The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Six burners and 768 sq in of cooking space put the Nexgrill 720-0896B in the large-capacity tier. The 15,000 BTU total output is actually modest for a six-burner grill, averaging just 2,500 BTUs per burner, which points more toward broad cooking coverage than high-heat performance. The alloy steel and stainless steel construction weighs in at 124.19 lb, so this is a permanent or semi-permanent patio setup rather than a moveable grill.
At 22.82 x 58.1 x 47.71 in, the footprint is substantial. The six independent burners give you strong multi-zone flexibility, letting you run different temperatures across the grill simultaneously. At $659.97, the price per square inch of cooking area is reasonable for the size category, though buyers in this range also have access to well-reviewed alternatives from established brands.
The 3.9-star average from just 24 reviews is a caution flag. That rating is not alarming on its own, but the sample is too small to distinguish consistent quality from a few outliers in either direction. Buyers making a nearly $700 purchase would benefit from seeking out additional independent reviews before committing.

Performance notes
With 15,000 BTUs across six burners, the average output per burner is 2,500 BTUs, which is low by typical single-burner standards. This suggests the grill is designed for steady, even heat across a large 768 sq in surface rather than intense direct searing. The combination of alloy steel and stainless steel in the body and grates indicates a mixed-materials build that should resist surface rust but may not match fully stainless construction for longevity in harsh outdoor conditions. The 124.19 lb weight anchors this as a backyard grill that stays put.
What buyers say
At 3.9 stars from 24 reviews, the rating is mildly positive but the sample is too small to be statistically meaningful. A handful of buyers with above-average or below-average experiences can easily swing the average in either direction at this review count. Shoppers should treat this rating as preliminary and seek additional data points before purchasing at this price.

Frequently asked questions
Is 15,000 BTUs enough for a 6-burner grill of this size?
It depends on what you are cooking. For slow roasting, indirect heat, and cooking large volumes at moderate temperatures, 15,000 BTUs spread across 768 sq in is adequate. For high-heat direct searing you will find more powerful options at this size. If searing is a priority, look for grills that deliver at least 3,500 to 4,000 BTUs per burner.
How difficult is assembly for a grill this size?
Large six-burner grills at this weight class typically require two people and 60 to 90 minutes for assembly. The 124.19 lb assembled weight means positioning should be done before the final steps are complete. Keep the manual handy and lay out all hardware before starting to avoid mid-assembly confusion.
How should I maintain the alloy steel and stainless steel surfaces?
Brush the grates after each use while still warm, and wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth to remove grease before it bakes on. Avoid abrasive pads on stainless panels, as they scratch the surface and can promote surface oxidation over time. A fitted grill cover is strongly recommended given the large footprint and mixed-material construction.
