Product review (5 stars): The best thing I have done for my kitchen and for my cooking!
OK the black top does show everything, and it is clean for about fifteen minutes after you scrub it. But I started cleaning it with Windex and it took a lot less time. The most important thing to know is this stove is fantastic! I love the variety of burners! You can go from hardly a simmer (sauce or soup) on the smallest burner to Blow torch (stir fry or blacken)  on the largest burner. The oven holds the temp really well and I love the true convection option for browning. All the electronics concern me but they are very intuitive to operate and have worked flawlessly.
