If you go to Little Caesars you gotta get that deep deep dish pizza. Domino's is the blandest thing of the big 3 delivery chains. It's my last choice of pretty much any major chain period.

i saw the whirlpool logo and anticipated a washer or dryer while looking at the above octopizza. i question your stunness
checking 95% out i looked at https://www.homedepot.com/b/Appliances-Ranges/N-5yc1vZc3o9 and 1 out of the 10 example front-facing pics of ranges chosen has the controls behind the burners and that pic is for the category that specifies that type of stove

It's still a terrible design, and a specifically American one, all the electrical stoves I've ever seen have had the controls on the front or to the side.

I'd gladly take that control configuration over my induction range's fiddly touch controls located way too close to hot pans splattering oil over then (the grease also makes them even less responsive).

the kind with the knobs on the front are for rich people. every apartment you will find in the us under $2k/month will have the backboard knob design.

Beef is right on this one it's absolutely by far the most common home range design here. I can literally only think of one home kitchen I've been in that had front knobs and I helped them move the god damned thing in to their place after they got it on scratch and dent

I assume this has to do with gas, which is literally not an option for the majority of people in the US. I have lived in 9 different houses/apartments since I left my parents' place and never had gas.

A lot of people prefer to not have the knobs on the front so a little kid or a dog on its hind legs looking for food or whatever doesn’t turn the stove on by mistake.

Oh god not again, like a world war one soldier I’m about to go over the top into no mans land just for another meal. I scream wildly as I reach over my impossibly hot sauce pan, skin searing off of my arms to the bone. I turn the knob, dinner is served but at what cost.

it'd be a problem if you were using a really strong burner on max with a wok but most home stovetops don't get that high

Sounds like a parenting/dog training issue. OP should get better at those things. :smug:

(just kidding, for these reasons alone it's a superior design. The complaints are pretty spurious because the only reason to use the back burners is if the front ones are already occupied. And as an American I don't need my enormous dunlop belly to accidentally change the heat and burn the house down :patriot:)

you should see youre just arguing against yourself once you take your argument to its natural conclusion of a ridiculous critique of the time-honored 4 burner standard

Brewing beer on my stove I wouldn’t mind if it was 3 burners with one really big one. It gets 6 gallons to a rolling boil but it could be faster.

Yes, enjoy your despicable back knobs like a bunch of animals, swinging your ungainly arms wildly to reach them without grace, without reason, without purpose.

Meanwhile I'm going to change the temperature on my burner with a mere elegant, understated flick of the wrist, like a well oiled machine built to satisfy the demands of both efficiency and good taste without embarrassing myself with unnecessary displays of primitive spirit.
