Kassel
- Just in time for the start of the general grill season, Stiftung Warentest took a close look at electric grills . Both electrical surface grills and electrical contact grills were put to the test.

Stiftung Warentest: Every electric grill had to prove this in the test

The Stiftung Warentest examined the devices for various properties. This time, every electric grill was tested for handling , among other things . This made up 30 percent of the respective overall grade. 

Here, have experts in the devices not only in the Grill practice examined, but also in transport , the cleaning and the Aufba u . The operating instructions were also included in the assessment of Stiftung Warentest .

Stiftung Warentest: Grill result most weighted in the electric grill test

Most of the final grade in the Foundation Warentest- but judgment made the grill - Quality of. Say how good the respective grill goods have become on the corresponding electric grill . This rating was included in the overall rating of the Stiftung Warentest with 45 percent .

The smallest two test units were safety and durability . The durability of an electric grill accounted for 15 percent of the overall grade. Under this point, the experts at Stiftung Warentest also examined how repairable the electric grill was. The issue of security accounted for the missing ten percent of the overall test.

Stiftung Warentest: Twelve electric grill devices competed against each other in the test

A total of  twelve electrical devices were evaluated in the Stiftung Warentest test . Six contact grill variants and six surface grill devices each. With the exception of an electric grill, everyone was given a good rating.

The two winners of the Stiftung Warentest test come from the contact grill category. Third place is shared by a surface grill and a contact grill. The loser in the test is also an electric contact grill .

Stiftung Warentest: Only an electric grill could score with very good durability

The experts at Stiftung Warentest were only able to rate an electric grill with the top grade in terms of sustainability. The most expensive grill in the test, the Weber Q1400 , was priced at over 300 euros and was rated 1.5 in the durability category.

It belongs to the area grill and is the only electric grill in the test that has a grill. Due to its hood and frame, it is also well suited for outdoor use. But he is not the best in the overall ranking.

Stiftung Warentest: Electric grill from Tefal immediately with that from WMF

In the overall rating of the Stiftung Warentest , the Tefal and WMF products were the most convincing with a smooth 2.0 . The electric grill from Tefal (GC3060) was able to score with a better grill result compared to the competitor from WMF ( Lono ).

However, this had a significantly better handling. Both belong to the category contact grill , but both can be opened up to the area grill . Some batches of the WMF grill are currently affected by recalls. More information can be found on the WMF website.

A lot helps a lot.

Stiftung Warentest: That was the worst electric grill

Only a rating with a satisfactory rating was achieved in the test by Stiftung Warentest , the electric grill from Unold (8555). With this contact electric grill , the grill plates bent in the test . The coating also proved to be particularly susceptible to scratching.

The Unold electric grill only achieved a rating of 3.6 in the durability category. No other electric grill achieved the grade sufficiently in one of the categories. In the overall rating, the electric grill from Unold only managed a 2.6 and is thus the only grill in the test that only achieved a satisfactory result in the overall rating.
