The LCD display, digital controls, and adjustable temperatures are all great features of both models. The removable and reversible dishwasher-safe nonstick cooking plates are also a plus. However, the GR-6S has a Smokeless Mode feature that is preset for food groups including beef, poultry, fish, and pork. It also has a fold-out front foot extension and an additional top plate position for grease drainage. These features make the GR-6S a better option for those who want to grill without creating any smoke.
