Overview
The Artestia AR-89001 is a 1700W tabletop raclette and grill set sized for six to eight diners. It comes with two interchangeable cooking surfaces, a nonstick reversible plate and a granite stone, plus individual pans that slide underneath for melting cheese.
Raclette is a format more than an appliance: the machine sits in the middle of the table, everyone grills their own meat and vegetables on top while cheese melts in a personal pan below, and dinner stretches over a couple of hours. The AR-89001 adds a Korean barbecue angle with the granite stone, which suits thin sliced meat. Heat is set by a single adjustable dial rather than a temperature readout.
- 1700W with adjustable heat control
- Nonstick reversible plate plus granite stone
- Sized for 6 to 8 diners
- Removable plates and included spatulas
Who it's for
Built for people who entertain and want the meal to be the activity, including holidays, game nights and slow family dinners. The two surfaces mean one machine covers both cheese nights and tabletop grilling. If you want a fast weeknight cooking tool or plan to feed the full eight people generously, this is not it.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners describe it as easy to set up, clean and store, and several who had used raclette grills in Europe found this one comparable. The color coded trays and included spatulas get named specifically, as does the responsiveness of the heat dial. Two consistent cautions: it needs to be on the highest setting for the cheese and meat to cook at a reasonable pace, and one reviewer found even maximum too slow with the stone. Others report the nonstick top scratches readily, the build feels light rather than rugged, and an extension cord is effectively required.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Two cooking surfaces included in the box
- Color coded trays keep servings straight
- Turns dinner into a shared activity
- Plates lift out for easier cleanup
- Needs a high setting to cook at speed
- Granite stone heats slowly
- Nonstick surface scratches easily
- Cord is short for a dining table
Performance notes
Output is a fixed 1700W split between the top cooking plate and the pan slots below, so cooking speed depends heavily on how many pans are in use and where the dial sits. The granite stone stores heat well once soaked, which is why some owners preheat it, but it is slower to come up than the metal plate and is the surface people report struggling with at low settings. Nonstick coatings on this class of grill are thin, so metal utensils will mark them.

Questions about the Artestia AR-89001
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
How many people does the Artestia AR-89001 serve?
Artestia rates it for six to eight diners. Owners who used it with eight managed, though one felt the surface was tight for the stated headcount.
Does the Artestia AR-89001 include the granite stone?
Yes. Both surfaces ship in the box, a nonstick reversible plate and a granite grill stone, and they swap out on the same base.
Should you preheat the granite stone?
It helps. One owner warmed the stone in the oven first for even heat, though the grill will bring it up on its own given enough time on a high setting.
