Mine works just fine. Cooks as well as any stove I've had, and
better than most electric coil types. Plus, we have done just
about everything "wrong" that people claim is a problem for
these. We use cast iron cookware, large pots that more
than cover the burners, spill sugary and acidic stuff. None
of it has been a problem. Yes, warped or round bottomed
pans don't work well, but I don't keep warped pans around
anyway, and I have a flat bottomed wok for using on this
stove.

Seriously, I would not have bought a glass top for myself,
but it came with this house. In tens years we haven't been
able to hurt it, and it gets a lot of use. People exagerate
about how touchy and delicate they are. Either that, or there
are big differences in different brands.
