It is easy drop in if you find one that will fit. There is a 120 volt outlet under the counter for the current stove. I put in a solid counter and had David F build me a craw to put the incuditon burner in and I can just pull it out of the draw and put it on the counter.

I am planning to remove my standard 3 burner burner (after capping off the LP line). We will use an induction cooker that we will keep stored in that location. Glad to hear there is 120 VAC nearby.
 
We plan to just open the cover, cook, let it cool and replace the cover. That area is almost big enough for both of our induction cooktops, but not quite.
 
Any tips from others who have replaced their cooking unit would be highly appreciated.
 
Thanks,

I have used a SAMSUNG 5 burner 50A house range. The cook top does NOT get hot the pans do.
The portable units.. get hot??

I am not sure that a U295 has a 120 volt receptacle under the range as its range does not need the 120 for the range igniter

Dave, we have one of these

Amazon.com: DUXTOP 1800-Watt Portable Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner...

Works on 120v, there may be newer models.  We like it, use it inside and out.  It takes a while to recalibrate cooking on an induction cooktop compared to gas

The problem with the home induction cooktops (built-in) that I've found, is that even the 2-burner ones require 220V.
What I would like is a 2-burner built-in induction cooktop that can be configured to take a dedicated 120V line for each burner.
Haven't found one yet.

Here's a good Wolf 2-burner one that specs 220V.  (need to download the installation guide) 
Haven't called them to see if they can change the power connections for 120V x 2.

basically, I think 115V tops out at 1800 watts - so if you want two burners on 115V you share the available watts - 220 solves that problem -

We're talking about going the other way, sort of. We tried the oven a couple of times and weren't happy with the results. We had an old countertop electric oven (used to also be a bread maker, but that part died) that works. Someone on another forum mentioned that they replaced their stove and oven with an apartment-sized unit. In our case that would cost us the drawer underneath the oven. Since some apartment stoves have such a drawer anyway, that may not be much of a loss.
