We did buy this about a mth ago.  First time I’ve ever had the glass flat top   Why anyone would make these with a black top is anyone’s guess.   Since this was the 1st time I’ve had one like this, not so sure I like it anymore.   Quite difficult to keep clean.   The top would be ok if I had chose the appliance with say a grey top.  Probably would have been better.   But I’ll make do with it for now.
