I have a glass stove top. You can use your regular pots and pans as long as they are flat on the bottom. You cannot use a real abrasive cleaner and they do have recommendations, but I use what I have and it has been fine. You can do anything with this stove top that you can do with the others. I wanted electric and I liked the look of the smooth top.

I just bought a new side by side refrigerator and a glass top stove. Had to buy the smaller refrig to fit in the space that I had and wish it was bigger, not alot of room in either side of it. The stove I like, my husband is a great one for boiling things over and I would always have a mess to clean up a couple of days later cause he wouldn't tell me about his goofs. Now he has to clean the stove as he can't hid his mistakes.

Glass tops are pretty good, much easier to clean. The only one I know of that needs special pans is the "induction cooktops". When we were buying our new stove, the guy at the appliance centre told us the "induction cooktops" do need the special pans and they also use a lot of extra electricity. We ended up with a glass top and are very happy with it.
As for fridges, I had an upside down fridge from Philips....best fridge/freezer combination I have had. Very deep drawers and very efficient. The only reason I don't have it now is that it was a small model....when I remarried I gained an extra 4 people (husband and his three boys) so we needed a bigger one.

I had a glass top stove and sold it with the house. It would NOT pop corn. The burners go off before the corn is done popping. I liked the fridge on the top but not the freezer on the bottom - maybe it was too small.

I bought an electric stove with regular coil burners because I like my cast iron skillets. I was afraid of dropping it one day and breaking that glass top. I specifically asked the salesman and he said yes they will break and cast iron is just the thing to do it. My thing is the ovens never heat evenly.

I have a flat cooktop (glass) and I love it. I also do alot of canning and as long as the canner and pots and pans have a flat bottom, you're good to go. I clean it with a cleaner for glass cooktops and after rinsing it a few times, I dry it with a microfiber cloth and it shines like new every time. I, too was concerned about canning on the flat top stove, and have not had any problems canning with it.

I have the freezer on the bottom and love it, too! Wouldn't have one any other way.
I had a flat top stove and yes, you can can on the new ones. I decided to go with burners again when we moved here. Not sure why, have been kicking myself ever since!!!!! If I had the money, I'd buy a flat top stove.
