"glass top electric". Speaking as someone who has had induction, glass top electric and traditional electric, glass top electric is the worst of all worlds.

They are much much slower than induction, slower even than traditional electric and not much easier to clean. They are less energy efficient than traditional electric because there is glass between the element and the pot. The only upside is they are a little bit easier to clean than traditional electric but the glass tends to get damaged by contact with hot fluids over time so they still never look completely clean.

Induction on the other hand is amazing.
