The best 2200W electric BBQs, compared.
Top pick: FIMEI HY-6510 – Highest score at 90: 4.8 from 61 ratings, agreeing 1,800 W, and a named plate and drip tray at about £49.99. Not a lab cook. Best value: Luqixcey J-ElectricBBQ-01 – Best value as the lowest shelf price at about £29.99 that still scores at least 50. UK reviews describe melted feet. Updated 22.10.2026.
A 2200W electric BBQ is a plug-in grill around 1,500 to 2,300 W, not one model. UK shoppers use the phrase for an open table plate, a standing grill, a contact grill that opens flat, a hot-pot ring, or a lidded cooker. It is not a charcoal or gas barbecue. The figure is the current draw, about 9.6 A at 230 V for 2,200 W. It is not a sear temperature, and it does not mean the kitchen is allowed. Tell a suitable unit apart by the meal, the use line, and the electrical data. You want 230 V and a BS 1363 plug with a BS 1362 fuse. Reject a 110 V field. If two wattages are printed, the plate on the unit is the figure that counts. A tray should keep fat off the element, and the plate should come off to wash. A smokeless line is not an indoor certificate. Do not share the socket with a kettle. Those checks are in the [2200W electric BBQ buying guide](/hub/grills-and-barbecues/2200w-electric-bbq/sub/2200w-electric-bbq-buying-guide).

Question 1 of 2
What meal is this for?
The FIMEI HY-6510 is about £49.99 with 4.8 from 61 amazon.co.uk ratings, and the written sample is marked United Kingdom. The listing is a 1,800 W tabletop plate, 3.15 kg, 31 × 45 × 6 cm, with a 25.5 × 35.5 cm surface. Five settings are stated, and the bullet says 150–250°C plus 200 ml of water in the tray. The plate is named as dishwasher-safe. UK reviews often say it heats quickly, drains fat, and cleans easily, including in a caravan. One UK review reports a lot of indoor smoke. Another says the cable was missing and was replaced, and one says the lead is about 60 cm. It is the top pick here because the heat line is consistent, the tray and plate are named, and the UK sample is mostly positive. It is still a plug-in plate, and one UK cook needed a fan to keep smoke off the alarm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a tabletop plate with a named drip tray, a removable plate, and a larger UK review sample than the about £30 grills.
Less suitable: You need a printed voltage, or you want a contact grill or a hot-pot ring rather than an open plate.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing include a plate you can remove?
Yes. The included list names a dishwasher-safe plate and a drip tray.
How many heat settings does the listing state?
Five. The bullet gives a range of 150–250°C.
What wattage is printed?
1,800 W. No second wattage fights that figure.
The Philips HD6301/90 is about £64.00 with 4.6 from 159 amazon.co.uk ratings, and the written sample is marked United Kingdom. It is a 2,200 W contact grill, voltage field 220, weight 2 kg, 37.5 × 17.7 × 35.4 cm, black stainless steel. The bullet says it opens flat, the plates come off, and a grease tray is included. The settings field says 1, which fights the adjustable-temperature title. UK reviews often prefer the removable plates and the heat dial to a fixed-plate grill, and several compare it with a George Foreman. Some UK reviews say the plates are not dishwasher safe and that food sticks. One calls it chunky, one wants a longer cable, and one says two toasted sandwiches is the practical load. There is no indoor or outdoor field. It is a contact grill, not a garden barbecue.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 2,200 W contact grill that opens flat and you will wash the plates by hand unless your own manual says otherwise.
Less suitable: You want an open garden plate, a water tray, or a hot-pot ring.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this open flat?
The bullet says it opens 180 degrees so both plates can be used.
How many settings does the listing print?
The settings field says 1. The title says adjustable temperature. UK reviews describe a dial with more than one heat.
Are the plates dishwasher safe?
The specification list does not say. UK reviews disagree: some put the plates in the dishwasher, others say they are not dishwasher safe.
The CUSIMAX GR-200A is about £107.97 with 4.5 from 36 amazon.co.uk ratings, and the written sample is marked United Kingdom. It is a 1,500 W indoor grill and griddle, 6.85 kg, 50 × 30 × 13 cm, with a grill plate, a griddle plate, a drip tray, a lid, and a heat reflector. The bullet claims a hidden fan cuts smoke by 95%. That number is seller copy. UK reviews often say Korean barbecue and a full English made little smoke and that the plates come off to clean. One UK review says the lid-handle holes do not match the glass. Another says it is slow for steak. One says the fan blades do not come out. A review quotes about £141.97 with a voucher. The shelf price in the file is about £107.97. Voltage is not printed.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want an indoor grill and a flat griddle in one unit and you will check the lid handle before the first cook.
