I chose this Electric range as it was the style I was looking for. Several years ago I added a tile backsplash and had the tile put low behind the old stove I had, knowing that when the time came, this new range was what I wanted. I am very pleased with it. Not only the configuration of the back, with controls on the front, but its overall appearance, the ease of digital operation for the oven, clock and cleaning options. To date, I am very happy with my choice and love to keep the top gleaming.
