Best tabletop grill UK

Updated: 23 October 2026

The best tabletop grill UK buyers can take from this amazon.co.uk set is a closed contact grill, and the right one depends on how often you cook meat. If you want a thickness sensor and plates that lift off for the dishwasher, the Tefal OptiGrill Plus is the top pick. If you want burgers and toasties under £40 with a stated UK 3-pin plug, the George Foreman Medium Fit is the best-value pick, provided you will wipe fixed plates by hand. A qualifying purchase through our links can earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The full [tabletop grill comparison](/hub/grills-and-barbecues/tabletop-grill) holds every model in the batch.

Top pick for sensor contact cooking

For frequent burgers, chicken and sausages, the Tefal OptiGrill Plus (GC713D40) is the top pick in this set. The October 2026 capture lists 2,000 W, six automatic programmes, a thickness sensor and removable dishwasher-safe plates. The body prints at about 36.5 cm square and 5 kg, and fatty loads can still smoke. On a week of cheese toasties the sensor sits idle, and reviews report non-stick wear. The UK 3-pin plug is unnamed on the capture. Preheat and doneness sit on the how to use a tabletop grill page.

Best value for everyday cooking

The George Foreman Medium Fit (25810) is the best-value electric grill here for weekday cooking. At about 27.5 × 33.3 × 7.7 cm it stores on its side and suits two people more readily than a dinner party. The plates are fixed, so burnt cheese stays on the unit. Reviews mention uneven heat on thicker cuts, and non-stick that wears after months of daily use. The Large Fit at £55.99 is described in this capture as an open plate around 32.8 × 43.1 × 8.2 cm, so read it before you treat it as a bigger lid-down Medium.

Open plate and raclette in this batch

These rows are format picks beside the contact top pick. The Quest Large is the open plate, with a stated 48 × 26 cm surface and a body about 28.5 × 57.5 × 11 cm, so measure the table. Coating wear shows up in the shared Quest reviews, and the UK plug is unnamed. For eight pans, start with the Hengbo. Eight pans are cheese portions, not eight steaks. The BOSKA’s 12 reviews are too thin to outrank that file.

When you should skip a pick

Skip the OptiGrill Plus when toasties are the whole job. Skip a contact grill when everyone cooks on one open surface, or melts cheese in their own pan. Skip the Quest XXL in a galley or a studio. That row is titled as a 90 × 26 cm plate. Footprint and alarms are on the tabletop grill for small kitchens page. A Salter, an Immersa or a Ninja sits outside this ASIN list. Format and power sit on the tabletop grill buying guide.

Common questions

What is the best tabletop grill in this set?
For sensor contact cooking with removable dishwasher-safe plates, the Tefal OptiGrill Plus is the top pick. The October 2026 capture lists it at £155.55, 2,000 W and 4.7 stars from 2,504 reviews. It suits households that grill burgers, chicken and sausages often enough to use the lights. If you only want toasties, the George Foreman Medium Fit at £33.99 is the better spend.
Is the OptiGrill Plus worth more than £150?
It is worth about £155.55 in this capture when you will use the thickness sensor and you want the plates off the machine for washing. Compared with a £33.99 Medium Fit, toasties alone do not justify the gap. The cooking area can feel smaller than the family line, the coating wears, and fatty food can still smoke. Confirm the UK 3-pin plug on the live listing.
What should I buy under £40?
The George Foreman Medium Fit at £33.99 is the best-value pick under £40 in this set: 1,630 W, a stated UK 3-pin plug, a drip tray and 4.5 stars from 7,967 reviews. The plates stay on the unit, so burnt-on food is a wipe-down job. The Small Fit at £19.99 is the tighter toastie option at 760 W. The Quest Large at about £28.50 is the open-plate route.
Which teppanyaki is the strongest in this batch?
The Quest Large, at about £28.50 and 2,000 W, is the open-plate pick on price and review volume: a 48 × 26 cm surface against 4.5 stars from 4,471 reviews shared with sister Quest plates. Measure the 28.5 × 57.5 × 11 cm body before you order. Coating wear appears in those reviews, and the UK plug is unnamed. The LIVIVO Large at £32.99 names a UK plug, with 809 reviews at 4.4 stars.
Which raclette suits eight pans?
The Hengbo HB-105 is the eight-pan raclette to start with: £59.99, 1,500 W and 4.6 stars from 780 reviews. Plan cheese and sliced toppings, because the top plate is tight for steaks. The BOSKA Gourmet Party at £69.99 has a ceramic-coated plate and only 12 reviews at 4.9 stars, so treat it as a finish choice with thin evidence.
Are these capture prices still current?
Treat every figure here as an October 2026 amazon.co.uk capture, not a live till price and not a lab cook. The OptiGrill Plus was £155.55, the Medium Fit £33.99, the Quest Large about £28.50, the Hengbo £59.99 and the BOSKA £69.99 when this set was saved. Open the listing before you buy.
