How to read a Showdown Score™
The only score that counts how often a product breaks, not just how owners feel about it.
- Three parts add up to the score: what owners rate it, how often it fails them, and whether a credentialed tester backed it.
- Bands: Exceptional 8.5 and up, Excellent 7.5, Very good 6.5, Good 5.5, Fair 4, Poor below 4. Every score is dated.
- Price, the warranty and what a link pays us stay out of it.

Pros
- Good Housekeeping's Best Tabletop: its buy link goes to this exact listing
- The deepest base on this page, 86% five-star, with 1,026 written reviews on this exact griddle
- Two burners, so one side can hold while the other cooks
- No hood, so nothing to lift or latch
- Sold and shipped by Amazon.com
Cons
- The heat: about an hour on a 1 lb bottle at full burn by our arithmetic, and one owner on a 20 lb tank calls it way too hot and very hot in the center
- Blackstone's manual says to set it on a heat-resistant and flame-resistant surface, which a plastic folding table is not
- No hood means the plate is open in the truck: a lid is extra
- Blackstone's store search returns nothing for the 1666. Amazon still sells it, labelled a 2024 model

“We love this! We bought this version so we could try it out before buying a bigger one, we take this one camping and it’s so convenient and has elevated our camping meals. It is bulky to store and transport but not inconvenient.”— Maureen, Amazon · Verified owner
Pro review “The cooktop stands up to the durability and performance of similar full-sized models.”Best Tabletop. The page's buy links go to this listing, and its card reads 'How it performed in our tests', though the method line names every full-size griddle and prints no figures, so treat it as a lighter test.— Nicole Papantoniou, Good Housekeeping
