I had a 27" GE drop in range. When we bought the house, that was the type in the kitchen. It went out so we bought another just like it to fit. No problem - the old one slid out and the new one slid in. Both of the ranges worked fine and I loved them. This time when the oven quit working, we looked around but there aren't any 27 inch drop ins except GE so we paid the higher price so we wouldn't have to remodel the cabinets. Surprise it didn't fit even though the dimensions were the same. It was just a hair wider so we had to shave off a little on the counters. It was about 2 inches taller so we had to cut out the bottom drawer and move the boards it rested on. It was a lot of work!! The oven is smaller than my old range a couple of my pans don't fit. I wish we had gotten a carpenter and remodeled the cabinets and paid a cheaper price for a 30 inch range.
This purchase was to replace an older "drop in" unit. The unit is good overall, with the exception of smaller oven space. The turkey roaster fit well in the old unit, but now when roasting a 22 lb bird, I have about a 1" clearance from the top heating element. The cost of this unit is on the high side, since the overall unit is smaller than a standard size stove/oven range.
I bought this product because it’s the only stove that fits. I have bought three over the decades. The current one is poorly made. The burners do not sit level . One burner will not turn on the in use light. Overall, definitely not worth the price.
