Would you ever consider installing these in your kitchen?

I've never used induction before. I would have to try it first.

Kinda cool, but probably more work with cleaning the cooking area - splashes, drips and fat residue. Pots standing on the small "pedestals" couldn't be moved to the side just a bit to stir or reduce the heat for a moment.
So, you would need a steel table top or a "tray" to contain your cooking there.

Would need more: the other night I had 4 pots and pans going at the same time for a pasta dish; water for pasta, sauce, vegetable medley for a side and slow melting butter & garlic for the sourdough bread.

No.

But, induction ranges are nothing new- and much more practical! I find pulling the "range" off the wall a bit ridiculous!

I don’t have an issue with induction technology. I have used it, and it’s fine, although my personal preferences gas.

I don’t like the concept of hanging my stove on the wall though. You still need to have the counterslave to use the burners, and I prefer the stability of a permanent cooktop rather than a small platform. It seems unstable. Plus, I like cooking enough that I frequently use all five burners in my stove, so thisoption doesn’t seem workable.

However, for people who don’t cook much and live with a small galley kitchen, this might be a great option.

Well, I assume that you can buy as many sets you need, not just two... So that shouldn't be an issues. But I agree, the individual burners seem to be not very practical. You can't move your pot on it and cleaning the cooking area must be a PITA.
Could be interesting after some improvement is done.

Sure, but 4 or so burners would take a great deal of wall space for storage, or you could simply leave them on the counter, deferring the purpose of being able to hang them up in the first place.

They seem like a solution searching for a problem.

I have an induction cooktop which I love using. But if I had a gas cooktop, I’d want at least one portable induction burner for boiling water or using a wok.

I have heard of a kitchen that used portable induction burners which were put away in drawers when not in use.

I can imagine using a combination of portable induction burners, an oven, and two or three appliances to accomplish the cooking for two or three residents. I do think that is feasible. But most kitchens come equipped with large appliances. In a tiny house, perhaps portable induction plus counter appliances might be the way to go.

No. I don’t see anything “beautiful” or appealing about that hanging on the wall.
