Who would want receptacles face up? You have no idea how many times I have been asked for just that in both residential and commercial over the last 15 years

Maybe you should try it in residential.

It seems to work fine as 99% of them in this area are face up on the floor.

I don't know what you guys do on the west coast that finds it's way into the outlets under a range but I don't see it happening here. [Linked Image]

We all should install equipment in a way we are comfortable with but at the same time we also need to remember that 'our way' is not the only way. [Linked Image]

BTW If I put a range receptacle in the cabinet I bet I would get failed by the inspector. (no real code just a "we don't do that here" rule)

Edit: It just dawned on me that Mark may be thinking a 120 volt 20 amp outlet.

I believe we are talking about the 50 amp 250 volt surface mount range receptacles.
