I bought this beautiful range about a month and a 1/2 ago. I was concerned about it not having a backsplash portion but have not found that to be problematic. The trim piece is adequate to keep any particulates off the wall. The oven is bigger than my previous and I have found this helpful as I like to bake bread. The oven heat is extremely even. I am a lover of gas stoves and that option was available This is probably the nicest range I have ever owned. The burners are as advertised. They are powerful if need be and have been good on the SIM or mode is well.
