Weber

Works well, easy to clean, very efficient, ticks most boxes other than keeping food warm but that is a compromise I can live with to have the benefits of other features.

It is a real pity that the screws used to assemble are not stainless and start to rust. Also the aluminium trays underneath to catch fat etc would be much better if they were stainless. These two items would add very little to the cost of an expensive BBQ but would add real value to the units after a couple of years outside.

Very efficient BBQ

major downside, surprisingly not mentioned, is no where to place food to be be kept warmed after cooking. Everywhere in BBQ is hot to very hot. Worth deduction of 10 to 20% when comparing other hooded BBQ's.

Well design, cooks well, doesn’t corrode.

Easy to use, cooks food beautifully especially pork roasts (they are to die for). For a relatively small unit a lot can be cooked at the same time.

Accessories are expensive.

18 months in, I still love my Weber. It cooks an ordinary BBQ really well (I've cooked for 2-12 without any trouble), and does lots of slow dishes really well too. Well worth the money.

You'll want to buy Weber accessories, which aren't cheap.

Great quality surface and excellent cooking

Cooks roasts better than the oven, the chicken has crispy skin and is juicy. Steak is amazing, the kids reckon it is like a restaurant cooked steak. Buy the extras and you can cook pizzas and smoke your fish. I bought the Q3200 with thermometer and a higher lid.

Cooks perfect every time, Easy to clean, Portable, Low on gas (I'm 12+ months in and still on the same bottle and we BBQ 2-3 times a week in the summer), You'll be surprised how much food you can cook on it! Roasting trivet is a must.

Flip-out side shelves don't hold that much weight
Roasting trivet should come included in the price

Cooked everything I’ve tried to perfection. Love the smoker for trout too. Steak, chops, pizza. Aewesome

Non I can think of. Even price compares well...

Works well before it rusts out

Rust. Even the aluminium cover rusts after 2 years (the paint comes off) As for the light holder that steel or iron has rusted through. We are about to throw it out.

Everything... I love my Webber, bought all the extras and have cooked everything on it from meats and vegetables (at the same time) to prawn dishes, rack of lamb, spare ribs.. with the pizza stone our pizzas are better than Hell. The size is small enough to take to the beach, but large enough for family and friends..

None that I can think of! :)

Best BBQ we've had, everything cooks amazingly. Great for big pieces of meat,steaks, sausages or roast veges. The breakfast tray is well worth the extra price.
We use it to cook most nights during the spring, summer and autumn.

I recently purchased a Q3200 from a Stihl shop. Mitre10 do not stock the Q3200 with higher lid and temp gauge. BBQ is absolutely amazing. No rusting parts, very fast - steak 3 mins each side and juiciest and most flavoursome steak I have ever tasted. Well worth the price.

Best BBQ I have ever had especially good for someone on their own.
Easy to use.
Heats up really fast.
Cooks awesome.

Learning to cook with the lid down is a bit of a curve but results produced are amazing. Worth trying the s/s veggie basket - superp results.

Not self cleaning ... no such thing really on a BBQ - no - there are no cons.

Very good
Like others said make sure you get high lid and gague. Over summer I cook nealry everything in it. Excellent results and easy to clean

None

Heats well
So versatile
Reasonable price compared with competition
High quality non rust

Smaller cooking area
Base difficult to clean, but no worse than others

Very easy to use once you get used to cooking with the lid down.
Great to clean compared to my old 3 burner cast iron gas element BBQ.
Very economical on gas we use ours at least once a week sometime 3 times including the 10 minute heat up we get an easy 6 month use from the gas bottle.

Make sure you buy the extras like the hot plate and trivet.

We have cooked a lot in this little beauty, make sure you get the one with the high lid and temperature gauge.
We brought ours from the weber direct that way you get the high lid and temperature gauge.
the temperature guage correct.
Heats up fast.
We cooked a rost port on xmas day and no problem no more sweating over a hot oven.

I can't think of any but if yolu buy yours from mitre 10 etc you will not get the extras and temperature guage etc

Super accurate temp control and gauge, get the high lid and temp gauge model.
Heats up in a jiffy, and gets hot!
Plastic and stainless - great for Auckland and coastal use.
I am a long time and fanatical BBQ user, have 3 in current use. Kent (v good) Masport 4 burner (V bad) an old Captain Cook stainless with a hood, about 25 yrs old - just will not die....
Bought myself a Christmas present Q3200 - sick of battling with Masport - Took a punt and cooked the Christmas Turkey in the Weber (against protestations.... ) It was awesome, - foody wife humbled!

Quality build, easy to put together, nifty extras but you do have to buy them.
Cooked potato wedges from raw, partially defrosted chicken breast, a very thick piece and some steak. The whole lot tasted amazing, especially the chicken breast, I went a little to long on the steak, operator error.
Easy clean

The side trays feel a little flimsy being plastic. A minor thing really.
Yip its a bit pricey for what you get, the quality and what it can do is well worth it.

Really nice quality, easy to use. Storage of not in use grill or flat plate is done beneath the BBQ as per instruction book

None

I'm not a BBQ fanatic but I love this BBQ. Food is tastes great, it is really easy to clean the cooking surface and because all the parts are either aluminum & plastic, it doesn't rust. Read the manual though - the BBQ is designed to work with the lid down, not continually poking the food with the lid up. And as someone else said; get one with a high lid & temperature gauge.

So easy to use that during kitchen renovations, even daughter and wife were confident in using it, even for baking and roasting. 10 mins on high and its ready to sear, Awesome for steaks with great grill flavour. Get the high top with temp gauge. Also get the flat plate which is an extra.

would be good that the bottom half was able to store extra's like the flat plate, I leave it on the grill when not in use, but when cooking, one of them has to be put somewhere.

So easy to cook on and clean. Make sure you get the one with the high lid and temperature gauge. not all Q models have these
