What is the difference between a standalone stove and a built-in oven?

A standalone stove (also known as a freestanding cooker) is an all-in-one unit that features a cooktop on top and an oven cavity below, designed to slide seamlessly into a kitchen gap. A built-in oven is installed directly into kitchen cabinetry or an eye-level wall unit, allowing you to pair it with a separate countertop hob for a modern, customized kitchen layout.
