Before you hit the stores for a new range, think about what will work in your kitchen, starting with size.
Whether you’re eyeing a built-in or freestanding model, it’s got to fit just right. Standard range dimensions exist, but you can go smaller or bigger depending on your space—accurate measurements keep it from jutting out awkwardly.
We’ve got you covered with details on typical kitchen range sizes, tips to measure like a pro, compact stove specs and reviews of top ranges that’ll slot perfectly into your setup.
Standard Stove Sizes and Dimensions
Standard kitchen ranges typically measure 30 inches in width, 25 to 27 inches in depth, and 35 to 36 inches in height to align with standard countertops.
Gas, electric, and induction ranges generally follow these stove dimensions for a uniform fit in most kitchens. Larger stove sizes, such as 36-inch or 48-inch professional models, provide extra cooking space.
On the other hand, compact stove options have dimensions of 20 to 24 inches in standard stove width, to suit small kitchens.
Depth may increase to 30 inches with handles and knobs. Freestanding and slide-in models maintain similar stove dimensions, though slide-ins require precise counter alignment.
Preventing a Stove That Sticks Out—Proper Measuring Tips
A flush-fitting range starts with smart measuring. Here’s how to nail it:
Know Your Space: Standard cabinets are 24 inches deep, but countertop overhangs vary—measure to confirm. Most ranges run 25–27 inches deep (including handles), so account for protrusion.
Match the Style:
- Freestanding: Finished sides and backguard; may stick out slightly past cabinets.
- Slide-in: Flush with counters; needs precise spacing (usually 30 inches wide).
- Built-in Cooktops: Fit into counters; check base cabinet depth.
Measure Twice: Check width at multiple spots—the standard is 30 inches, but compact (24 inches) or pro models (36–48 inches) differ. Measure counter depth for alignment.
Extra Tips: Leave room for ventilation, door swing, and trim kits if needed.
With the right style and measurements, your stove blends seamlessly—no awkward overhangs.
Compact and Apartment-Size Stove Dimension
Apartment-sized ranges are designed for kitchens where space is limited. These models measure between 20 and 24 inches in width, so they're narrower than the standard range width of 30 inches.
Depth usually falls between 24 and 26 inches to align with countertops, while height remains around 36 inches to match standard counter height.
Compact stoves are ideal for small apartments, studio kitchens, RVs, and tiny homes. They provide full cooking functionality without occupying as much space as a standard stove size.
Many models give you space-saving features such as built-in storage drawers, smaller oven capacities, and slimmer cooktops.

Frequently Asked Questions
The standard width of a kitchen stove is typically 30 inches, which makes it a common size for most kitchens. However, smaller models, such as apartment-sized stoves, may have widths ranging from 20 to 24 inches.
A range should generally be about 25 to 28 inches deep to align with standard countertops, which are typically 25 to 26 inches deep. This ensures the stove fits seamlessly with the kitchen's countertop surface for a clean, cohesive look.
A compact range is around 24 to 30 inches wide and is ideal for smaller kitchens. These sizes help save space without sacrificing functionality, so they're a practical choice for kitchens with limited room.
Gas and electric ranges can have different standard dimensions because of their specific requirements. Gas ranges can have slightly less depth to accommodate venting and gas hookups, while electric ranges tend to be deeper to allow for the necessary heating elements and insulation.
A stove may stick out past the cabinets because the standard range depth is typically 25 to 27 inches, while most wall cabinets are only 24 inches deep. The extra depth from the closed oven door is normal and results in the range protruding slightly beyond the cabinets.
