We put in a kenmore induction cooktop two years ago when we renovated. We LOVE it. It has many of the same benefits of gas; immediate response to a touch of the dials and great control of the heat. But it is easy clean (no grates). And it is super fast. For our busy lives I love that I can put on a big pot with 6-8 cups of water and boil within a minute. The efficiency is also impressive, it heats the pot vs creating heat around the pot. You can touch the cooktop while cooking and even put something on top if it without burning. When we cook bacon we cover the cooktop in paper towel, turn it on and let the bacon splatter. When done we just collect the paper towel and it is clean. You can go from full boil to complete stop at the touch of a button. It does take a bit of getting used to. Burned a lot of things at first because you can't believe how fast it can cook. You can slow it down by dropping the temp; need lower temps than usual. You also have to have pots that are made to work with induction, but I needed new pots anyhow. If a magnet sticks it will work. If you buy cheap, loose pots they will vibrate as you cook. If you put anything else metal on the cooktop it will beep at you because it detects the metal and wants to heat it. Look carefully at the placement of the controls and elements. Some have both big elements so close you could not put two big pots side by side. We have the 36" kenmore because to us it had the best layout. I hear, but have not seen, that new ones don't even have elements and you can use the whole surface placing pots anywhere. I would buy that. Good luck making your selection!
