Our takeaway on the Severin RG 2347
On paper, the RG 2347 settles the oldest debate of winter evenings: raclette or fondue? Both, on the same appliance. The pot sits in the middle, the ridged grill surrounds it, and the 8 raclette pans slide underneath. While your uncle gets his cheese flowing, your cousin dips her bread in the fondue, and everyone stays at the same table. With 1400 W listed by retailers, it sits in the upper range of family grills, enough to keep the grill hot even when eight raclette pans are demanding their share.
The ceramic coating on the grill and the pot promises easier cleaning than bare stainless steel, and the adjustable thermostat with its LED ring lets you turn down the heat when the cheese starts to stick. One point to watch: one retailer describes a single 1400 W heating element for both zones, while its bigger sibling, the RG 2348, is listed at about 1900 W with two separately adjustable zones. Don’t mix up the two references when ordering. And the pot’s capacity doesn’t appear in any listing we could read: confirm it before planning a fondue for eight big appetites.
Pros
- Raclette, grill and fondue in a single appliance
- 8 raclette pans, 8 spatulas and 8 forks included
- 1400 W, comfortable power for a big table
- Ceramic-coated grill and pot
- Adjustable thermostat with a light indicator
Things to consider
- Pot capacity not stated in the listings we checked
- A single power level for both zones according to one retailer, no separate control
- No dishwasher-safe parts according to Severin
- Easy to confuse with the more powerful RG 2348

Who is it for?
For families and groups of friends of up to eight who alternate between raclette and fondue through the winter and don’t have room to store two appliances. On the other hand, if you mostly make fondue for six or more and want a pot whose capacity you know, a proper fondue set will be more reassuring. And for a dinner for two, eight raclette pans and a fondue pot is a lot of gear for not much.
