Brushed stainless finish resists fingerprints
  • Simple knob controls, no software to worry about

Cons

  • 3.1-star average across 4 reviews is a real concern at this price
  • Priced at $1,900, which is high for a standard 30-inch gas range
  • No smart features or convection noted in specs
  • Small review sample, reliability data is limited

What buyers say

Four buyers have reviewed this model and the average sits at 3.1 stars, which is below average for a range in this class. The small sample size means a single strongly negative review can pull the average down, but at $1,900 that's still a signal buyers should investigate by reading the actual review text before committing.
