Good advice from jay. Unless you want to completely redue your cabinets, you
need to find a unit that will fit. So if you have a 27" unit now, look for
that size. The installers can cut a little away to fit, or add trim kits,
but usually the more thy need to do, the more they charge. When we replaced
ours, the new unit was much longer, and we lost one of the drawers under the
unit.

Depending where you live, look for a appliance outlet. Like the ones
contractors go to. They usually have a big show room, and lots of brands.
Once you decide on a model, you can shop price around, but you might be
surprised as what good deals you can get at these places vs. Sears etc.

If you haven't had or worked with a modern oven in awhile, you will be
pleasantly surprised by all of the neat features they have now.
