A wide variety of refrigerators, stoves and other kitchen appliances bare the KitchenAid name and the brand has a decent reputation. But when it comes to KitchenAid grills, it’s just a name that’s been licensed to Chinese manufacturer Nexgrill. That said, KitchenAid grills aren’t bad. In fact they may be the best grills for the money that Nexgrill produces. 

Nexgrill also makes Grillmaster, Jenn-Air and Nexgrill. Sears, Lowes, Costco and others carry these brands and they play a lot of sticker price games.

On the downside the warranty is weak and if things go wrong, instead of talking to Weber or Char-Broil customer service people, you’ll end up trying to resolve issues with Nexgrill and their all brands at one toll free customer service number – TGS: The Grill Service Corporation.
