Blackstone Tabletop Griddle 1666
Score: 80/100
Cusimax Hot Plate
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Cusimax Double Burner Infrared Hot Plate offers rapid heating, independent controls, and a durable stainless-steel and glass construction, making it a versatile supplement for small kitchens. Its total 1800 W output and limited pot size restrict heavy-duty cooking, and it lacks an ultra-high heat setting. Ideal for users needing quick, portable cooking with broad cookware compatibility.
The Blackstone 1666 22" tabletop griddle offers a spacious cooking surface and 24,000 BTU of power via two independent burners, making it ideal for feeding groups outdoors. Its need for an external propane source and relatively heavy build can hinder ultra-light backpacking scenarios. Best suited for campers, tailgaters, and patio chefs who value high output and portability without requiring a self-contained fuel system.
