Nexgrill is the Costco and Home Depot gas grill you’ve walked past a hundred times.
Founded in 1993, Nexgrill has become the volume-play gas grill brand at big-box retail. Their strength: enormous cook areas and multiple burners at prices well below premium brands. Their weakness: build quality varies by line and generation. This guide covers which Nexgrill lines to actually consider in 2026.

Best value: Nexgrill Deluxe 6-Burner
What Nexgrill does well: massive cook areas at prices Weber cannot touch. The Deluxe 6-Burner delivers 800+ sq in at $500. Perfect for big family cookouts and cooking for 8+ regularly. What you give up vs Weber Genesis: warranty is 3-5 years vs Weber’s 10, stainless burners run 3-5 years vs Weber’s 10. What you keep: your $1,000 savings.
Best smart: Nexgrill Neevo 720
Nexgrill’s connected line. App control, Wi-Fi temperature monitoring, meat probe integration. Not as polished as Weber Connect but functional. $800 for a 6-burner smart gas grill puts this at a genuine value tier.
Best flagship: Nexgrill Oakford 850
Nexgrill’s premium consumer line. 6 burners, infrared sear station, side burner, LED-lit control knobs. Direct feature-for-feature competitor to Napoleon Prestige 500 at ~30% lower price. Trade-off: build quality is still Nexgrill quality, not Napoleon quality.
Best portable: Nexgrill Daytona 2-Burner
Compact tabletop propane grill. $200 puts it below Weber Q2200. Cast iron grate, folding side shelves, simple to use.
Nexgrill pellet grills
Nexgrill also produces pellet smokers in the 500-800 sq in range at $400-600. Not competitive with Traeger or Pit Boss on features but priced lower than either.
Nexgrill vs Char-Broil vs Weber — where each wins
| Brand Tier | Best At | Warranty | Expected Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weber | Build quality, longevity | 10 yr | 15+ years |
| Nexgrill | Big cook areas, price | 3-5 yr | 7-10 years |
| Char-Broil | TRU-Infrared, budget | 2-5 yr | 5-8 years |
Bottom line
Best value Nexgrill: Deluxe 6-Burner at $500. Massive cook area at Char-Broil-tier pricing.
Smart features on a budget: Neevo 720 at $800. Premium tier: Oakford 850 at $1,000. Portable: Daytona 2-Burner at $200.
If you plan to keep the grill 10+ years, save the extra $300-500 and buy Weber Genesis instead. If you replace grills every 5-7 years or are cooking-for-a-crowd focused, Nexgrill Deluxe wins the value equation.
