Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Thermal burn hazard (housing and handles), Coating degradation (if present) and Electrical hazard from cord damage on the Delonghi and not on the Delonghi.
  • We flag PTFE fume inhalation (if PTFE coating), Aluminum leaching and Coating degradation and particle shedding on the Delonghi and not on the Delonghi.
  • The Delonghi is stainless steel cooking plates where the Delonghi is Non-stick coated cooking surface (composition unspecified), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 60 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Delonghi is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Delonghi grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
