Why are slide in ranges more expensive than freestanding.
Slide in ranges are more expensive than freestanding because of the custom built in look the design provides.
A slide in range costs less than a drop in model.
The sleeker look often appeals to those on a bigger budget which means that slide in ranges are to an extent priced higher by those who are willing to pay extra for a nicer finish.
Another advantage of the slide in range is that the top of the range is wider overlapping the countertop so it does not leave space between the range and the countertop.