Less suitable: You need a printed voltage, or you want a 2,200 W plate rather than a 1,500 W fan grill.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this listing indoor or outdoor?
Both the recommended-uses line and the indoor-outdoor line say indoor.
What plates are in the box?
A grill plate and a griddle plate, plus a drip tray, a lid, and a silver heat reflector.
Does the listing prove a 95% smoke cut?
No. That figure is in a bullet about a hidden fan. It is not a measured result in the file.
The Food Party FPJ201 is about £85.49 with 4.4 from 2,833 amazon.co.uk ratings, and the first 50 texts are marked United Kingdom. It is an indoor hot pot with a grill and a split broth. The title and the heating-power line say 220 V and 2,200 W. The voltage field says 110 and the wattage field says 1,700 W. Weight is 3.86 kg. Dimension lines are 50 × 47 × 18 cm and 10 × 42 × 10 cm. The area field says 9 cm² against a bullet width of 9 cm. The box lists a brush, tongs, parchment, a menu, and a manual. UK reviews often like the shared meal and the accessories. UK complaints include a dead adapter or a missing power cord, a bowl that does not lift out, coating that peeled, rust in the inner pot, arrival damage, and one review that calls it a fire hazard.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want this hot-pot shape and you will read the rating plate for volts and watts before you rely on the title.
Less suitable: You need the title’s 2,200 W and 220 V to be the only figures on the listing. They are not.
Specifications
Common questions
Which wattage should you believe?
The listing prints both. Heating power and the title say 2,200 W. The wattage field says 1,700 W. Read the plate on the unit.
Which voltage is printed?
The voltage field says 110. The title and the bullet say 220 V. Those lines conflict.
What is in the box?
A silicone brush, cooking tongs, 10 sheets of parchment, a menu, and a user manual.
The Tefal BG90C814 is about £57.10 with 4.3 from 747 amazon.co.uk ratings. The heating-power and wattage fields both say 2,300 W, and the voltage field says 230 V. Weight is 2.1 kg. One dimension line is 42 × 53.5 × 17 cm and another is 46.6 × 34.9 × 10.6 cm. The cooking-area field is 1,621.94 cm², which matches the second pair. The included list names a grill plate and a drip tray. Recommended uses say outdoor. The bullet claims up to two times less smoke with a water tray. Power levels are 1. None of the first 50 written texts is marked United Kingdom. Those texts often praise speed and cleaning, and they also say the heat cannot be turned down, that the water tray is galvanised, and that water goes quickly. A Spanish review gives the grate as 38 × 25 cm. A French review says the hot element should not touch the water.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 230 V table grill with a named drip tray and you accept a single heat setting.
Less suitable: You need UK-written reviews in the sample, or a dial with several temperatures.
Specifications
Common questions
What voltage and wattage are printed?
230 V and 2,300 W. The heating-power and wattage fields match.
Does the listing say indoor?
Recommended uses say outdoor. The bullets claim up to two times less smoke with a water tray. The file asks about indoor use and prints no answer.
Can you turn the heat down?
The power-levels field says 1, and the bullet says an on/off button. Non-UK reviews say there is no power adjustment.
The Severin 8568 is about £116.23 with 4.2 from 302 amazon.co.uk ratings. Voltage is 230 V and both power fields say 2,200 W. The bullet gives a 44.5 × 26 cm plate, 5.74 kg, and a 140 cm cable. The area field is 1,163 cm². Dimension lines are 15 × 20.5 × 6.7 cm and 38 × 52 × 17 cm. Use fields say indoor. The feature string says indoor and outdoor, including a typo. The included-components line is only the letter x. Three power levels are stated. None of the first 50 texts is marked United Kingdom. Those texts often say it heats quickly and cleans easily. A Spanish review says the water tray holed after three uses. A German review says the aluminium tray leaked after the grill sat under a cover on a balcony. A French review says it trips the breaker.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a standing 230 V plate and you will treat the indoor line as the use field, then read the manual.
Less suitable: You need a named drip tray on the included list, or UK-written reviews in the sample.
Specifications
Common questions
What voltage is printed?
230 V, with 2,200 W on both the heating-power and wattage fields.
Is the listing indoor?
Recommended uses and the indoor-outdoor line say indoor. The special-features string also says indoor and outdoor.
How long is the cable?
