Cookers...
The old-style cookers with splashback, still have their controls at the back.
Most slot-in cookers now have waist-level controls.
High-level controls have two problems:
1: The heat from the hob eventually cracks the control knobs (ala Creda from 1975: Mum ordered spare knobs).
2: In an emergency, it is dangerous to get near the controls. (again, the Creda: spiral ring-plate blew up, showering molten metal around the kitchen! Bottom of aluminium pot was pitted.)
The good points are: out of children's reach; and the splash back design allowed a striplight to be incorporated.
