Sometimes us car audio guys have to work on our houses too. I know this OLD glass cooktop looks ragedy but remember we have lived here for 20 years. It was new back then. My wife has cooked a lot of stuff on it. I have 2 grown sons who grew up their entire life breaking this thing in. Me as well. Between all of the spills and burnt food, this thing has a lot of miles on it. Actually, it still works fine it's just ugly and due for an upgrade. It's really the last hold-out of all the appliances. We already upgraded all the other kitchen stuff a few years ago.
It's only a 24x30" hole in my counter top so we are limited in what our choices are. But you can bet i got a good one I love my wifes cooking i gotta keep her happy. We chose this GE Induction cooktop http://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-specs/PHP9030SJSS . This one has great reviews and is a really nice unit. I didn't want to spend that much but dammit, if i can buy a pricey amp or subwoofer for my car, i should be able to spend the same on my house. Actually, i found it on Amazon and saved about $400 bucks. I used that money to get the proper pots and pans for this stove top. Being induction, you cannot just use any set. It has to be made of something that a magnet can stick to. If the pan is not magnetic, it won't work.
Anyway, here is the UGLY before (sorry it has a lot of miles haha)...and the after