The bullet says 140 cm. An Italian review still calls the lead short.
The Mihoho LXL12814 is the black plate at about £37.99 with 4.0 from 41 amazon.co.uk ratings. Wattage is 2,000 W. Weight is 1.9 kg. Both dimension lines say 48 × 35 × 10 cm. The bullet says about 48 × 34 × 10 cm, six settings up to 650°F, and a water tray that must be filled. Recommended uses say indoor and outdoor. Assembly required is no. The included list is only instructions. Voltage is not printed. UK reviews call it light and easy to clean, and one says there was no smoke in the kitchen. Other UK reviews say it died after one use, short-circuited on the next use, caught fire when oil hit the element, got a hot cable, burnt a worktop, or arrived broken. The written paragraphs largely match the red Mihoho B0FWZ5S3TR, which shows the same 4.0 from 41.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already know this plate and you only want the black colour at about £37.99, after you read the fire comments.
Less suitable: You want a first grill. The same star line and the same complaints sit on the red Mihoho, and UK texts include a fire.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing say to add water?
Yes. The bullet says to fill the stainless steel tray with water before use.
Where does the listing say you can use it?
Recommended uses say indoor and outdoor.
Is assembly required?
The field says no.
The Mihoho LXL5216 is the red plate at about £37.99 with 4.0 from 41 amazon.co.uk ratings. Heating power is 2 kW and wattage is 2,000 W. Weight is 1.5 kg, lighter than the black model’s 1.9 kg. Dimensions match the black listing at 48 × 35 × 10 cm. Recommended uses say indoor and outdoor. The bullet requires a water-filled tray and lists six temperatures up to 650°F. The burner-count field says 6, which is not explained. Warranty is 3 months. The written reviews largely repeat the black file, including praise for a light clean and complaints about fire, a hot cable, a burnt worktop, and a unit that died. Treat the two colour listings as one review pool unless you can see separate UK photos.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the red shell of this 2,000 W plate and you have already read the shared complaint texts.
Less suitable: You want a separate review history from the black Mihoho. This file does not give you one.
Specifications
Common questions
How many burners does the field list?
Six main burners and six heating elements. The bullet’s six settings use the same number. The listing does not describe six separate burners.
Is this the same star line as the black Mihoho?
Yes. Both show 4.0 from 41, and the written paragraphs largely match.
What warranty is printed?
A 3-month warranty period.
The Food Party FPJ202 is about £99.99 with 3.9 from 122 amazon.co.uk ratings. The title and the power fields say 220 V and 2,200 W. There is no separate voltage field. It is an indoor hot pot with a grill ring, a split broth, and separate switches. The bullet says 2.5 L and a removable plate. Weight is 6.04 kg. Dimension lines are 10 × 30 × 10 cm and 42 × 42 × 13 cm. The area field says 9 cm² while the bullet says a ring up to 9 cm wide. Included items are tongs and a manual. UK reviews praise the split broth and the removable top. UK complaints include a grill ring that died on the second use, a power connection that melted after about two months, scratches, and a plate that does not sit flush. Fourteen of the first 50 texts are marked United Kingdom.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the detachable Food Party ring for two broths indoors and you will stop if the plug or the inlet discolours.
Less suitable: You want an open plate. A UK review describes a burnt power connection after two months.
Specifications
Common questions
Can the listing cook two broths?
Yes. The bullets say a dual-sided pot so two broths can cook at once.
Does the plate come off?
Yes. Removable plate is in the special-features line and in the bullets.
What is the cooking area?
The field says 9 cm². The bullet says the grill ring is up to 9 cm wide. Those are not the same measure.
The Volteq listing is about £249.99 with 3.8 from 4 amazon.co.uk ratings and three written UK reviews. The brand field says EliteFyre. Weight is 18.9 kg and both dimension lines say 57 × 42 × 34 cm. The area field is 1,700 cm² and the bullet grate is 53.8 × 32 cm. Modes in the bullet are grill, smoke, bake, braise, sear, and barbecue. A meat probe, drip tray, grate, manual, and wood-chip box are included. Wood chips are not. Wattage and voltage are not printed. Recommended uses say indoor. The indoor-outdoor line says outdoor. Smoker mode is outdoor only in the bullet. The highlight says 343°C. UK reviews like the temperature display, the probe, and the lid, and they complain about a long clean, a shallow tray, and lengthy instructions. One says it is not too heavy for a camping table, against a stated 18.9 kg.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a lidded electric cooker with a probe and you will confirm watts on the plate, and keep smoker mode outside.
