Reviews for Avantco EG36N 36" Electric Countertop Griddle - 208/240V, 7488W-10080W

I was excited to get this until I cut my fingers twice while opening this. The edges of the splash guards are RAZOR SHARP. My employee also cut her finger trying to pull the plastic off. Avantco needs to spend a little more time getting these things SAFE for use. Anyone trying to prepare food on these will find their fingers cut up if they hit the edges. I had to get a sander and sand down the edges before putting in my kitchen. Great looking unit. Horrible QA.

It is a great product. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes to fully heat up. The reason I gave 4 starts is, the splash guard around it is not fully attached to the body so it tends to leak when water or any liquid goes around the edges. Though overall it is a great product

Ordered this griddle installed it and love it. I place my pots on there to cook my soups. I use it to do eggs, burgers whatever is needed at the moment for the customer. Easy to clean. Outlet was hard to find at electrical supply area in my area. Once I located it had electrician install it. I am golden.

I am a 10 year seasoned cook on a food truck. I have cooked on alot of griddles. But the Avantco EG30N 30" Electric Countertop Griddle is definitely in its own lane. It distributes heat evenly, very reliable, and very well priced. All i can say is, this is a must if you are interested in buying one.

Only had this grill for a few days and already couldn't live without it. Just an incredible value for the money. I tested the temperature and found the thermostat to be dead on and calibrated to the center of the grill, and the 1/2" thick grill surface heats evenly all over. In fact, from the hottest point to the coolest point, I found less than 20 degrees F differential. I would definitely buy this grill again.

Nice adjustable feet and it was nice that the surface came protected in oil. After burning that off, I applied some sunflower oil and cranked it until it smoked. Handled another round, then it was on to cooking. Turned out bean and griddled cheese tacos to the crew.

This griddle is a god sent, it is used everyday and has really made our cooking process in the kitchen easier for sure. The only thing is that the red label is coming off.

Perfect size and heating, bought it for cooking eggs, omelet, scrambled eggs and hamburgers. It fit perfect over the counter, I had to change the plug.

Excellent griddle comparing to the price... when I saw the price I thought it will be low performance griddle but when I tried it found it very quick to heat and the temperature control is awesome ... I like it.

We bought this electric griddle time ago. We use it all day long, 365 days per year, always switched on. It is really an amazing product!

Haven't had any issues with this purchase. We were very happy on how it cooks. We are only using for minimal business but it is great for what we need it for!! Just check connection plug. we had to have it changed to use this.

Excellent product I have this as a backup grill in my food truck I cook pancakes, shredded hash browns, grilled toast, grill buns, grill tortillas Very handy to have

Work horse. I bought 2 of them couple of years ago. They still work great.

Good product shipping has its issues Avantco EG36N 36" Electric Countertop Griddle -is a brand you can trust for your needs

At first I thought I was gonna want a gas griddle or maybe even a bigger griddle, I was wrong I absolutely love this griddle and it heats up fast and accurately. This is my favorite tool in our food truck kitchen.

This griddle has served us well. With where we've placed it in the kitchen, the middle does tend to get hotter so we usually set it 10 or 20 degrees below the edges. Takes about 15 or 20 minutes to get to heat up if you turn it all the way up, and retains heat very well. (Discovered this when I was seasoning it and was waiting for it to cool down -- it took forever!)

Very easy to use. Just make sure you have the right electric outlets to support this kind of high usage. Easy to clean and stays hot.

I was really skeptical when I first ordered this product, it just seemed the price was too great. I have to tell you this is a great heavy duty grill. I run it about 10 hours a day and have never had any problems. The grill is easy to clean and makes anything from eggs to hamburgers. Also easy to keep clean and you will love the way it keeps the temperature constant. Great!!

This is an absolutely fantastic griddle for the price! We purchased this 2 years ago for our cafe and use it 7 days a week for 9 to 11 hours a day consistently as a griddle for sandwiches and cooking eggs and sausage and bacon on top of. The two different heat source sides allow us to have one side as a griddle to toast and the other wise as a warmer to keep things warm. It's easy to scrape clean and keep in good working order and the legs are adjustable. Highly recommend and will absolutely be buying this again in the future if I ever need to replace my existing one. It's great!

