Tough Mama NTM-EG2 2-in-1 Electric Griller review

The Tough Mama NTM-EG2 is the straightforward samgyupsal griller: a 1800W two-in-one with a ridged grill plate and a flat griddle, at around ₱2,400. It is the most-rated Tough Mama griller we list, and the plates do not come off for washing.

How well does it cook?

1800W is among the higher ratings in this list, and you feel it when a full plate of cold liver-marinated pork hits the surface. It holds temperature rather than stalling. The ridged half gives you the char lines and lets fat drain away; the flat griddle is where the garlic, kimchi, and egg go. Cooking both at once is the whole point of the format.

What is it like to live with?

The plates are fixed, so cleaning means wiping the surface while it is still warm and being careful around the element. That is the trade for the price. Fatty pork will smoke, so run it near a window or under a range hood.

Is this electric griller sulit?

Around ₱2,400 as of August 19, 2026, sitting mid-range in the Tough Mama line. You are paying for wattage and plate area rather than for convenience features. Against the ₱1,800 EG1 the question is simple: more power and more surface, or detachable plates.

Who this electric griller suits

Buy this if samgyupsal night is a regular thing and you want the grill-plus-griddle layout with enough power for a full load. Buy something else if you would rather lift the plates into the sink.

Other electric griller options to compare

For the same idea with plates that detach for washing, the Tough Mama NTM-EG1 is cheaper and 1650W. If you want a lid and a round plate, the Hanabishi HGRILL100 is the 1350W alternative.
