Overview
At 1800 watts the T-Fal 7211002168 draws as much power as many commercial electric grills in a consumer-priced package. High wattage matters for grilling because it affects how quickly the surface reaches temperature and how fast it recovers heat after cold food is placed on it. That 1800W figure is a genuine selling point at the $169.95 price.
The stainless steel construction at 11.5 lb gives it a sturdy, kitchen-appropriate presence. The dimensions at 18.9 x 9 x 14.8 inches show a unit with some length, which could suggest a long cooking surface suited to fish fillets, elongated cuts, or cooking multiple items side by side. No surface area spec is published to confirm this inference.
T-Fal has an established track record in electric cooking appliances, and 1,800 reviews at 4.6 stars represents a large enough sample to be meaningful. The 120V voltage requirement is standard for North American households. At $169.95 it falls in a reasonable range for what the wattage and brand combination deliver.
Performance notes
1800W is the peak commonly available in consumer-grade electric grills, placing this T-Fal at the top of the wattage range without entering commercial pricing. Higher wattage means faster preheat times and better heat recovery when cooking cold proteins. The 11.5 lb stainless steel body suggests a grill that stays stable on the counter. The 18.9 inch length indicates a cooking surface that can accommodate larger cuts or multiple items at once.
What buyers say
1,800 reviews at 4.6 stars is a well-sized sample from buyers who clearly expected solid performance from a T-Fal product and received it. The 4.6-star average from this volume of buyers indicates consistent satisfaction across a broad range of cooking uses and kitchen setups. T-Fal buyers tend to have informed baseline expectations about electric cooking appliances, making this rating a reliable indicator.

Frequently asked questions
Is 1800W a significant advantage for an electric grill?
Yes, wattage directly affects how hot a grill can get and how quickly it recovers temperature when cold food is added. At 1800W the T-Fal 7211002168 is at the top of what typical household circuits deliver on a single outlet. Compared to 1200W models, it will generally preheat faster and maintain more consistent cooking temperatures under load.
How large is the cooking surface on the T-Fal 7211002168?
No cooking surface area is published in the available specifications. The 18.9 x 9 inch outer dimensions suggest a relatively long, narrow overall footprint, which may indicate a similar shaped cooking surface. The actual grill area will be smaller than the outer casing dimensions.
