Mainly here to rant:

We have an LG electric, Glass top. I hate it. Its a 2009(came with our place). We have the original receipt from the previous owners and it cost them around $3000 when they purchased it new.

I have had to change one range element under the glass and it was a huge PIA. However, this week the bottom element in the oven went. Its conveniently hidden under a metal panel and, according to youtube, I have to pull the whole unit out, take off the back, remove a bunch of electrical and insulation - just to change the fricken bottom element. So dumb. I am pretty handy, so I can do it. It just reminds me that appliances are the biggest scam going.

So to answer the OP, buy something that is cheap and replaceable - or is easy to work on.
