The only ones I have been able to locate are slide-in models.

I knew I was misunderstanding something. I will delete my comment! I mixed up slide in and free standing.

No worries. I'm thinking I may have to go with a slide-in and build a little wall or add an end panel, but I'm not quite sure what's required and the specs on Bosch's website were less than helpful. Although I could be looking in the wrong spot, I've done that before, haha.

These all say they are freestanding in the description. They are all well under 5k too. Some gas and some electric- no induction though.
