Matador Titan 900 series after 5 years – Great BBQ, only 1 or 2 negatives, the rear burner is no good and I need to replace it, it is difficult to clean the fat tray. That being said great bbq for the dollar you pay. Show details

Worst BBQ ever. You can't regulate the heat, its either high or high. Rang Matador and told them the issue, their reply was pretty much we don't know… Read more
how to cook on a BBQ (we have 20+ years of experience). Took videos and pictures and sent to them - no reply and ignored us.
Matador Palladium BBQ Range

Don't buy because of the smoke box – I am sure there are some good features. I bought it because of the built in smoke box but it is absolutely useless! Show details
Matador Edge BBQ Range

- Number of Burners/Zones 3 to 6
This is literally the biggest con- bought this from Bunnings, 80% of the way through assembly I had regrets but needed a bbq for a party. Internals… Read more
rusted to nothing even though under cover Regulator is a cheap piece of rubbish that has issues and slows down flow preventing the bbq from heating up at random times. Side shelf and wok burners sag I see now that it’s been discontinued- No S#1T , stay away from the brand
Matador Tempo 3 Burner
- Price (RRP) $649
- TypePortable
- Number of Burners/Zones 3
Probably not a great choice – We purchased this to use at a holiday home and we’re looking for something not too large and a known brand. We did a little research but couldn’t… Read more
find any of this specific model on display. That was a mistake.
Assembly was a little tedious but not too bad. The instructions were a little lacking but we got there in the end.
The design has a number of flaws.
Firstly, the cooking area is comprised of 1 hotplate (which sits in the middle) and 2 grills (sitting on each side). There are 4 largish drain holes on the grill and it is VERY easy to lose items down them while cooking. We expected that ½ the cooking surface would be a hotplate and ½ would be grill. The ⅓ hotplate is just adequate for preparing a meal for 2 people.
Secondly, the front of the BBQ is covered by a plastic sheet which seems to serve no purpose other than to advertise Matador. It prevents easy front access to the bottom shelf. I am considering removing it.
Finally, and mostly due to the aforementioned plastic sheet, to turn the gas bottle off you need to reach down and around it. Don’t try to do this immediately after cooking as you WILL burn yourself unless you are careful.
Matador Spark BBQ Range
- TypeFreestanding
- Number of Burners/Zones 2 to 6
This BBQ produces inadequate heat and/or does not distribute the heat evenly to use to roast a chicken. The inbuilt thermometer struggles to get to… Read more
200c. I suspect it is inaccurate as even a very small chook takes over an hour and a half to cook (I use a bluetooth temperature probe to monitor doneness). Critically the chicken does not brown AT ALL so although it is cooked it looks really unappetising as the skin remains a pale pinky white.
Matador Ignite+ 6 Burner Gas BBQ
- TypeFreestanding
- Number of Burners/Zones 6
The worst BBQ we have ever bought faulty rear burner, it was advertised as having a grease container but that was wrong it smokes way more than normal we have to have 3 fans blowing everytime we have a BBQ si unenforceable
