Coleman NXT Lite Table Top Propane Grill Review

Editor Rating: 4.7/5

Are you looking for a small grill? We recommend the Coleman NXT Lite Table Top Propane Grill. It is portable and can also sit beautifully on your kitchen counter.

What makes this different from the other gas grills we've reviewed is that it is a table top type of gas grill. It doesn't have those bulky body or gas tank cabinets that most gas grills have. All you need to do is put on a flat surface and attach a portable gas canister or refillable gas tanks.

Although the grill is small, it produces plenty of heat and has plenty of grilling space for a family of four. However, it does get extremely hot so if you are inexperienced or haven't gotten used to the grill there is a chance that it might burn your food.

We recommend keeping the temperature at a low setting especially if it is your first time using it to avoid burning the food and to also allow you to adjust the intensity of heat that this grill produces. Rest assured, you won't have any problems with reaching high temperatures with this grill even when you use it in a windy weather.

So far, it appears that simple gas grills like this one get higher ratings from us because we put more emphasis on basic functionality such as cooking performance over those fancy features that are useful, yes but not necessary. 

Overall, this grill does not fail in providing ample amount of heat for cooking - therefore you can rely on this grill anytime, anywhere to cook your food.
