You can have both. My mother's induction cooker has a flat top and knobs on the front. It's easy to clean and easy to operate.

I think that was the one model in the universe I was referring to. I don’t have the layout in my kitchen to put knobs in the front, my stovetop has to fit in a pretty well-defined area. Knobs in the front would have been totally ideal.
