Which is better for burgers for a crowd?

The Nexgrill, on paper. Its 756 sq in flat top is rated for 37 burgers versus 25 for the Char-Broil. The Char-Broil's warming rack helps you hold finished food while you keep cooking.

Which is better for steaks and roasts?

The Char-Broil. Open grates and a lid let you sear over direct heat and finish with indirect heat. A flat griddle is awkward for thick roasts and lid-down cooking.

Hard to say from specs alone. The Char-Broil carries a 2-year limited warranty; the Nexgrill has no warranty listed here and a 3.4 out of 5 rating from 228 shoppers. Check the warranty terms on each store page before buying.

Is the Nexgrill worth it over the Char-Broil?

Only if flat-top cooking is what you actually do. It gives you more surface and more stated BTU per burner. If you want a lid, grates and a warming rack, the Char-Broil covers more cooking methods.

Can the Char-Broil become a griddle?

Yes. Char-Broil sells griddle and charcoal accessories that convert it, but they cost extra and are not included.

How much space does each need?

The Char-Broil is 45.6 in high and 21.9 in deep. The Nexgrill is 41.22 in high but 29.61 in deep and weighs 129.07 lb, so it needs more clearance behind and in front.

Char-Broil Performance Series 4-Burner Gas Grill vs Nexgrill Daytona 720-1058 4-Burner Propane Gas Grill 36" Flat Top Griddle

Buy the Char-Broil Performance Series 4-Burner if you want a conventional gas grill with grates, a warming rack and a lid for burgers, steaks and indirect cooking. Buy the Nexgrill Daytona 720-1058 if you mainly want a large flat-top griddle for smash burgers, breakfasts and teppanyaki-style cooking. The Char-Broil is the safer all-round pick; the Nexgrill's 3.4 out of 5 from 228 ratings is a caution flag.
