The Best 48-Inch Ranges for Serious Cooks and Entertainers
We may earn a commission from retailers or dealers when you buy or request a quote through our links. It never changes our picks. How we make money.

The best 48-inch range for most serious cooks is the Wolf 48-inch dual fuel. It has six dual-stacked burners, an infrared griddle, two convection ovens and a list price of about $18,180 to $20,155. If you want a steam oven built into the range, Thermador's Pro Grand 48 is the only pick here that has one. Monogram's 48-inch gives you the most oven space for the lowest list price of the three.
A 48-inch range makes sense when you cook for a crowd, want two ovens without adding wall ovens, or need burners and a griddle at the same time. We also include La Cornue's 43-inch CornuFé 110 as a design alternative. It is not a 48, so read the fit notes. We have not tested these ranges. The picks rely on manufacturer specs, warranties, list prices and what owners and dealers commonly report.
If you are unsure whether a 48 is right for your kitchen, the Kitchen Suite Matcher can help you size the whole suite.

Our picks, in detail
Wolf 48-inch Dual Fuel Range, 6 Burners + Infrared Griddle
Wolf · Range · Dual-fuel
- $18,180-$20,155 MSRP
- 48″ wide
- Dual fuel
- 2-yr full warranty
- Burners: 6
- Max burner output (BTU): 20,000
Wolf's 48-inch dual fuel is the most balanced big range here. Six dual-stacked sealed burners run from 20,000 BTU down to 9,200 BTU on the smallest rated burner. A 15,000 BTU infrared griddle sits alongside them. Below are two ovens totaling 7.8 cubic feet: a 5.1-cubic-foot main oven and a 2.7-cubic-foot second oven. Both use dual VertiCross convection with 10 cooking modes.
That second oven is the quiet hero. It preheats faster for weeknight cooking, and on holidays it lets you roast and bake at different temperatures. Wi-Fi adds remote preheat and diagnostics, and a temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasts.
It suits entertainers, bakers and large families who want one range to do everything. The trade-off is price. At $18,180 to $20,155 depending on knobs, bezels and finish, you pay a premium. You can choose stainless, black or white.
Skip it if you want the most oven space for the money. Monogram gives you more. Skip it too if you want steam cooking in the range itself.
Thermador Pro Grand 48-inch Dual Fuel Range with Steam Oven & Griddle
Thermador · Range · Dual-fuel
- $19,899 MSRP
- 48″ wide
- Dual fuel
- 2-yr full warranty
- Burners: 6
- Max burner output (BTU): 22,000
Thermador's Pro Grand is the only range in this guide with a full-steam secondary oven. Steam keeps reheated food moist and helps with bread, fish and vegetables. Up top are six Star burners rated up to 22,000 BTU with ExtraLow simmer, plus a 12-inch electric non-stick griddle. You also get a multi-point meat probe, SoftClose hinges, telescopic racks, a 2-hour self-clean and Home Connect. It lists for about $19,899.
It suits serious cooks and entertainers who want steam cooking without giving up wall space for a separate steam oven. It is also eligible for Thermador's Gift With Purchase event, which runs January 1 to December 31, 2026. Confirm that your exact model qualifies with your dealer.
The trade-offs are capacity and depth. Thermador lists 3.0 cubic feet of AHAM usable space in the main oven and 0.9 in the steam oven, while retailers quote larger gross figures. It is also commercial depth, so it stands proud of 24-inch cabinets. Skip it if you regularly roast two big birds at once.
Monogram 48-inch Dual-Fuel Professional Range, 6 Burners + Griddle
Monogram · Range · Dual-fuel
- $18,590 MSRP
- 48″ wide
- Dual fuel
- 2-yr full warranty
- Burners: 6
- Max burner output (BTU): 23,000
Monogram's 48-inch dual fuel has the most total oven space here: 8.25 cubic feet, split between a 5.75-cubic-foot "Caterer" oven and a 2.5-cubic-foot second oven. The burners are strong, ranging from 15,000 to 23,000 BTU, and the stainless thermostatic griddle is rated at 18,000 BTU. Reverse-air convection, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Alexa and Google support come through SmartHQ.
At about $18,590 MSRP, it lists below the Wolf and Thermador. It also earns the best value score of the three 48-inch ranges. That makes it the practical pick for big families and frequent hosts who want capacity first.
The trade-offs are subtler. The smallest burner is rated at 15,000 BTU, so check how low it simmers in a showroom. Monogram's styling is also less iconic than Wolf's red knobs or Thermador's star burners. It comes in stainless only.
Skip it if delicate low-heat cooking is a priority, or if you want color.
La Cornue CornuFé 110 Dual Fuel Range
La Cornue · Range · Dual-fuel
- $14,975 MSRP
- 43″ wide
- Dual fuel
- 3-yr full warranty
- Burners: 5
La Cornue's CornuFé 110 is a French range for people who want the stove to be the centerpiece. It comes in Gloss Black, Provence Blue, Pure White and other colors, with polished brass, polished chrome or satin chrome trim. It has five sealed burners, including a 17,500 BTU center burner and a 6,000 BTU simmer burner. Below sit two side-by-side electric convection ovens totaling 4.59 cubic feet. Its listed warranty is 3 years parts and labor, the longest here.
Fit is the big caveat. It is 43 inches wide (110 cm), which is not a standard US opening, so your cabinets must be planned around it. One retailer lists a Couleur Collection version at about $14,975. Standard-color pricing is not verified in our data.
This is a design choice more than a performance one. Its burners and oven space are modest next to the 48-inch ranges, and features are basic, with no Wi-Fi. Skip it if cooking power and capacity matter more to you than looks.
How to choose a 48-inch range
A 48-inch range is a big commitment in cost, ventilation and kitchen layout. Work through these questions before you choose a brand.

