Our take
Burners and plate
Three stainless steel burners can be lit and adjusted separately, with an average power of 5 kW according to the listing. The specification table shows 15 kW, which looks inconsistent, so treat the 5 kW figure in the bullets as the working number.
The cooking surface is 62 x 35.5 cm and 3.5 mm thick. The listing does not say what the plate is made of. A thinner plate heats quickly but will show hotter spots above each burner, so plan zones around that.
Gas connection and ignition
Piezo ignition is fitted, and it runs on butane or propane. A gas hose and regulator are not included, so you need to buy them from your gas supplier to match your bottle. A fat drip tray is listed among the features.
It arrives in a single parcel and needs some self-assembly.
Footprint
The bullets give 62 cm long, 47 cm deep and 24 cm high, with a stainless steel facade. That is compact enough for a garden table, and the low weight means it can go back into a shed after use.
Its height of 24 cm also makes it suitable for building into a masonry or modular worktop, provided you leave room around the sides for the gas connection and air flow. Measure the opening carefully, since the listing gives only these outer dimensions and no cut-out guidance.
Where it sits in the plancha guide
The Forge Adour Origin G60 is heavier at 21 kg and uses an enamelled cast iron plate, which stores more heat. The Onlyfire 2-burner tabletop plancha adds a lid with a thermometer and folding legs for travel. The Happy Garden's advantage is three heat zones in a light body with a clearly stated cooking area.
Verdict
Choose the Happy Garden plancha if you want three heat zones and a decent cooking area in a light, easily stored unit, and you are happy to buy a hose and regulator. For a heavier cast iron plate, the Forge Adour Origin G60 is the better pick, and the Onlyfire tabletop suits camping.
