It's all I've had for years. Here is my synopsis:
1. They don't chip easily, though they CAN chip. IF that happens, they can be repaired.
2. They don't stain easily, though I keep my house very clean and scour them with liquid cleanser every week.
3. They are much easier to keep looking nice b/c they don't have that old fashioned chrome ring that gets gunky.
4. They are warmer than tile or laminate so nicer to use on a cold morning.
I see it like a smooth glass cook-top on your stove - once you have one, you will never go back to the other kind. Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions.
