An electric grill is ideal for households without a garden, for use in the kitchen and for quick meals after work. However, not every model will lead to the right buying decision. Marketing claims such as “particularly powerful”, “low-smoke” or “multifunctional” alone say little about how practical a grill is for everyday use.
A 2000-watt electric grill can heat up quickly, but wattage alone does not determine the quality of the appliance. The heating surfaces, heat distribution, temperature control and size of the grill plate are also important. A poorly insulated appliance with high power consumption may use more energy without transferring heat evenly to the food.
A non-stick coating can reduce food sticking to the surface. However, for cleaning, it is important to check whether the grill plates are removable and dishwasher-safe. With permanently fitted plates, grease often remains in hard-to-reach areas. Metal utensils, abrasive cleaners and scouring pads can also damage the coating.
A contact grill heats food from above and below. This is practical for paninis, sandwiches, steaks and vegetables. A tabletop grill or an opening grill plate, on the other hand, offers more space and is better suited to preparing food together. So check whether the appliance really has a 180-degree opening or a separate tabletop grilling function.
For one or two people, a compact grilling surface is often sufficient. Families and anyone wanting to prepare several portions at the same time should check the dimensions of the grill plate. A surface of around 600 cm², for example, is suitable for several smaller portions, while an appliance measuring around 1250 cm² offers more room for meat, fish, vegetables and sandwiches.
Also look out for:
A grill with temperature control can be adjusted more effectively for delicate fish, vegetables or thick cuts of meat than an appliance with a fixed temperature. Depending on the model, options may include rotary controls, several heat settings, digital thermostats or automatic programmes.
A 2000-watt electric grill is a practical guideline for many households. Models with 2300 or 2400 watts can also heat up quickly, but they will use correspondingly more electricity during longer periods of use. With an appliance featuring separately adjustable heating surfaces, the top and bottom can be controlled independently.
Removable, dishwasher-safe grill plates and a removable drip tray reduce the cleaning required. The appliance body, cable and mains plug must not be immersed in water.
For use in Germany, buyers should check the details for 220–240-volt mains voltage, a suitable plug and the CE marking. The CE marking is a legally required conformity mark, but it is not an independent quality seal. Place the electric grill on a stable, heat-resistant surface and keep it away from curtains, paper and other flammable materials.
Why this product suits this profile: The compact design with 1360 watts and a non-stick coating is aimed at preparing simple meals in smaller households.

Electricity costs depend on the power rating, operating time and your electricity tariff per kilowatt-hour. The simple calculation is:
Power in kilowatts × operating time in hours × electricity price per kilowatt-hour = cost
A 2000-watt electric grill is equivalent to 2 kilowatts. If it runs for 15 minutes, the calculated consumption is 0.5 kilowatt-hours. Actual consumption may be lower because of thermostat pauses.
For a longer service life, proper cleaning, sufficient clearance from the wall and the use of heat-resistant kitchen utensils are important. Only remove the grill plates once they have cooled completely, and unplug the appliance before cleaning.
An indoor electric grill or indoor grill specifically designed for interior use can be used in the kitchen. Ensure adequate ventilation, place the appliance on a heat-resistant surface and follow the manufacturer's instructions. A gas steak grill designed for outdoor use is not suitable for this purpose.
Less than 2000 watts may be sufficient for sandwiches and small portions. If you want to prepare meat, fish and vegetables quickly for several people, you can consider models with around 2000 watts or more. However, the grilling surface and adjustable temperature are just as relevant as the rated power.
No. This feature must be expressly stated in the product details. Even with dishwasher-safe plates, follow the care instructions to prevent non-stick coatings from being unnecessarily exposed to harsh detergents or high temperatures.
