What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Grill/Griddle
One whitelisted tester covers this exact model: Reviewed (USA Today), which hands-on cooked on it and named it Best Overall electric griddle, praising removable nonstick plates, per-side temperature controls, and consistent heating that produced a fast, evenly browned grilled cheese. It listed no cons. No measured numbers were carried into this entry, and no second whitelisted tester exists for cross-check. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Removable, dishwasher-safe nonstick plates make cleanup easy; Independent temperature control on each of the two cooking zones; High heating consistency; grilled cheese browned evenly and faster than rivals.
BLACK+DECKER Family Sized Electric Griddle
One whitelisted hands-on tester covers this griddle: Reviewed (USA Today) names the Black+Decker Family-Sized Griddle its Best Flat Top pick, praising even, quick cooking, a large 200-square-inch surface, and easy water-immersible cleanup on the ultra-slick nonstick coating, and flagging only a very short power cord. All three quotes were verified as literal matches to Reviewed's article. No tester-measured lab figures were published (dimensions, weight, and 400°F max are spec-sheet values), and retailer, blog, and aggregator reviews were excluded, leaving a single-source consensus. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Cooked every test item (bacon, pancakes, eggs, grilled cheese) evenly and quickly; Large 200-square-inch family-sized cooking surface; Fully water-immersible base makes cleanup easy on the slick nonstick coating.
Flagged: Very short power cord limits where it can be placed without an extension cord.
