Vermax 3-in-1 electric barbecue grill review: three layers, 1000W
How we reviewed this: we read the Shopee PH listing, checked the listed specs, and went through 54 owner ratings.
Vermax 3-in-1 Electric Barbecue GrillThe Vermax 3-in-1 stacks a barbecue griller, a fry pan, and a soup pot into one small footprint, which is the right answer if counter space is your real constraint. At a seller-listed 1000W it has about half the power of the big flat grillers, so it cooks for two or three at a time rather than a crowd.
- Price: ₱3,200 as of Aug 19, 2026
- Biggest pro: Three layers put a griller, a fry pan, and a soup pot in one footprint
- Main catch: 1000W has to serve all three layers, so a full load cooks slowly

Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- Three layers put a griller, a fry pan, and a soup pot in one footprint
- Goes upward instead of sideways, so it suits a small counter
- 1000W is light enough to share a circuit with other appliances
- 5 owner rating from 54 ratings
✗ Cons
- 1000W has to serve all three layers, so a full load cooks slowly
- Half the power of the 1800W to 2000W flat grillers in this category
- The stack is tall, so it needs cabinet height to store
- Non-stick surfaces need soft utensils, since metal tongs wear the coating
The Vermax 3-in-1 Electric Barbecue Grill stacks three cooking levels into one small footprint. It rates well with owners, and the vertical layout is a real answer to a real Filipino problem: counter space. The number that decides whether it suits you is the one the listing title leaves out.
What the three layers actually are
Not three grills. Vermax describes the set as a barbecue griller, a fry pan, and a soup pot, stacked instead of spread out. Where a big flat griller solves the crowd problem by being wide, this one solves it by going upward, which in a condo kitchen or a dorm is the trade that matters.
The three-layer version is Vermax’s C039. The same family’s two-layer model is the C038, and the two listings look almost identical, so check the model code and the layer count on the variant you are actually adding to cart.
The wattage the title leaves out
Vermax lists the three-layer C039 at 1000W, and the two-layer C038 at 800W. That is the most useful fact about this grill, and it cuts both ways.
It is low for this category. A big flat griller like the Tough Mama EG3 draws 1800W and the EG7 draws 2000W, so this has around half the power and three levels to serve with it. Treat it as a small appliance: fine for a couple of servings at a time, slow if you load it cold and want everything ready together.
The flip side is real too. At 1000W it is easy on a shared circuit and easy on the Meralco bill, and you can run it on a kitchen counter without thinking about what else is plugged in.
Three layers, or 1800W somewhere else?
Around ₱3,200 as of August 19, 2026. You are paying for the vertical layout and the three pieces, not for power, and flatter, better-documented grillers at 1800W cost less. Worth knowing before you order: this listing is run by a third-party shop rather than a Vermax store, so ask in chat who honors the warranty.
Who the Vermax 3-in-1 suits
Buy this if counter space is genuinely your constraint and you cook for two or three at a time. If you are feeding a crowd and have the counter for it, one wide 1800W plate will cook faster for less.
Flat grillers to weigh against it
For two large cooking surfaces at a published 1800W, the Tough Mama NTM-EG3 is the flat alternative. For a compact unit that grills and does hotpot at 1500W, see the Hanabishi HGRILL380.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three parts of the Vermax 3-in-1?
Vermax describes the set as a barbecue griller, a fry pan, and a soup pot, stacked in layers rather than spread across the counter. The layers share one body and one heat source.
How many watts is the Vermax 3-layer grill?
Vermax lists the three-layer C039 at 1000W and the two-layer C038 at 800W. Check which model a listing is selling, because the names are close and the power is not the same.
Is 1000W enough for samgyupsal?
For two or three people at a time, yes. It is roughly half what a big flat griller draws, so a cold, fully loaded plate takes longer to get going and a crowd ends up eating in batches.
Does the Vermax grill come with a warranty?
The brand's own listings on other marketplaces claim a one-year local warranty. This Shopee listing is run by a third-party shop rather than a Vermax store, so confirm in chat who would actually honor it before ordering.
