Overview
Kenyon's Caribbean B41601 is a two-burner electric cooktop with quick-heating radiant ribbon elements under smooth black glass. It runs on 120 volts, measures 21 by 12 inches with 4.5 inches of depth below the counter, and installs in landscape or portrait orientation.
This is a small-kitchen solution rather than a scaled-down range. The 120V build is the point: studio apartments, garage conversions, boats and short-term rentals rarely have a 240V circuit available, and Kenyon builds this line in Connecticut with push-to-turn knobs, infinite heat control and separate on and hot indicator lights per burner.
- 21" x 12" x 4.5" deep below the counter
- Radiant ribbon elements under black ceramic glass
- Per-burner on lights plus hot surface indicator
- 120, 208 and 240 volt versions in the Kenyon line
Who it's for
Right for landlords, hosts and anyone finishing an efficiency kitchen, kitchenette or wet bar where two burners are enough. Cooks who use 12-inch skillets, canning pots or a wok will find the elements undersized, and it is overkill for someone who just wants a portable plug-in burner.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners describe a clean, modern look that suits a finished kitchenette, with unobtrusive knobs and clear indicator lights, and one notes it ships with specific cleaning instructions and a cleaner for the glass. Installers found it simple: one finished in 30 minutes on an 18-inch cabinet and kept the drawer below usable, and another boiled a full pot of water in roughly eight minutes on 120V. The recurring caveat is element size. A property manager running these in more than 60 hotel rooms says they work well but wishes the burners were larger, and another owner points out both burners run together comfortably only with smaller pots. One unit replaced an identical cooktop whose glass broke during use.
