Also, you can't connect more than one portable induction stove on the same 110v outlet as most outlets are limited to 15amps/1800Watts (that's why you see hair dryers, microwaves, ovens limited to 1800Watts). So to hook up 4 stoves, you will need to plug them into four outlets that are all on different circuits (i.e., have separate lines running to the main panel with separate circuit breakers), which will be impossible to find in most kitchens, and pretty inconvenient even if you could.
240v lines in most homes can easily support 50amps, and that's why most high energy electric appliances like electric ranges and ovens, central air conditioners, water heaters, dryers, etc. need 240v.
For someone looking for this specific type of appliance, this could be a very solid deal on a discontinued item. My concern is I see it listed in different spots as both a 30" and 36" cooktop - it appears like it should be a 36", but it's odd to see the discrepancy. I personally own a similar Bosch model of the 36" cooktop, and paid just a bit more than the $2299 price - nearly five years ago, in 2016.
I actually had a Gaggenau gas cooktop in the home before we remodeled. They make some pretty awesome induction products, although very expensive.
Also agree about Lowes. We got lucky and found an open box Samsung 36" induction that was a returned special order. Unfortunately, it was damaged and we decided not to make it work.
