Lotusgrill Original vs. XL: A detailed comparison

The main differences between Lotusgrill Original and XL explained

Philipp Buchmann

14.03.2024

When planning our annual camping trip, we have always considered whether to take the LotusGrill Original or the XL model for our group barbecues. The main differences between these two models, including their size, capacity and portability, influence our decision.

While the XL model with its larger grilling surface is suitable for larger groups, the Original model is perfect for lighter travel due to its compact design. Both have their unique advantages, so the choice is not an easy one.

Let's take a closer look at these differences and find out which model is best for different situations, keeping in mind the needs of outdoor enthusiasts and home cooks alike.

Key findings

The LotusGrill XL offers a 60% larger grilling surface than the original and can accommodate up to 10 people.
At 6.5 kg and £265.00, the XL is heavier and more expensive than the lighter and less expensive design of the original.
The XL requires more charcoal due to its larger size, but offers maximum heat retention and distribution for larger groups.
While both models are portable, the Original is more compact and ideal for small spaces, while the XL offers more color options and a higher cooking capacity.

Size and cooking surface

When comparing the LotusGrill Original and XL, the biggest difference lies in the size and cooking surface. The XL model has a 60% larger cooking surface than its predecessor, the Original. This increase in size translates directly into a larger cooking capacity, making it ideal for small to medium sized households or gatherings of up to 10 people. Measuring 435 mm at the top and 350 mm at the bottom, the XL offers a spacious cooking surface without compromising on space efficiency.

The XL's larger grilling surface allows more food to be cooked at the same time, making it a practical choice for anyone who frequently entertains or feeds larger groups. Despite its larger size, the XL is still portable and runs on 4 AA batteries, making it suitable for spontaneous outdoor events. This combination of increased cooking capacity and well-designed dimensions makes the LotusGrill XL an attractive option for anyone looking to enhance their barbecue experience without sacrificing convenience or space efficiency.

Price and weight

Looking at the LotusGrill Original and XL models, you'll notice that the XL is priced at over CHF 200, reflecting its larger size and enhanced features, while it also weighs more at 6.5 kg, striking a balance between portability and increased cooking capacity. The Original, on the other hand, is more cost-effective for those on a budget, and its lighter weight improves its portability, making it an attractive option for those who value ease of use and mobility.

When we examine the details, it becomes clear that there are trade-offs between the two models in terms of cost efficiency and portability. While the XL model is more expensive, it offers greater capacity and functionality for larger gatherings, which justifies its price. However, its heavier weight can pose a challenge for transportation and handling compared to the lighter original model.

Feature	LotusGrill Original	LotusGrill XL
The price	Lower	>200 CHF
Lightweight	Lighter	6.5 kg
Portability	Higher	Moderate
Cooking surface	Smaller	Larger

The choice between the LotusGrill Original and the XL model depends on individual requirements in terms of cost efficiency and transportability, with both models offering different advantages.

Fuel type and heat output

When looking at the fuel type and heat output, it is noticeable that the LotusGrill Original requires less charcoal than the XL, which requires more charcoal due to its larger size and cooking options. The Original model gets by with 150-200 grams of charcoal per pass, which emphasizes the efficiency of charcoal for smaller, more intimate gatherings or family meals.

In contrast, the XL model, with its larger dimensions and 60% larger grilling surface, requires more charcoal. This is a trade-off for the larger grill capacity, making it the first choice when hosting larger groups or cooking more food at the same time.

In addition, the design of the XL is not just for size, but also for maximum heat storage and distribution. This ensures that the food is cooked evenly despite the larger surface area - a sign of the XL grill's superior design for grilling larger quantities. Although both models differ in size and charcoal consumption, the basic principle of high heat output remains the same.

However, the XL is particularly suitable for those who want to entertain more guests, as it offers a higher cooking capacity without compromising the quality of the barbecue experience.

Color options and portability

When looking at the color options and portability, it is clear that both the LotusGrill Original and XL cater to different tastes and mobility needs. The LotusGrill Original's color palette of lime green, purple and yellow adds a cheerful touch to any outdoor space and reflects a vibrant design aesthetic. In contrast, the XL's colors, such as anthracite, green and blue, are more subdued but add an elegant touch to outdoor gatherings.

Both barbecues are characterized by user-friendly features and maintenance requirements that ensure durability and ease of use. For those who value mobility:

The compact LotusGrill Original is ideal for small spaces and traveling, and is easy to take to picnics or camping.
Despite its larger dimensions, the LotusGrill XL remains portable with a weight of 6.5 kg and is suitable for trips to the beach or medium-sized gatherings.
The larger grilling surface of the LotusGrill XL can accommodate up to 10 people without compromising portability.
The design and color options of both models match their user-friendly features and blend seamlessly into various outdoor environments while ensuring easy and hassle-free maintenance.

These features emphasize that both models meet different needs without neglecting the basic principles of portability and design aesthetics.

Frequently asked questions

What is the diameter of a Lotusgrill Xl?

We have found that the LotusGrill XL has an impressive diameter of 435 mm at the top, which significantly increases its grilling capacity compared to standard models.

This size comparison makes it clear that the XL version is suitable for anyone who likes to grill more food at once without sacrificing portability.

It is fascinating that the larger size does not come at the expense of transportability, making it a popular companion for our outdoor gatherings and family barbecues.

Can the LotusGrill be used indoors?

We cannot use the LotusGrill indoors due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It is designed for outdoor use where there is adequate ventilation. Failure to do so can lead to serious health problems, including respiratory problems or worse.

We must adhere to safety guidelines and ensure that we only use it in well-ventilated areas. This means that the LotusGrill must not be used indoors, however tempting that may be.

How does the LotusGrill work?

We've always wondered how the LotusGrill sparks our barbecue dreams without the smoky nightmare. It's all down to the magic of the grill design. Using a battery-powered fan, it breathes life into the charcoal and ignites it quickly and efficiently.

This innovative approach, combined with the smokeless function, ensures a virtually smoke-free experience. The grill's design channels the airflow to promote combustion while keeping grease drippings away from the charcoal, making every barbecue a breeze.

What type of battery does the Lotus Grill use?

We have found that our LotusGrill runs on 4 AA batteries, which is very convenient. With these batteries, we can grill for about 40-60 hours before we have to think about changing the batteries.

Although we're not talking about charging options here, the battery life is pretty impressive, so we can enjoy multiple grilling sessions on a single set of batteries.

It's all about making our outdoor cooking experiences effortless.

Conclusion

In summary, we've found that there's a LotusGrill to suit all requirements, whether you're gearing up for a solo adventure or a feast with the community.

The Original grill is the first choice for light, space-saving travel, while the XL grill is suitable for larger gatherings. Both are ready to go faster than you can say "fire up the grill", but the XL expands the invite list.

Price, weight and size aside, both models promise a smoky experience with a splash of color to boot. Whether you're barbecuing in the Shire or on the go, LotusGrill has everything you need.
