A grill buyer asks whether a return is possible without costs, whether delivery costs are shown before checkout, how long the wait is and whether payment can be made only at home. These decide 50 points out of a hundred.
Score shows how the company does on our comparison criteria, on a 0–100 scale. Rankings cannot be bought.

Weights are fixed. All companies are measured on the same scale. Read the full methodology.
| Buying motive | What is measured | Scale | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Return costs QUESTIONWho pays for the return if the grill is not suitable? | Consumer's return costs according to the shop's own terms. | Free return = 100 points, conditional (shop may require costs) = 40, customer pays = 0. | 18 p |
| Delivery costs visible QUESTIONCan I see the delivery costs before I start the order? | In what form the delivery costs are published in the terms. | Price list by weight class = 100, free delivery threshold or some of the costs stated = 60, price becomes clear only at checkout = 30. | 14 p |
| Delivery time QUESTIONHow many working days does delivery take? | Upper limit of the store's stated standard delivery time, in working days. | 2 working days or less = 100 points, 10 or more = 0, in between directly proportional. | 10 p |
| Payment by invoice QUESTIONCan I pay only once the grill is at home? | Whether a post-paid invoice or instalment payment is available. | Klarna invoice or instalment payment = 100, advance invoice only = 30. | 8 p |
| Basic metrics | Digital quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality score | Basic metrics × 0.5 | 50 p |
We scored 5 online shops for grills and grilling accessories on 20 metrics: technical quality, transparency, reachability and information quality. The key question: can you see the grill's price, grilling area and power, warranty, delivery and return terms and stock level before you enter your payment card details?
Buying a grill online should be done with the same discipline as any expensive appliance: can you see the price without logging in, does the product page state the grilling surface, power and construction material, and are the warranty, delivery costs and right of return stated before purchase. We compared five Finnish-language online shops specialised in grills on transparency, reachability and data quality.
Product prices displayed without logging in (25), grilling surface, power or material stated on the product page (15), warranty length or warranty details displayed (15), delivery costs, free delivery threshold or delivery time stated (15), right of return and return terms publicly available (10), stock level or availability visible on the product page (10), business ID (Y-tunnus) or responsible company clearly stated (10)
Transparency is 30% of the basic metrics, i.e. 15% of the total points · these metrics make up its 100 points · the full formula and the other pillars
How to read the comparison correctly: Half of the points come from buyer's questions, i.e. things the buyer finds out before deciding. The other half measures how openly the company publishes its prices, terms and contact details. Clear differences in points indicate a genuine difference: one tells you the price immediately, another only after logging in. Close scores should not be read as a ranking order, because every measurement has a margin of variation. The measurement accuracy and the full calculation formula are open in the methodology.
Customer experience is brought into the assessment separately. We also collect customer feedback and customer experiences about companies through separate surveys. The survey results will be added to the overall assessment later.
A grill's price, cooking surface and power are the most important product details. A grill is chosen by the size of the grilling surface, the power of the burners and the construction material, so having this information visible on the product page before purchase is essential for the consumer. The comparison rewards shops that openly show the product price, technical specifications, warranty and availability as well as delivery and return terms.
The comparison includes only online stores specialising in grills. General stores such as Netrauta, Verkkokauppa.com, Prisma, K-Rauta and Taloon sell grills as part of a broad range, but they are not specialist grill shops, so they have been left out of the comparison. Grillikauppa.com merged into Netrauta and is no longer an independent shop.
Some shops show their business ID (Y-tunnus), others don't. Grillitukku, Kaasugrillit.com and Suomen Savustintukku are Finnish companies registered with PRH that show their business ID (Y-tunnus). Napoleon Grillit (Swedish Scandinavisk Spismiljö AB) and GrillSymbol (Estonian Symbol OÜ) are Finnish-language web shops run by foreign companies that do not show a Finnish business ID (Y-tunnus). The business ID (Y-tunnus) metric assesses how clearly the responsible company is shown on the site.
Every company is measured with the same public formula: half of the points come from buyer's questions and half from basic metrics, which have four pillars: technical quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality score. Ranking cannot be bought, and you can see the origin of each point on the company's profile. Read the full methodology →
Web shops specialised in grills often offer more detailed product information, a wider specialty range (kamados, smokers, pizza ovens) and servicing and spare-parts services. General retailers sell grills as part of a wide range but less often offer specialist expertise.
Some Finnish-language grill online shops are run by foreign companies (for example Swedish or Estonian) and do not show a Finnish business ID (Y-tunnus). It is always worth checking the responsible company before buying.
Buying online is convenient and prices are often transparent, but a large grill is heavy to deliver. Check the delivery costs, assembly service and right of return. Many specialist shops operate both online and in a store.
