Pros and cons

βœ“ Pros

  • 4.9 owner rating from 46 ratings
  • Round 2-in-1 non-stick griller and skillet

βœ— Cons

  • Wattage is not stated in the listing
  • Non-stick plate needs soft utensils, since metal tongs wear the coating
  • An electric griller smokes indoors, so you want it near a window or an extractor
  • Fixed plate size, so a big group cooks in batches

The Tough Mama NTM-EG5 is the low-power one: a round two-in-one griller and skillet rated 1200W by Tough Mama, at around β‚±2,700. That wattage is the whole story, for better and worse.

How well does it cook?

1200W is the lowest in this list, roughly a third less than the 1800W models. In practice that means gentler, slower cooking: fine for eggs, tocino, longganisa, and vegetables, slower to recover when you drop a full plate of cold pork belly onto it. If you grill for two or three, you will not notice. If you are feeding six in a hurry, you will.

The upside is that it draws less from the circuit, which matters in older houses where the kitchen outlet is already carrying a rice cooker and a kettle.

Skillet or griller?

Both, and it is more skillet-like than the higher-wattage models because of the gentler heat. Treat it as a table-top pan that can also grill, rather than a grill that happens to be a pan.

Is this electric griller sulit?

Around β‚±2,700 as of August 19, 2026, which is the same price as the 1750W EG4. On wattage alone that is hard to argue for, so buy this one for the lower power draw and the gentler cooking, not because it is the better deal.

Who this electric griller suits

Buy this if you cook for two or three, you want gentle heat for eggs and marinated meats, or your kitchen circuit is already loaded. Buy the EG4 at the same price if you want more power.

Other electric griller options to compare

The Tough Mama NTM-EG4 round griller costs the same and runs 1750W with a detachable pan, which is the stronger buy for most people. For the cheapest way into the line, the Tough Mama NTM-EG7 Econo-Grill is 2000W at around β‚±1,400.
