17" Electric Tabletop Griddle (E-Series)

A compact 17-inch, 1500-watt electric tabletop griddle with a non-stick ceramic-titanium plate for indoor or outdoor use.

$199Approx. MSRP

Good for apartment dwellers or indoor/patio cooking without gas; skip it if you want steakhouse-level sear heat or plan to cook outdoors in wind.

Pros

  • No propane needed — works on any standard outlet, usable indoors or on a covered porch
  • Compact enough for apartment balconies or small kitchens
  • Non-stick surface makes cleanup easy
  • Easy on the wallet ($199)
  • Built to last (ceramic-titanium coated cast aluminum griddle plate)

Watch-outs

  • Lower max heat and slower recovery than gas Blackstones, struggles in cold or windy conditions
  • Small cooking surface limits batch size
  • Reported assembly hardware/QC misses on some units
  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles

  • Some units reported missing screws for the cover or handle out of the box, with stripped screw holes
  • Doesn't heat as fast or as hot as owners expect, especially outdoors in wind
  • Some owners report smoking from the control knob area on this size
