Summary
The Blackstone 8001 is a 120 V electric countertop griddle with a 307 sq in cooking surface, two independently controlled heat zones and a listed weight of about 30.8 lb. Before buying, check the physical size and surface material for yourself: neither is published anywhere that could be read, so the fit on your counter and the coating’s durability are open questions.
Strengths
- Two independently controlled zones let one surface hold two temperatures at once.
- A 307 sq in surface is roomy enough for a family-sized batch of pancakes, eggs or burgers.
- 1600 W at 120 V runs from a standard US kitchen outlet, with no special wiring.
- At about 30.8 lb it is light enough for one person to lift off the counter.
Weaknesses
- No overall dimensions are published, so measure your counter and storage before ordering.
- The cooking-surface material and coating are not stated, leaving non-stick life and seasoning needs unknown.
- The control type is unstated: it could be dials, knobs or a digital panel.
- No warranty term or replacement-parts listing was found.
- No independent test or owner report was located, so heat-up time, temperature stability and reliability are unmeasured.

Full research notes and sources
What is and is not verified
Everything confirmed about this griddle comes from its product data: a 307 sq in surface, 1600 W at 120 V, two independently controlled heat zones and a weight of about 30.8 lb. The manufacturer page, independent reviewers and owner discussions could not be reached when this page was written, so the dimensions, surface material, control type, cord length, included items, warranty and country of origin remain unconfirmed. Treat this page as a spec summary rather than a tested review.
Cooking surface and zones
A 307 sq in surface split into two zones is the feature that separates this griddle from single-temperature models: you can hold one side low for eggs while the other runs hot for searing. 1600 W at 120 V is ordinary for a countertop griddle of this size and keeps it on a standard household circuit. How evenly those two zones actually hold heat is not something the available material answers; no one has published a temperature map or a recovery time.
