Same here.
My original GE electric cook-top was only 10 years old and the in-counter
mount spacings had changed. I was in search of ANY electric cook-top that
would simply drop right into the countertop. But between then and a couple
years ago, the length of all major brands had increased by about 3/4" --
which then necessitated me re-cutting all the counter tile along the width
of the cook-top. Why couldn't the manufacturers have just come together
with a standard in the very beginning?
I can go on...why is that every time Black & Decker comes out with a new
DustBuster that the wall mounting centers are always different? I have
walls loaded with vacated plastic drywall anchors, that were used in prior
Dust-Buster installations. Grrrr...
