Overview
['The Kenyon B70090 is a countertop electric grill made from stainless steel, measuring 21 x 9 x 12 inches and weighing 30 pounds. Its single-burner electric design means no open flame, which makes it usable in places where fire codes or building rules prohibit gas or charcoal.', 'With 155 square inches of cooking area, this is a grill for small batches: a couple of steaks, a few chicken thighs, or a handful of burgers. The stainless steel build looks and feels serious, and the countertop install type means no complex mounting or cutout required.', 'The $1,150 price tag is steep for the cooking area you get, but Kenyon specializes in premium electric grills and that price reflects the build quality and the no-flame use case, not just square inches. Buyers with a genuine need for flame-free grilling tend to accept the cost.']

Frequently asked questions
Can the Kenyon B70090 be used on an apartment balcony?
Electric grills like the B70090 are the go-to choice for balconies and patios that prohibit open flames. Always check your specific building rules, since some properties restrict all outdoor cooking appliances. The countertop form factor keeps it portable and easy to bring inside when not in use.
How many people can this grill feed at once?
The 155 sq in cooking surface is best suited for one to two servings per cook. You can fit two standard ribeyes or three to four burger patties at once. For a group of four or more, plan on cooking in rounds, which adds time.
Does the B70090 require special wiring?
Kenyon does not publish wattage in the listed specs, so the exact electrical requirement is not confirmed here. Check the product page or the manual for amperage draw before connecting. Most countertop electric grills run on standard 120V household circuits, but high-end units sometimes require a dedicated 20-amp outlet.
