With griddles ranging in size from 17 to 36 inches, Blackstone's 28-inch model is the highest-rated flat top grill under $250, per Consumer Reports. Other sizes and models consistently receive positive reviews on Amazon.

While there are five disadvantages to Blackstone griddles, such as flat top maintenance, most owners are happy with their purchase.
