MER5552BAW specifications

The Maytag MER5552BAW is a reliable and efficient freestanding electric range that perfectly balances functionality and style. With a classic white finish, this oven complements virtually any kitchen decor, making it a versatile choice for home cooks.

One of the standout features of the MER5552BAW is its spacious 5.3 cubic feet capacity oven, which provides ample room to prepare family meals and host gatherings.