Prices are manufacturer or retailer list prices when we last checked; luxury brands set minimum advertised prices, so savings usually come from dealer packages and rebates. Ratings are editorial estimates: see how we rate.
Do you need a 48, or a 36 plus a wall oven?
A 48-inch range puts two ovens and a griddle in one place. A 36-inch range plus a wall oven or steam oven spreads cooking across the kitchen and often adds more total oven space. If your layout allows it, compare our best 36-inch ranges and best wall ovens and steam ovens before you decide.
48-inch dual fuel vs gas
All three 48-inch picks here are dual fuel, with gas burners over electric ovens. That is where the strongest luxury 48-inch options in our database sit. Electric ovens generally hold temperature more steadily for baking. If you want an all-gas 48, ask your dealer about all-gas versions of these lines, and read dual fuel vs gas range to see what changes.
Griddle, steam or more burners
Every 48 here pairs six burners with a griddle, and each griddle works differently. Wolf's is infrared, Thermador's is electric non-stick and Monogram's is a stainless thermostatic plate. Thermador swaps second-oven space for steam. Think about what you cook on a Saturday morning versus a holiday.
Plan ventilation for 48 inches
A 48-inch range needs a hood at least as wide as the range and a blower sized for six high-output burners plus a griddle. Use our range hood CFM guide and see our best range hoods. Many jurisdictions require makeup air for large hoods, so ask your installer early.
Price, promotions and service
List prices for the 48s here run from about $18,180 for the Wolf to about $19,899 for the Thermador. Our Wolf range price guide breaks down Wolf configurations, and every range we cover is on the ranges hub. Advertised prices are controlled, so savings come from packages and dated events such as Thermador's 2026 Gift With Purchase. Timing tips are in the best time to buy luxury appliances.
Whichever you choose, confirm there is an authorized service tech nearby. Then get a quote on the range, hood and refrigeration together.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best 48-inch range?
For most cooks, the Wolf 48-inch dual fuel is the best overall. It has six burners, an infrared griddle and two convection ovens totaling 7.8 cubic feet. Choose Thermador's Pro Grand 48 if you want a steam oven built in. Choose Monogram if you want the most oven space (8.25 cubic feet) for the lowest list price of the three.
How much does a 48-inch luxury range cost?
In this guide, the 48-inch dual fuel ranges list from about $18,180 (Wolf, base configuration) to about $19,899 (Thermador Pro Grand with steam). Monogram's MSRP is about $18,590. Add a hood and blower, installation and possibly makeup air. Savings usually come from dealer packages and dated promotions rather than discounts on the range alone.
Is a 48-inch range worth it?
It is worth it if you cook for groups often, bake and roast at the same time, or want a griddle without losing burners. It is not worth it if you cook for two most nights. A 36-inch range with a separate wall or steam oven may serve you better and spread the work around the kitchen.
What is the best 48-inch gas range?
All of the 48-inch ranges we cover are dual fuel, meaning gas burners over electric ovens. For pure burner power, Monogram's top burners reach 23,000 BTU and Thermador's reach 22,000 BTU. If you want an all-gas oven too, ask your dealer about all-gas versions of these lines and compare oven capacity and broiler type.
Will a La Cornue fit a 48-inch opening?
Not without changes. The CornuFé 110 is 43 inches wide, so a 48-inch opening would leave gaps. Plan the cabinets around the range from the start, or use filler panels your designer approves. It also has less oven space and lower burner output than the 48-inch ranges here, so choose it mainly for its looks.
