I really like that there is a generous spot in the middle to put a hot pan and yet still be able to cook on all four burners.  Much more practical than a glass top stove top because if one of the burners malfunctions, it is easily replaced very economically. It can also be used for canning which the glass stovetops are not recommended for.