Less suitable: You want a known 2,200 W figure, or a light table plate. This listing prints neither a wattage nor a light weight.
Specifications
Common questions
What wattage is printed?
None. The saved listing asks for the wattage and does not print an answer.
Can the smoker run indoors?
The bullet says smoker mode is outdoor use only. The recommended-uses line says indoor and the other use line says outdoor.
What brand is on the listing?
The title says Volteq. The brand field says EliteFyre.
The Luqixcey J-ElectricBBQ-01 is about £29.99 with 3.6 from 40 amazon.co.uk ratings. Heating power is 2 kW and wattage is 2,000 W. Six settings are stated, and the bullet says up to 650°F / 350°C. Weight is 1.65 kg. Dimensions are 48 × 6.5 × 32 cm. Recommended uses say indoor. The bullets also say the garden and camping. The title names a detachable grid and an oil drip tray. The included line says electric grill. The manufacturer part number YZ-06 is the same string as on the Gobanwei. UK reviews describe feet and handles that melted, a burning-plastic smell, fat on the element that can flame, a grill that stopped after two months, and one that arrived with a broken handle. One UK review says it works if you remove a plastic film and put water in the tray. It is the best value here only as the lowest price that still clears the score floor. It is a weak buy if the feet matter.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest row that still scores 50 or above, and you will watch the feet on the first cook.
Less suitable: You want a grill that UK reviews do not describe as melting. The FIMEI is the stronger plate if the budget can move to about £49.99.
Specifications
Common questions
What is the shelf price?
about £29.99, the lowest price in this comparison.
Where does the listing say to use it?
Recommended uses say indoor. The bullets also say garden barbecues and camping.
What do UK reviews say about the feet?
More than one UK review says the feet and a handle melted, one of them within minutes, with a burning-plastic smell.
The Gobanwei YZ-06 is about £39.98 with 3.4 from 5 amazon.co.uk ratings and four written UK reviews. Voltage is 220 V AC. Heating power is 2 kW and wattage is 2,000 W, while one bullet says 1,800 W. Weight is 2.24 kg and dimensions are 29 × 48 × 8.5 cm. Recommended uses say indoor. The bullets also say a balcony, a garden, and camping. A warning says the water tray is essential. The title names a removable stand and a drip tray. The included line is a user manual. Warranty is N/a. The part number YZ-06 also appears on the Luqixcey. One UK review likes the chicken. Another says the controls stick and the element touches skewers. Another says it heats from the bottom and the house could have caught fire. The score stays under 50, so it is not the best-value row.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are comparing part number YZ-06 with the Luqixcey and you will not buy on the 2,000 W title alone.
Less suitable: You want a score of 50 or a larger UK sample. This row has neither.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing require water?
Yes. A warning bullet says never use it without water in the stainless steel tray.
Which power figure is printed?
Heating power 2 kW and wattage 2,000 W. Another bullet says it delivers 1,800 W.
How many written reviews are in the file?
Four, all marked United Kingdom, against a star line of 3.4 from 5.
Twelve amazon.co.uk listings were scored from 0 to 100 on the 19 October 2026 shelf lines. Stars contribute up to 45, review volume up to 20, listing readiness up to 22, and review sentiment up to 13. A written sample that is not marked United Kingdom deducts 6. Each buying conflict on volts, watts, area, dimensions, a burner count that only repeats the heat settings, or indoor against outdoor deducts 5, capped at 10. The top pick is the highest score. Best value is the lowest shelf price on a different listing that still scores at least 50. This is not a laboratory cook, and a star line is not a BS EN IEC 60335-2-9 result.
Stars
45%Up to 45 points from the amazon.co.uk star line: round(stars divided by 5, times 45). A 4.8 becomes 43, a 4.6 becomes 41, a 4.4 becomes 40, a 4.3 becomes 39, a 4.2 becomes 38, a 4.0 becomes 36, a 3.9 becomes 35, a 3.8 becomes 34, a 3.6 becomes 32 and a 3.4 becomes 31. The star line is the listing figure, not a lab score.
Review volume
20%Up to 20 points from the amazon.co.uk review count. 1 to 9 reviews add 4. 10 to 49 add 8. 50 to 99 add 12. 100 to 199 add 16. 200 or more add 20. A larger sample adds more until the cap. It is still opinion, not a timed cook.
