I had an Electrolux cooktop before. It was framed all around and across the cooktop where the controls were. It always looked dirty because crumbs and food always got stuck near the frame and had to be vacuumed out. This GE cooktop is totally flat glass, no frame’ it always looks clean and cooks so well. So glad I changed it out withers Electrolux! GE is the best’ LOVE IT.
