The Best LG Ranges With Air Fryer: Our Top Picks for Every Kitchen

Here are the five ranges we recommend, ranked. Every one has Air Fry, and prices below come from LG's own listings and move with sales.

The table lines up the five picks by fuel, capacity, burners, tray and smart features. Capacity is the same on all five, so fuel type and price decide most of it.

Prices are LG's listed figures at the time of writing and shift with promotions. The induction and dual fuel models swing the most.

We rate a range on the things that matter after the delivery truck leaves. The first is how well Air Fry crisps food without a countertop gadget. The second is how easy the oven and cooktop are to clean. We also consider how easy the controls are to read and use, and the total price with any necessary accessories.

Here is what we weigh. The price you pay at checkout counts, including the air fry tray when it is sold separately. A range loses points when a flaw shows up in daily use, whatever the spec sheet promises. Repairability counts too: we ask which parts fail first and whether a range can be fixed rather than replaced, so control boards, bake elements and the finish on printed markings all get a hard look.

Five ranges made the cut. We start with the one that gives the most for the money.

Key Specs

Pros and Cons

The trade is simple. You give up the glass window and the slide-in look, and you gain roughly $1,000 or more against the other four. The tray question is the one to settle before you order, because a separate tray runs about $59.99 on models that do not include one.

Who Should Buy This

Buy it if you want a gas range with Air Fry and a firm budget. It fits a standard 30 in slot and a freestanding layout with a back guard. It is a poor fit if you want the built-in look of a slide-in.

Key Specs

Pros and Cons

The upside is a nicer range with fewer extras to buy. The downside is that the price gap is large, and retailers list it anywhere from about $2,099 to $2,399. Some buyers will also find the unlit display a daily annoyance.

Who Should Buy This

Choose it if you are remodeling around a slide-in and want gas. The basket in the box means no hidden accessory cost. It is not the pick if you are shopping on price alone.

Key Specs

Pros and Cons

The benefit is a clean glass top that wipes quickly, since the flush glass-to-steel edge leaves no gap for grime. The cost is worn knob markings and dense control text. Neither stops you cooking, but both grate over the years. Pick it if your kitchen is electric-only and you want a slide-in with Air Fry, or if you want the triple element for large pans. Cooks who love fast heat should look at induction instead.

Pros and Cons

You gain fast, precise heat and a cooler cooktop. You lose any pot that a magnet will not stick to. The big gap between list and sale price means timing matters more here than on any other pick.

Who Should Buy This

It is for cooks ready to move off gas or radiant electric. Check your cookware first. If a magnet clings to the base of your pans, you are set. If you are paying list price, the dual fuel model below is a better use of the money.

Key Specs

Pros and Cons

The win is gas control on the cooktop and an even electric oven. The cost is two utility hookups and a price that depends on LG sales. The top burner is listed at 20K BTU by LG, though third-party spec data quotes 22,000 BTU.

Who Should Buy This

Buy it if you bake often and cook on gas. It also suits a slide-in kitchen where you already have both a gas line and a 240V circuit. Skip it if your home has only one of the two.

LG Air Fry is a setting in the oven, not a second appliance. The convection fan pushes hot air around the cavity, and the default temperature is 400F. LG says the mode needs no preheat. For best results you spread food in a single layer on LG's wire air fry tray.

If you want the science behind it, our guide to air fryer vs. convection oven explains why a fan and a high temperature make food crisp.

Does LG air fry match a countertop air fryer?

Not quite. A 30 in oven cavity is huge for air fry, so airflow is gentler than in a compact countertop basket. Crispness is good, and some cooks find results a bit less crisp than a dedicated unit.

Air frying can leave grease on the oven floor if you do not place a drip pan beneath the basket. The basket may also be smaller than the oven rack. We still reach for the range on large batches, since frozen fries and stuffed vegetables came out great.

Gas vs electric vs induction vs dual fuel for air fry

The oven mode is the same across fuel types, so Air Fry itself does not change much. What changes is the cooktop and the oven heat source. Gas gives you flame control and the hottest burner. Electric radiant is simple and wipes clean. Induction heats fastest and holds temperature closely. Dual fuel pairs a gas cooktop with an electric oven, so you get both strengths.

LG, Samsung and GE all sell ranges with an air fry mode, and the feature works the same way in each: a convection fan and a tray. The real differences are in price, controls and which models include the tray.

We cover those brands one by one. If you are comparing, start with our best GE range with air fryer roundup and our look at Samsung ranges with air fryer. LG's edge is the spread of fuel types with InstaView and ThinQ across the line. Its weak spots are the slow oven preheat and the small-print controls we noted above.

Start with the fuel you can actually connect, then work down to size and budget.

Fuel Type

Match the range to your hookups first. Gas needs a gas line. Electric and induction need a 240V circuit. Dual fuel needs both. Have a licensed installer confirm what your wall provides before you shop.

The best air fry range is the one that fits your hookups, since every LG model runs the same oven mode.

Freestanding vs Slide-In

Freestanding ranges such as the LRGN6323Y have a back guard and cost less. Slide-ins sit flush with the counters and show off the cooktop controls on the front. If you are replacing an old slide-in, a filler kit like the LSFL301S for the dual fuel model can close gaps.

Capacity and Burners

All five picks offer 6.3 cu. ft., enough for a full sheet pan and a roast. The gas models bring five sealed burners and a 20K BTU burner for fast boils. The induction model offers a 4.3kW element. The 5.8 cu. ft. LRGL5823S saves money on gas, but the tray is sold separately.

Smart Features (InstaView, ThinQ)

ThinQ is on all five picks. InstaView, the knock-to-light window, is on the four slide-ins and not on the LRGN6323Y. We think InstaView is nice but not necessary. A lit display matters more to us, and none of these has a backlight.

Price and Budget Options

Budget buyers have two extras beyond our five. The LREL6323S is a 6.3 cu. ft. freestanding electric range at about $899, with the air fry tray sold separately. The LRGL5823S is a 5.8 cu. ft. gas range at about $999 with the same tray caveat. Add about $59.99 for the tray, and the savings narrow. The LSDS6338F is the Studio dual fuel step-up, with a 22K BTU dual burner.

LG's 10-minute EasyClean covers light messes, and a full self clean handles the rest. The flush glass-to-steel cooktop edge leaves no gap for grime, so wiping the top is quick. Air fry is the messy part. The tray washes up easily, but grease falls to the oven floor without a drip pan.

We also consider whether common faults can be repaired. Reported failures include a lower bake element that stops heating and a failed control board that leaves the oven unusable after about three to four years. Both faults can be addressed by replacing the affected part.

The most common mistake is buying on fuel type before checking your hookups. A dual fuel range in a home with no gas line is a return. The second is ignoring the tray cost, since it is a separate purchase on several models.

The third is assuming a range replaces every countertop job. It does the large batches well, though a compact basket still wins for a single serving.

The LRGN6323Y stays our top pick, so the question here is what to buy if your situation differs. For the tightest budget, the $899 LREL6323S is the cheapest way into LG Air Fry, once you add the tray. For a premium kitchen, the dual fuel LSDL6336F gives the best mix of gas and electric. If the induction LSIL6336F is on sale near $1,849, it becomes the best-value upgrade.
