Pros and Cons of Summit's RG201B/RG200WS 20" Wide Gas Range

Pros

• Precise temperature control: Gas burners provide immediate and adjustable heat, making them ideal for tasks that require quick changes in temperature like searing, sautéing, or simmering.
• Quick heat-up time: The cooktop reaches high temperatures rapidly, saving time during cooking tasks such as boiling, frying, or steaming.
• High cooking efficiency: Gas ranges offer strong performance and energy efficiency for a wide variety of cooking needs.
• Operates without electricity: The cooktop remains functional during power outages, though features like the oven light and digital controls may be temporarily unavailable.

Cons

• Inconsistent oven heating: Without a convection fan, gas ovens may produce uneven heat, leading to hot spots and the need to manually adjust rack positions for even baking.
• Limited oven precision: Temperature control in the oven may not be as exact as in electric models, and the dry heat can be less suitable for delicate baked items.
• Basic aesthetics: The design may lack the sleek, modern appearance of premium electric models, and gas ranges can sometimes cost more upfront.
• Ventilation requirements: Because gas cooking releases combustion byproducts, proper ventilation is necessary to ensure safe indoor air quality.

Conclusion

The Summit 20" gas range is a strong option for users who prioritize fast, responsive cooktop performance—especially for high-heat cooking like searing and stir-frying. However, the oven’s lack of even heat distribution and less precise temperature control may be a drawback for frequent bakers. For those focused on baking consistency or multi-rack cooking, an electric or convection model may be more suitable. Ultimately, this range offers solid performance for everyday cooking, with the trade-off being more hands-on oven management.
