Best Gasmate BBQs

Incorrect fitting – Gas fitting is incorrect as hose won't connect to it. Even the bloke at Bunnings acknowledged the issue and accepted the return and refunded. Gasmate… Read more

said they've looked into the issue and can't find a problem. I suggested that they send their sales representative to my local bunnings store to inspect the faulty item because there's obviously a faulty batch in circulation. No further replies from them. Disappointed.

DO NOT BUY the Odyssey 2 - unless you like poor workmanship and quality control. Bought this to replace our aging 6 burner Matador as we are now… Read more

only, as soon as I unpacked it, I knew I was in for a frustrating time.

1. Contents packing list is wrong. It listed items which were not to be found because they had been pre-installed, clips to hold the lid on (searched everywhere) nuts to hold the wheels on were already on the axel.

2. The assembly instructions show you how to attach the lid/hood ( it was already attached).

3. It describes how there are 4 pre-installed screws and which need to be loose. However the bits which should be attached only have 2 keyholes so you have to remove the pre-installed screws for 2.

4. Trying to refit 2 of the screws the threads were damaged in the socket - I had to go to Bunnings to by 2 x M6 12mm screws as the 15mm were not able to be screwed in the whole way.

5. Fitting the axle was a joke, its tapered, not intentionally, just poor quality. I got it fitted and attached a wheel, so far so good. The second wheel the hole to the axle was not only off-centred, it didn't fit because the axle was thicker at this end. I had to drill out the hole in the wheel to get it to fit.

6. The little plugs to fit and cover screw holes are another joke, The holes are not centred and the hole too big so the plugs fall out.

7. The cutout to take a standard gas bottle (8.5/9Kg) is too small so you can't place the gas bottle underneath; you have to leave it to the side. You can't place it on the solid shelf to use as the heat shield is on the wrong side.

Overall the design is OK, but the quality of the components are awful.

No I don't recommend this product unless you love frustration.

Pretty good BBQ overall – I've had this since before Xmas. It does a pretty good job. Much harder to put together than I'd expected and the finish isn't excellent (sides don't… Read more

line up perfectly). It does cook evenly and the slide out gas bottle holder is a nice touch. Feels a little cheap for the price. Fairly easy to clean. The 240V lights are good for cooking at night.

Great BBQ. Avoid the fridge – We've had our Gasmate Galaxy BBQ for 3 years now. For BBQing it's great and excellent quality. The double door fridge on the other hand I do not… Read more

recommend. When we received it the display was faulty which was replaced. After 3 years the fridge failed. The circuit boards that control this fridge fail often according to a few fridge repairers. I've now been told I have to wait 2 months for the part and at a cost of $650. The fridge only has a 2 yr warranty. Not happy
