Beware the ceramic glass top ranges!

Do you have one of those cook stoves with smooth, glass top burners? Do you like it?
I bought one a couple of years ago. It was so shiny and high-tech looking! The first two weeks I worked myself to death trying to keep that thing looking good. I used the cleaner that came with it, I researched other methods, but after that I just gave up. I still cleaned it, of course, but it never looked really good again.
This week I bought a new range, but went back to my coil top burners. It's black and (so far) shiny and I love it.
I have a theory that every person who buys a new glass top stove adores it in the store, but hates it a month later.
Do you have a viewpoint about these appliances?

We have exactly like that and I do not like it as much as I like my coil top burners on a stainless steel oven/stove. I try my best to make sure I do not spill sugar while cooking or while the cooktop is still warm because sugar will destroy the cooktop. I have to wipe it clean every time, sometimes even while I am still cooking just to make sure that the stains do not stick to the point that it will be hard to clean up. I am the type who is clean as you go in the kitchen, I am preparing and cooking and at the same time cleaning up and throwing dishes in the dishwasher.

@1creekgirl Not really a good cook, but I would say a sore cleaner. I am trying to save time as I know the boyfriend will not be cleaning my mess well

We've always have glass top stove .. I know it's not easy to keep immaculately clean like when it was brand new.. but I prefer it than exposed coil ...

You're right, I'd much rather put all that effort into cooking!

I never had a glass top range but I know they are difficult to keep clean & shiny.
