Plate area, and where the fat goes · review
A 2,000 W three-in-one: contact grill, sandwich maker, and a table grill when the top opens flat through 180°. ADE publishes automatic height adjustment so food is cooked without being pressed, a stepless temperature dial, non-stick plates, a fat tray and non-slip feet.
The net of it Better thought through than its price suggests. Automatic height adjustment is the specification that separates a contact grill that cooks a sandwich from one that flattens it, and a stepless dial beats the three fixed steps on the Tefal. What ADE does not publish is the plate area, which is the number this family lives on — and unlike the Tefal, the Philips and the Braun, the plates are not stated to come out.
The specification worth the price here. ADE publishes automatic height adjustment: the upper plate settles onto the food rather than pressing it flat. On a filled sandwich or a piece of fish, that is the difference between grilling and crushing.
Contact grill, sandwich maker, and — with the top opened right through 180° — a flat table grill with twice the surface. ADE names balcony use among the intended ones.
A dial with stepless temperature control, which is more than the Tefal offers with its three fixed steps, at three quarters of the price. 2,000 W behind it, matching the Tefal.
Non-stick plates, a fat drip tray, and non-slip feet. The plates are not stated to be removable — which puts this model on the wrong side of the line the Tefal, the Philips and the Braun all sit on.
Plate area. This whole family lives on square centimeters: four people eating at once need surface, and a grill that runs out of it cooks in shifts. ADE does not publish it, and it cannot be inferred.

ADE states the upper plate adapts so food is cooked evenly without pressure. It matters for anything you do not want squashed — a filled sandwich, a piece of fish — where a fixed hinge presses rather than closes.
ADE does not publish a plate area, so the honest answer is that this cannot be worked out from the listing. The Tefal on this site publishes about 93 in² (600 cm²) closed and 186 in² (1,200 cm²) open, which is the figure to compare against.

265 °C (509 °F) sear · 2 zones · waffle plates
MultiGrill 9: three cooking positions, two independent temperature zones, a food probe, a sear function Braun states reaches 265 °C (509 °F) in minutes, and heating elements built into the plates. All plates are non-stick, removable and dishwasher-safe — and the set includes grill, flat and waffle plates.
Best for: A household that grills often, cooks two things at once, and would rather not own a waffle iron too.
60–220 °C (140 to 428 °F) · food probe · 8 presets
The only contact grill of the four with a food probe and a published temperature range. Philips states the probe monitors the core temperature of the food, digital control sets anything between 60 and 220 °C (428 °F), eight presets cover the usual jobs, the top opens 180° into a table grill, and the plates are removable.
Best for: Anyone who has ever cut a steak open to see whether it was done.
2,000 W · 93 in² (600 cm²) closed · 186 in² (1,200 cm²) open
The three-in-one that publishes its surface: about 93 in² (600 cm²) as a contact grill, 186 in² (1,200 cm²) opened flat as a table grill or BBQ. 2,000 W, a three-step adjustable thermostat with an indicator light, a dedicated gratin position, and non-stick plates and drip tray that come out for the dishwasher.
Best for: A household of three or four that wants to know, before buying, how much fits.
