The Costco model is the same thing with added "smart" feature where you can choose the type of protein and level of doneness, and it'll do everything else automatically including tell you when to flip.

Good to know. I'm a seasoned cook and probabaly wouldn't find it useful, just more buttons. A little bummed I don't get to try it out and what i might be missing. Might be good for most people. Don't know.

Thanks for clarifying. I was going a little nuts every time I thought about the two models.

I have this and it's pretty good! Only issue is for the grill, it only functions when the lid is closed - not that I shouldn't have known that but for those who think this may be a cool alternative for like Korean bbq, it's not going to be. But it grills well and is a good air fryer too!

I didn't think about that (yet). Too bad, that should be a mode they add. Maybe I'll pre-heat the grill part then move it to a hot cast iron pan and try.

I wonder if they have a normal korean grill top that can be put in to a 12" cast iron pan. Off to google I go.

Can anyone advise how important the temperature probe is? Looks like that is the only difference between this model (Pro) and the regular 5-in-1 that is currently 169.99 at Kohls (169.99 - 15% = 144.49 after coupon), plus add a $6 filler to get $45 in kohls cash.

I'm trying to decide the the smart probe is important enough to get that model instead - the savings (especially factoring in the kohls cash) are more valuable on the Kohls (non-Pro) model.

Thanks in advance

We got one last Christmas when the temperature probe was a pretty big price difference so we got the one without. (I think it was at least $50 more) Overall My husband loves the gadget but really wishes we had the built in thermometer. : ( He's over cooked a few steaks as it seems to cook much faster than the settings/timer. He lifts the lid to take the temp and that stops the machine. We purchased this one from the post to gift his son so he doesn't have the same issues. I have no idea how accurate it will be, but with a minimum price difference I'd recommend it!

Can anyone confirm if this can toast bread and bagels well? Thinking of replacing my toaster oven with this...

This one looks like it does browning a notch better than the XL. XL only seemed to do flat ribs better. Look at youtube videos that compare the two. Don't know her name, but a older chunky black woman on youtube does a great job by comparing the two.

For 10$ more would get the Costco model which is newer as it shares the "smart" functions that have been updated on the XL version this year.

I toast bread using the bake option and set it to 325-350 degree (depends on how toasty you want it to be) for around 4-7 min. And I don't have to flip it.

I could be wrong, but looking closely at this one and the Costco model, I think they're exactly the same, just with the buttons moved around. It's all the same buttons, except one on this model that says "Probe" and one on the Costco version that says "Preset/Manual", which I suspect do the same thing.

Out of curiosity I tried using this a couple of days ago cooking korean bbq. I set it up on my dining table and have all the meats on a side table. Set it to the highest grill option and it cooked pretty fast once it's hot. Yes, it's a little bit awkward that I had to open and close the lid but it's doable. No smoke and less smell than my old grill. The thing is I live in a small apt, not a lot of storage, so I want to maximize the function of things I have.

And it's a different SIZE.
