Most slide in ranges have a storage drawer but this one has a warming drawer. This comes in handy during the holidays. If you are cooking something but need the oven space to cook a turkey, you can put your sweet potatoes and vegetables in the warming drawer. Then when you are ready to serve dinner, all of your food is still warm. If you prefer to have a warming drawer rather than a storage drawer and a probe, the Benchmark is the best option for you.
No matter which brand you choose, you will get a great slide in range. Depending on your wants and needs, there is a perfect range out there for you.
