Product review (4 stars): Works well, looks good. An inexpensive solution to the gap between stove and countertop.
I wanted something that covered the narrow gap between my stovetop and the countertop. This Gap Cap did the trick. Although I would have been happy to purchase the product at some local store in my area, I could not find it available. Wal-Mart sells them, but it was not in stock in Nashville.

The length is just right to go from the edge of my counter to the back panel of my range. Although made of aluminum, it has a magnetic strip that clings to the stove top.

When I installed the strip, I had to lower the stove height by about 1/8 inch, so that the strip was at counter level. Also, I discovered that my countertop is not perfectly level from front to back. Because I wanted the gap cap parallel to the countertop from front to back, I adjusted the stove accordingly and now my rangetop is no longer level. This situation is not the fault of the Gap Cap, however.

The Gap Cap offers the protection against spills that I wanted, and it is easily removed for cleaning, such as when a liquid gets spilled on the counter. The Gap Cap does not offer a waterproof seal when it rests on the countertop. This lack of seal is why I knocked a star off my rating. I thought about putting a strip of thin rubber under that edge, but have not acted on this thought, since the strip is so easily removed and replaced.

I looked for alternative products to achieve the desired result, and the Miles Kimball Gap Cap seems to be the best and almost the only solution.

Two photos show what the Gap Cap looks like on my stove/counter. Note that the edge view makes the Gap Cap appear to not fit well. I have almost no gap between my stove and the counter. If I had even a small space, I think the Gap Cap would actually touch the countertop properly, like in the product photos provided in the Amazon description. From the top view, you don't see the edge lifting up, and it has not been a problem for me. Spills are still controlled as I wanted.

I highly recommend
