I had a 5 burner "smooth top" it had a lot of good points!.!.!.!.!.!.!.no food spilt into the burners, no smoke from spilled food and grease, clean up can be good or bad!.!.!.!.!.!.if you clean on a daily basis it is easy, if you let things get "burned on" you are gonna have trouble!. The heat is not as good as gas, but it is as good or better than other elecyric ranges!. also note the liquid cleaners specifically made for them should be used, I combined the "liquid" with Bon Ami (it never scratches glass or ceramics) which helped in removing stubborn stains!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I have one!. It has been an excelent experience!. It is very easy to clean, with some stovetop glass cleaner and a rag!. You can very acurately change the heat by pressing the up or down arrows and wathing the digital display change numbers!. Their is a warming zone on mine also which is very handy!. also one of the burners has a size ajustment for large or small pots!. Finally it is great because you can always tell which burner is on because they glow bright red!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Adjusting heat takes a bit to get used to!.!.!.!.the element has to cool and it is not an instant thing, so to speak!. Once you get used to that!.!.!.it's okay!. Nothing beats a gas stove, though, still wish I could have one!.!.!.no such luck!.!.!.electric only!.
Wipe it down after each use!. Make sure to invest in the specific cleaner for the top and it should maintain well!.
I cook/bake all the time and my stove looks like new because I take the time to clean it and take good care of it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nooooo! They are such a pain in the bum to keep clean!. I live in a house that has one and I count the days until I never have to cook on one again in my life!.
Gas is great like the other person said, but if that isn't an option then must be other options for electric!. Please think about it, I beg of you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They are nice to have, BUT gas is the way you should go!. Although a smooth top with have a pot of water boiling in half the time gas will!. Ive been using one!. But I have no choice, Im in an apartment now!. But at my house I had a choice and I went with the gas oven!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I've had one for almost 15 yrs!. and like it very much!. I'm a sloppy cook and it's easy to keep clean, since it's smooth!. I even plan to get another smooth top one to replace it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
gas is better by far, easier to control etc, but if you have to have electric then it's the best of a bad bunch!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
its pretty good, i like mine!. Now I do prefer gas but for electric its nice!. and as for cleaning I just use my kitchen cleaning spray on it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
