These are the best gas grills
Stiftung Warentest took a closer look at gas grills and examined various models. While the test winner remains in first place, second place has been taken by a cheap insider tip that is hardly worse.
If you are currently looking for a new gas grill, then the test by Stiftung Warentest comes at just the right time. The product testers looked at expensive and cheap models. One thing quickly became clear: Just because a gas grill is expensive doesn’t mean that it won’t rust or emit any pollutants. The grilling result was just as good with the cheaper models.

Stiftung Warentest has tested gas grills
The first place gets again Rösle Videro Pure G3 with a grade of 2.0. It achieves the best grilling results, is easy to assemble and has a practical viewing window in the lid. The susceptibility to rusting, which is unacceptable at a price of around 500 euros, attracted negative attention. In addition, it is very expansive because it is high and wide. The shelves on the side cannot be folded down.
Second place goes to the price-performance winner Enders Chicago 3 with a grade of 2.1. At just over 200 euros (see Amazon), this gas grill not only costs relatively little, it also works very efficiently and uses little gas. In addition, it can be assembled compactly, so that it does not take up an unnecessarily large amount of space. In the pollutant measurement, a 1.0 was even awarded as a grade. The processing quality was criticized for this. There are some sharp edges and rusting issues may occur.
Third place goes to the very similar one Hellweg Rothman Ottawa with a grade of 2.4. It usually costs 249 euros in hardware stores (look at Hellweg) and also convinces with a quick assembly and the possibility to fold the gas grill relatively compact. However, the gas grill heats up relatively slowly and only received a grade of 2.4 in the pollutant measurement.
Expensive gas grills perform worse
The really expensive gas grills from Napoleon with 840 euros (grade 3.1) and Weber with 700 euros (grade 2.8) end up in last place. Although the Napoleon Rogue 425 convinces with very good operation and is not prone to rust, it poses the risk of burns and assembly is very time-consuming. In addition, the grill grate emits pollutants. Although the Weber Spirit E-315 GBS offers the highest temperature and the best temperature distribution, it is also prone to rust and the grill grate emits pollutants.
A gas grill has many advantages:
Conclusion of the gas grill test by Stiftung Warentest
None of the eight gas grills tested were really bad. However, the result clearly shows that a good gas grill does not have to cost a fortune. You also get good and cheap models that have at least convinced Stiftung Warentest. You can see the complete result in the product testers.
