In short: the Syntrox Germany RAC-TAT-1500W is for tables of six who want to grill thin slices of meat on a dome and melt their raclette right after. What we take away: 1500 W, six raclette pans, a non-stick coating and a continuously adjustable temperature.

Our takeaway on the Syntrox Germany RAC-TAT-1500W
The tatare hat is the evening where you play chef without leaving your chair. On paper, the RAC-TAT-1500W follows the principle: a heated dome where you lay thin slices of beef, duck or vegetables, and raclette pans that slide in underneath. With 1500 W, it has what it takes to sear meat, and the temperature adjusts continuously so you don’t turn the duck breast into shoe leather. Six raclette pans, six guests: the math is simple, and the appliance stays compact, barely more than 30 cm on a side.
What we know less about is everything else. Syntrox Germany is a brand sold mostly online, and we didn’t find a manufacturer’s spec sheet: the specs come from retailers, who agree on 1500 W, six people and six raclette pans. Nothing clear on the dishwasher or on the broth: most tatare hats have a rim where vegetables and broth simmer, but check it on the Amazon listing before planning a pot-au-feu. And like any dome, it takes a bit of patience to clean, between grease and cheese.

Who is it for?
For Savoyard hat fans who also want raclette, for four or six, and for those who love dinners that stretch on. On the other hand, for a big table, or if you want a full spec sheet and a well-documented brand, you’re better off looking at a better-known model.
