I bought this to replace an old GE "Spacemaker" stove that was also 27" wide. It's the only 27" stove out there so I had no choice other than to modify the cabinets/countertop. Its a decent stove but very expensive for the basic features and looks , you are paying for the unique size. It was easier to install than cutting cabiets and countertops but it did NOT fit in the exact same opening as the old stove. It was close but did require a little cabinet trimming and was a tight fi into the existing opening. Also - it has a very small oven, smaller than the old 27" GE range it replaced. Works fine, as expected for a new electric range.