Listing readiness
22%Up to 22 points from the listing itself. Heat fields that agree, with no 110 V set against 220 V, add 8. One clear use line, without an indoor field fighting outdoor copy, adds 4. A removable plate or a named drip or water tray adds 6. A cooking area that is stated and is not an impossible figure adds 4.
Review sentiment
13%Up to 13 points from written reviews, UK texts first. Mostly positive UK comments add 13. A mixed sample adds 8. Recurring faults such as melting, fire, or a dead element add 4. If the written sample is not marked United Kingdom, sentiment is taken from that sample and the non-UK deduction applies separately.
Choose the meal and the use line before the wattage. A plug-in grill around 1,500 to 2,300 W can be an open plate, a contact grill, a hot-pot ring, or a lidded cooker. On the 19 October 2026 snapshot the twelve shelf prices run from about £29.99 to about £249.99. A high star line does not repair a 110 V field or two wattages on the same listing. These scores are not a lab cook.
A 2200W electric BBQ, as UK shoppers search for it, is a plug-in grill around 1,500 to 2,300 W. It is not one model. The shapes in this class are an open table plate, a standing grill, a contact grill that opens flat, a hot-pot ring, an indoor grill and griddle, and a lidded cooker. A 2,200 W press does not become a garden barbecue. Watts are the current draw, about 9.6 A at 230 V for 2,200 W. They are not a sear temperature, and they are not proof that indoor use is allowed.
2,200 W is the current draw, about 9.6 A at 230 V. It is not a sear temperature and it does not make a contact grill into a garden barbecue. If another field prints 1,700 W or 1,800 W, both figures are on the listing. Read the plate on the unit.
A 95 percent smoke line is seller copy. It is not a measured result. Listings that name a water tray still tell you to fill it. Foil over the element is a separate mistake. Fat on a bare element shows up in UK reviews as flame.
UK reviews in this set describe melted feet, a melted power connection, a hot cable, and a fire comment. Stop. Do not open the body or bridge a fuse. If anyone may have carbon monoxide poisoning from a fuel-burning barbecue used indoors, leave and follow the NHS route.
Type is the first fork. An open table or standing plate, a contact grill that opens flat, a hot-pot ring, and a lidded cooker are different meals. A 2,200 W press does not become a garden barbecue. The use line is the second fork: indoor household, outdoor only, or a listing that says both. Follow the manual. Smokeless is not an indoor certificate. Voltage and the plug are the third fork. You want 230 V and a BS 1363 plug with a BS 1362 fuse. Reject a 110 V field.
You want a water tray or a drip tray, a plate that comes off, and no foil over the element. Non-stick needs non-metal tools unless the manual says otherwise. Do not share the socket with a kettle or another kilowatt heater. Unplug if the plug scorches. Prefer a larger amazon.co.uk review count over a tiny sample, and still treat stars as opinion. Price comes after those checks. A plate near £30 with melted feet in the reviews is not a saving.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a table meal without charcoal or a gas bottle, and you have to live with a smoke alarm. The FIMEI HY-6510 is about £49.99, at 1,800 W, with a named drip tray and a dishwasher-safe plate, and 4.8 from 61 amazon.co.uk ratings. One UK review still reports heavy indoor smoke. Follow the manual before you treat the kitchen as allowed.
You want a grill ring and two broths at the table. Food Party FPJ202 is about £99.99, with power fields that agree at 2,200 W and a removable plate, at 3.9 from 122 amazon.co.uk ratings. UK reviews include a melted power connection and a grill ring that stopped. Stop if the plug or the inlet discolours.
You already know a gas barbecue and you are looking at a plug-in plate for outdoors. The Tefal BG90C814 is about £57.10, 2,300 W at 230 V, and the recommended-uses line says outdoor. It has one power level, and the first 50 written texts are not marked United Kingdom. A wattage on the title does not turn it into a gas barbecue.
The top pick is the FIMEI HY-6510, a 1,800 W tabletop plate at about £49.99, with 4.8 from 61 amazon.co.uk ratings. Heat fields agree, and the plate and drip tray are named. The best value is the Luqixcey J-ElectricBBQ-01 at about £29.99, the lowest shelf price on a different listing that still scores at least 50. UK reviews describe melted feet, so the badge is the price floor. None of these scores is a lab cook or a smoke certificate.
FIMEI HY-6510
Highest score at 90: 4.8 from 61 ratings, agreeing 1,800 W, and a named plate and drip tray at about £49.99. Not a lab cook.
Luqixcey J-ElectricBBQ-01
Best value as the lowest shelf price at about £29.99 that still scores at least 50. UK reviews describe melted feet.
