In short: the Moulinex Accessimo RE151812 is a small 3-function raclette grill for 6 people: cheese in the pans, plancha and crêpes on the same removable plate. What stands out: 6 non-stick pans, a plate and pans that go in the dishwasher, manufacturing in Haute-Savoie, and a stated power of 700 W, with a second value of 850 W on the Moulinex spec sheet.

The crêpe side
One plate does everything: Moulinex classes it as a “crêpe” plate and sells the machine as a plancha and crêpe maker. The manufacturer doesn’t say how many crêpes you can cook at once, how wide they are, or how long it takes to heat up. According to Vanden Borre, the whole machine is about 31 cm across, so think afternoon-snack or dessert crêpes, not the large, thin crêpe from a Breton crêperie.
Our tip: make the batter a little runnier than usual, pour small amounts, and sacrifice the first crêpe to judge the heat. Vanden Borre notes that no wooden spatulas are included, so keep one handy, wood or silicone, to protect the non-stick coating.
What we take away
The Accessimo is the kind of machine you take out of the cupboard without sighing. A size for 6, a single plate that switches from plancha to crêpes, 6 non-stick pans underneath: no stone to look after, no set of three plates to store. The detachable cord is 1.10 m long, so set the grill near a socket, in the middle of a table for six rather than at the end of a table for ten.
On power, the Moulinex sheet lists two lines, 700 W and 850 W, without saying which applies; Vanden Borre and Auchan give 700 W. Moulinex mentions no adjustable thermostat and no on/off button: you plug in, you wait, you unplug. On the plus side, it is made in Haute-Savoie, reblochon country, and Moulinex says it is repairable for 15 years, on top of the 2-year warranty.

Who is it for?
For a couple with two or three children, a shared flat, or four to six friends who want raclette on Saturday and crêpes on Sunday without cluttering the kitchen. On the other hand, with eight or more people, six pans quickly create a queue for the cheese. And if you dream of meat seared over high heat, thin crêpes spread with a rake, or a hot stone, this is not the right tool: there is neither a stone nor temperature control.
