I bought this range to replace the old 27" drop-in GE one that was there. Even though I purchased the same one, the installer had to cut out one of the "side" supports. I thought that might need to be done. However, what I never thought would happen was the range being 2" taller, so he also had to cut out the drawer underneath the opening. I paid 3x what a stand alone stove would cost, so it would fit in the existing opening. What a waste of money! When I replace the other range (it's a duplex), I will not be purchasing another one of these!
