In short: the Syntrox Wades is a German combination grill for eight that does everything on the same table: raclette in 8 pans, fondue in the middle, natural stone and grill, crêpes and little pancakes. What stands out: 1350 W, a continuously adjustable thermostat, and a manufacturer’s spec sheet with a few gaps.
Availability on 10/11/2026: the Wades is listed as “currently unavailable” on amazon.fr, but it is in stock in the official syntrox.de shop (€154.99 new on that date) and sold on amazon.de.

The fondue side
The fondue sits in the middle of the appliance, with 8 forks, one per guest. Two gaps: the capacity isn’t given, and the list of box contents mentions the “fondue set with 8 forks” without a pot, while the description clearly talks about a central fondue pot. Get the seller to confirm before you order.
Syntrox explains that a single control heats the pans, the fondue pot and the plate together: fondue and raclette run at the same time, at the same temperature. So start the fondue right at the beginning and keep the thermostat moderate so the cheese doesn’t stick.
The crêpe side
Syntrox announces a crêpe plate and a pancake plate “with several wells”, but gives neither the number of crêpes at a time, nor their diameter, nor the heat-up time. On a 40 cm round base, expect table-size crêpes and mini pancakes, not crêperie-size crêpes. Make the batter a little thinner than usual, pour just a little and spread it fast. No spatula appears in the contents list: bring a wooden one to spare the non-stick coating. For more ideas, see our raclette grill desserts.
What we take away
On paper, the Wades ticks every box of a long winter evening: fondue to kick off, raclette and stone to keep going, crêpes to finish. The adjustable thermostat is a real plus when many combination grills only have an on/off switch, and both the pans and the grill plate go in the dishwasher, which makes the morning after kinder.
The flip side is a vague spec sheet: plates miscounted, no capacity, no cord length, no warranty. At around 6 kg, it needs a proper table, a socket within reach and a sturdy cupboard.
Strengths
- Raclette, fondue, stone/grill, crêpes and pancakes in one appliance
- 8 pans and 8 fondue forks: eight guests served
- Continuously adjustable thermostat and 1350 W
- Pans and grill plate dishwasher-safe, according to the manufacturer
Things to consider
- Unavailable on amazon.fr on 10/11/2026
- Little-known brand, sold mainly in Germany
- “4 plates” announced for 3 described; fondue pot missing from the contents list
- Capacity, cord, warranty and heat-up time not stated
- Around 6 kg: bulky to take out and put away
Who is it for?
For families and groups of friends of six to eight who want a whole evening around a single appliance, from fondue to Candlemas crêpes. On the other hand, if you want a simple purchase with local customer service, look elsewhere. And for two people, hauling out 6 kg of kit for two pans is a bit like moving house to buy a loaf of bread.
Alternatives
- Klarstein Fonduelette XL: up to 12 people, 1650 W, three plates including a crêpe plate, and a fondue function.
- Tefal Cheese N’Co 6-in-1: 6 people, 850 W, six functions including fondue and crêpes, but no adjustable thermostat.
