Product review (5 stars): Best stove, ever.
OK, so this serious design flaw that other folks mention appears to be quite common among stoves.  My mother in law has the same issue on her stove (not a kitchen aid) and even (gasp!) spilled something between the glass.  I almost didn't buy it for that reason, but I'm glad I did.  My wife and I have used the stove daily and perhaps because I was aware of the issue -- we've not had any spillage issues.  If I ever do spill something, I expect this will match my butcher block, which is also stained because we use it.  While we've not had any stains on the stove, we have, however, had brilliant baked goods, wonderful soups, risottos and paella, and of course, some damn fine pizza.

To be fair, we were coming from a fully electric stove which could bake relatively well and was also skilled at both burning and undercooking items on the stovetop.  For all its faults, our electric stove could boil water quickly, but not as quickly as this.  Why do I mention the electric stove?  Because it was 220.  When I replaced it with this gas stove, I had to run a gas line but NOT change the outlet.  It just plugged right in, and we get the best of both worlds: an electric oven that heats quickly and evenly and a gas stove with precise control.  Just. Brilliant.

The KitchenAid is not without its flaws.  I don't like the range grates.  They are an unfinished matte black metal which looks great at first but they're not as easy to clean as I'd like.  The middle (5th) burner is not strong enough to be as useful as it could be.  I wish the oven was like an inch deeper to better fit my pizza stone.

All in all, its a great stove and doesnt deserve the low reviews posted here so far.
