I’ve done both and I prefer cleaning the gas range. Those glass tops are never as easy to clean as they claim, and with sealed burners it’s just a matter of mopping it up with towels.
Electric glass tops can be hard to clean at times. I'd still prefer it over gas in general.
Induction glass tops are sooooooo easy to clean. Nothing gets burned on because the heat is in the pan, not in or under the glass top.
Glass tops definitely easier to clean than non-sealed burners, but I always end up with charred rings over the burners that have been polished into the glass and will never come out.
With sealed gas burners I just pour some boiling water on the cooktop, wait for it to cool, mop it up with a towel, and scrub the nasty stuff off with a scrubber.
Inductions are crazy easy to clean, though.
I don’t think you know what I’m talking about. With sealed burners there is no way for anything to get under them. They’re totally water tight, and there’s no way to lift them up to get underneath them.
I have sealed burners in the stove in my house, so I'm sure I know what I'm talking about. The picture at the top of this page is a good example
The burner on the right side is a sealed burner, which is what I'm talking about, and the one on the left is a special kind of unsealed burner, but if you scroll down you'll see the traditional sort of unsealed burner you're thinking of.
