Questions and answers
- Which is better for a family that cooks breakfast and dinner outside?
- Both handle it: each has a 28-inch two-zone plate with room for about 21 burgers. The combo adds air frying and a warming drawer, which helps when you cook in courses.
- Is the air fryer version worth the extra money?
- It costs $397.00 at Walmart versus $176.98 at eBay for the plain griddle as of November 3, 2026. If you would otherwise buy a separate air fryer, the gap narrows; if not, the plain griddle is the better value.
- Which one is easier to move?
- The plain griddle. It weighs 98 lbs against 132 lbs for the combo, and it stands about 5 inches shorter.
- Do they cook the same?
- Yes on the griddle side. Both use a 28-inch plate with 34,000 BTU total and independent controls for each side. The combo adds air frying and warming, not more griddle heat.
- Which has the better buyer record?
- The plain 28-inch griddle: 4.7 out of 5 from 15,962 ratings, against 4 out of 5 from 506 ratings for the combo.