Don’t get turned offf by the cheap price and 120 volt power..this little bad boy works like a charm. Heats up and stays hot for whatever you need. Recovery time is fast..

This grill is perfect for food trucks and outdoor events. I heats up fast and takes at least 20 minutes to unheat. Easy washing afterwards. Very easy to control temp. settings. Just be mindful of the powerful cord. Not a standard outlet and requires 30 amp breaker. Use for outdoor or indoor. All around great buy though.

This was a great buy. We have a very small kitchen and this grill fits perfectly. It is very sturdy and heats quickly. Would definitely buy this again.

A great bargain! Purchased this for outdoor vending events and it’s been a lifesaver. Now sits in my eatery for small orders and heating up buns. Easy to use.

Good griddle. Heat up takes a while, but once it’s there, temp is maintained well. Fast shipping, good price. Light weight, so easy to move around for cleaning purpose.

Purchased this unit about a year and a half ago and it works great. We cook breakfast lunch and dinner on this for 12 hours a day and haven't had a issue with it, I'm looking at getting a second one for our new shop.

Great little griddle for an exceptionally good price. Keeps even heat and does not use a lot of power to run even when in use all day.

This thing is awesome. Really gets nice and hot and makes pancakes super fast. We don't even run it on more than a 6 most of the time

The Avantco EG16N 16" Electric Countertop Griddle is great, this has been ordered in the past but this is the first review that has been done we will be ordering more for the sandwich shop.

Great griddle for the price. Could have a larger grease trap, but regardless it is a very nice machine and heats up very fast (220V). Thanks!

This does the job. Might be a little underpowered, but works ok as long as you don't overload it. For the price, about what I expected

Purchased this Griddle July 2023- by May 2024 it stopped working. It would heat up all the even if it was turned to off. There was no adjusting temp, wouldnt cool down. Got a replacement one since under warrenty. Here we are not even a year later starting to have the same issues. Not fully shutting off unless unplugged, i have to set the temp lower than we want it. Was told by customer support we use it to much for the unit size (we keep the temp at 300-350 degrees and are only open for 6 hours in the mornings). Great little unit for our thight kitchen space but doesnt last.

Works well until it doesn't. We purchased it in Oct and in Dec the next year it failed...two months out of warranty and WebstraurantStore wouldn't help us with repairs or provide any discount on a replacement. They wouldn't even cover the extra fee for expedited processing of a replacement unit. So, we purchased a replacement unit with an extended 4 year warranty from some place else for less cost.

We bought two of these June 2023 both of the heating elements went out at the same time. Would not recommend this product!

I been using this for over 2 years and love it. Easy to use, heats up 7-8 mins and easy to clean up.

This griddle was great in a pinch! When our big grill went out and we needed to keep cooking, this griddle kept the food flowing. It works good for the purpose, its sturdy (pretty heavy actually). Just know that the drip catch is small so if you're using it for commercial use like we are you must remember to check it often. I would recommend this brand and style of griddle.

OK, the only reason I gave this three stars instead of four is the fact that it did not come with the power cord. It said hardwired the same as the fryer I bought, the fryer had a power cord attached to it, just needed to put a plug on. Yet the griddle did not? Both products were made by Avantco and both products said “hard wired” so I don’t understand the difference in the wiring. Which intern made me have to pay my electrician more money so that he could build an entire cord for this griddle. Other than that I have no issues with this product. Heats up very quickly, and is a very nice looking piece of equipment. Again, my kitchen staff CAN NOT wait to use it. My griddle cook has already named it Francine. Lol

This grill is ok. Not great for high volume cooking. A wire did come lose right away, but our handy man repaired it and it works fine now.

Product came broken during shipping, literally crushed. Electrician verified it would not work. Webstaurantstore refused to take it back unless I paid return shipping and restocking which would account for more that half of what I paid. RESTOCKING OF A DAMAGED item? Ridiculous. Will never do business with this company again. Beware of this company.

My first griddle arrived damaged and Webstaruantstore customer support was awesome. They sent me another one free of charge!

Very happy with it well be ordering again
