Name the fitting before the brand
The valve comes before the logo. Named fittings here are a Campingaz CV cartridge, an EN 417 screw cartridge that appears only in a review, a disposable 16.4 oz propane cylinder, and a UK hose. The Party Grill 200 instructions allow CV 470 Plus and CV 300 Plus only, and say other brands may be dangerous. The 400 title adds an R907 the bullets do not explain. The George Foreman at £125.00 puts a UK hose in the components line. The Char-Broil at £157.97 wants a 16.4 oz disposable cylinder, sold separately.
Cold mornings sit on the cartridge or cylinder page. BS EN 521:2019, portable outdoor LPG up to 3 kW, is not printed on these twelve listings.
Plate, lid, or plancha
UK reviews of the smaller Party Grills say the plate is domed, so sausages slide and you move food back to the hotter middle. The Party Grill 200 at £56.01 prints 1,024 cm² and a 32 by 33 cm stand size. The 400 field says 1.51 cm². Use the 400 bullet of 36 by 42 cm on the stand.
A plancha here is a flat plate. The Othello is 30 by 45 cm at 10.5 kg, with grease meant for a drain. The George Foreman and the Traveler at £322.01 are lidded. A domed Party Grill is the wrong plate if you wanted bars under a closed lid.
When the listing disagrees with itself
Several pages print two sizes, and the smaller line often looks like inches stored as centimetres. The original Party Grill lists 32.5 cm square and also 12.8 cm square. The 200 field says about 13 cm beside a 32 by 33 cm bullet, and the weight is 3.3 kg in the field and 2.84 kg in the bullets.
The 200 prints 2,000 watts and also 2,000 kilowatts, so keep the watt line and treat the kilowatt line as a catalogue error. Leave BTU unconverted. The original Party Grill also shows 230 V beside a gas fuel line. A voltage field on these gas listings does not mean a mains plug.
What is actually in the box
Fuel is extra unless the components line says otherwise, and the reviews still have to agree. The Party Grill 400 at £96.01 lists a gas cartridge. UK reviews of that ASIN say it was not supplied, while the bullets claim a bag and name CV 470 Plus. The 200 does not claim a cartridge. The George Foreman line includes the UK hose and still omits the cylinder size.
A faulty unit falls under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, section 22, a 30-day short-term right to reject, against the retailer. A dead piezo in the box is that kind of fault.
Common questions
Which gas fitting should I check first?
Check the fitting named on that ASIN before the star average. Party Grill rows name a Campingaz CV cartridge. A UK hose is the George Foreman components line. A 16.4 oz disposable propane cylinder is the Char-Broil bullet. Greenfields and CAMPLUX do not name a thread, so those rows stay unfinished. An EN 417 screw canister is a different family from the word gas on its own.
Party Grill 200 or 400 for two people?
For two people the Party Grill 200 at £56.01 prints 1,024 cm² and a 32 by 33 cm stand size, with 4.6 from 1,870 reviews. The Party Grill 400 at £96.01 adds a carry bag and a wok-style lid. Its cooking-area field of 1.51 cm² is unusable, and UK reviews say the listed cartridge was missing. The extra money is the bag and the plate kit, if the box matches the bullets.
Why are there two dimension lines?
The files keep both lines. On the original Party Grill that is 32.5 cm square and also 12.8 cm square. On the 200 the field is about 13 cm and the bullet is 32 by 33 cm on the stand. The smaller figure often looks like inches written as centimetres. Quote the bullet that can agree with a plate, and leave the other cell unresolved. Averaging them would invent a third size nobody printed.
Is the cartridge in the box?
Count a cartridge as included only when the components line says so and the reviews leave that line alone. The Party Grill 400 line says yes, and UK reviews of that ASIN say it was absent. The Othello bullets say the CV 470 Plus cartridge is not included. The Party Grill 200 does not list one. The Char-Broil cylinder is sold separately. Budget for fuel unless you can point at a components line the reviews support.
Does 230 V on the Party Grill mean it plugs in?
The original Party Grill prints 230 V beside a gas fuel line, and the Char-Broil prints 220 V beside a propane bullet. The supply in those files is the cartridge or cylinder the bullets name. A voltage cell is a catalogue field next to that gas supply. It is not a BS 1363 lead, and it is not a reason to run the cooker from a campsite hook-up.
Can I trust the Attitude’s 426 reviews?
The Attitude2go shows 4.6 from 426, and that block is byte-identical to the Othello file, including a title that names the Othello. Those words describe the plancha. They are not a sample of the Attitude’s lid, its 13 kg weight or its 2.4 kW bullet. Read the Attitude from the bullets: CV 470 Plus, Easy Clic, a thermometer, and two dimension lines that disagree. The star line stays with the Othello.
