Eight pans, six seats, and one cable · review
The only raclette grill on this site that publishes both its plate dimensions — 41.5 × 22.5 cm (16.3 × 8.9 in) of ribbed die-cast aluminum — and its cable length, at two meters. A chromed Swiss-design housing, Xylan Plus two-layer non-stick, stepless temperature, a parking deck for hot pans, and eight pans with heat-insulated handles plus eight turners.
The net of it The one that thought about the table rather than the box. Two figures give it away: a 2 m (7 ft) cable, because this appliance sits in the middle of a table and not beside a socket — and a published plate size, because eight people need a measurable amount of surface. The parking deck for hot pans is the third: somewhere to put a pan that is not the tablecloth. Die-cast aluminum with a two-layer coating is the most durable plate in the family after stone.
The specification nobody else in this family publishes, and the one that decides the evening. A raclette grill sits in the middle of a table; most kitchen appliance cables are about a meter long. Rommelsbacher publishes 2 m (7 ft).
41.5 × 22.5 cm of ribbed die-cast aluminum, removable, with a two-layer Xylan Plus coating. Again, the only published plate size in this family — the others say “large” and leave it there.
Die-cast aluminum with a two-layer coating is the second most durable surface here, after the Princess’s natural stone, and it is considerably easier to clean than either.
A raised area for hot and unused pans. Anyone who has hosted raclette knows the moment: a pan just off the element, and nowhere to put it that is not a tablecloth. Rommelsbacher also states the pans slide in from all sides, not only from the front — which matters when eight people are sitting around it.
A continuous dial with an indicator light, and 1,500 W behind it. Heat-insulated handles on the appliance, and on all eight pans.
Eight pans with insulated handles and eight turners — one each, which the HengBO in this family does not manage.

Because a raclette grill is used in the middle of a table, and most kitchen appliance cables are around a meter. Rommelsbacher publishes 2 m (7 ft); nothing else in this family publishes a cable length at all. It is the specification that decides whether the appliance reaches the table or the table moves to the wall.
A raised area on the appliance for hot or unused pans, so a pan straight off the element has somewhere to go that is not the tablecloth. Rommelsbacher also states the pans slide in from every side rather than only the front.

A table of eight, and a host who has previously run out of cable.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for kitchen appliances and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
8 seats · 1,300 W · stepless dial
Eight non-stick pans and four wooden spatulas, 1,300 W, with a side dial giving stepless temperature over the plate and the pans together. The non-stick grill plate lifts off and HengBO states it fits in the sink; the maker also states low smoke and odor for indoor use.
Best for: Eight people around a table, in a flat where smoke matters.
12 seats · 1,650 W · 3 plates + fondue
Fonduelette XL: raclette, grill and fondue in one, for up to twelve people, at 1,650 W across three separate stainless heating elements. Three interchangeable tops — metal, natural stone and a crêpe plate — twelve raclette pans, and a lid that holds the fondue forks upright.
Best for: A long table at Christmas, where raclette, grilling and fondue all happen at once.
2–6 people · Ø 30 cm (11.8 in) stone plate
A compact raclette and grill for two to six people, built around a round natural stone plate of 30 cm (11.8 in). Princess publishes something rare in this family: a cleaning routine per component, a stated preheat of about ten minutes, an instruction not to use metal utensils, and color-coded pans so people keep their own.
Best for: Two to six at a small table, and a plate that will not lose its coating because it has none.
