Pros & cons
Nexgrill Deluxe 6-Burner with Ceramic Searing Side Burner
- ✓75,000 BTU is roughly the output of a $3,900 Weber Summit at a sixth of the price
- ✓Rotisserie kit included in the box — Napoleon and Broil King charge extra for this at twice the price
- ✓Ceramic infrared side burner genuinely sears, rather than being a low-output saucepan ring
- ✓Dual energy valves and NG orifices included, so converting fuel later costs nothing
- ✓Angled porcelain flame tamers noticeably reduce flare-ups on fatty cuts
- ✗1-year warranty is the shortest of any grill in this batch and the honest cost of the feature list
- ✗Thin-gauge body: high BTU on light steel means hot spots and a lid that warps over seasons
- ✗Nexgrill publishes no shipping or assembled weight for this model
- ✗59.85 in wide with a tank frame rather than an enclosed cabinet — the tank is visible
Nexgrill Neevo 720 Plus Smart Grill with Air Fryer
- ✓Automatic temperature holding on a gas grill is rare — almost every connected gas grill only reports temperature, it does not control it
- ✓Built-in 13.8 qt air-fryer oven replaces a separate appliance for wings and sides
- ✓Food probes and app monitoring included rather than sold as accessories
- ✓Works fully manually if the app or WiFi is unavailable, which not all smart grills do
- ✓5-year burner warranty, well above Nexgrill's usual 1 year
- ✗Liquid propane only — no natural gas conversion exists for this model
- ✗Two burners across 455.8 sq in means wide temperature variation end to end
- ✗44,000 BTU with no dedicated sear burner; it is not a steak grill
- ✗Nexgrill calls it SureTemp rather than PID and publishes no control-loop detail, so hold accuracy is unverified
- ✗Smart-grill electronics are the part most likely to strand the grill when they fail, and the air fryer drawer is one more powered component to lose
