Nexgrill Red 4-Burner Model #720-0649 Gas Grill Review
About.com Rating
The Bottom Line
This is a $400USD gas grill loaded with about every feature you could think of. Unfortunately all those extras come at a price; quality. With virtually every kind of burner, this grill has a lot of versatility (comes with a rotisserie burner, but you have to spend extra to get the rotisserie kit). Nexgrill has produced similar grills to this one, but they were usually complete stainless steel grills.
This grill saves money by switching to porcelain coated steel, but the fatal flaw with this grill is the quality of the internal components, not the body construction. I would recommend a simpler grill.

Guide Review - Nexgrill Red 4-Burner 720-0649
This model has been discontinued.
Last year Char-Broil and Home Depot gave us the popular Char-Broil Red grills. It would appear that Lowes wanted a lookalike so they got Nexgrill to import this grill. Of course the Char-Broil version is a complete Infrared grill and this one is a list of versatility.
Packed with virtually every feature you can put in a grill from the internal halogen lights to the infrared sear burner this $400USD grill looks like the answer to everything. Of course all these extras don't come cheap and despite the lack of expensive stainless steel body parts, this grill takes a number of quality cuts to make it profitable. With lightweight burners and weak internal components this grill might be giving you trouble in a few years. Add to this the lack of support that Nexgrill is known for (read these comments) and you won't have a lot of options in the future.
