Great value and a hot cooker – Had for about 2 years and used about once a month. Keeps up great cooking heat and easy to clean. Great value and still looks good. I need a replacement Piezo lighter kit. Does anyone know where I can get one or have a spare I could buy off you. Thanks...Geoff Show details
I got mine second hand for free on gumtree Oct 2022, – Best mid sized bbq I've ever had, just needed a clean and it worked perfectly.
Good first BBQ, Great Value for Money – Has all the features of a WeberQ/Ziegler but is 1/3 of the price. Build quality is good. Picked mine up for $200 at Aldi. Does have some hot spots towards the back of the cooking area, but you get used to it.
A good buy or goodbye $200 – It all depends what u need. My machine will only heat to 150 centigrade so I can't control the cooking for quick food. If you want a slow cooked dinner it's ideal. Show details
Good value and it can roast – Bought one with a red lid from my local Aldi. They had 4 or them that hadn’t sold from Christmas so they marked them down to $89. A bargain at that price. Cooked a 1.7 kilo lamb roast yesterday for Australia Day. Cooked on indirect heat at 180 degrees celcuis for 100 minutes. Very succulent. Show details
Not discontinued but now a 3 burner with extra – G’day Now with a three burner and extra size. The middle burner is round and with the middle grill insert removed you can drop a wok into the Bbq. The wok rocks! The Two side burners enable you to cook indirect. Food on rack one side and burner going on the other. I’m a Weber Q user of 9 years so lid down cooking comes easy. Heat for ten mins lid… Read more
down put on your food turn the burners down. Can’t go wrong. Is capable of cooking lid up as well. Stand is robust enough but I use a wood bench instead which you can’t do with a lot of bbq of this size which are married to their stand. Easy to remove grills for cleaning and a quik scrap of the bowl to the grease tray. Wipe the outside when cold. Easy on gas still haven’t got through my first 8.5 kg bottle after a coupla months so expect it’s on par with the Qs. Can’t understand why you would worry about uneven heat distribution this bbq has 3 seperate burners a flat plate and open grill, enough to be able to cook most things Enjoy this grill
Great size as not much room required – Plates get hot unlike some that don't and simmer rather than seal. The compact size is what we were looking for. They are a little expensive however the quality appears good after two years use Show details
Good for the price – I bought this BBQ from Aldi about 8 months ago. It is supposed to be a equivalent to the Weber Q. It is easy to assemble and easy to use. It is very easy to burn the food, most of the time I can only use 1 burner for slow cooking otherwise the food will burn. It does its job and it is good value for money.
Ok for 8 sausages – I’m sorry (but) burners don’t cover the hot plate, causing hot and cold zones, seriously too small unless cooking for 1, mine was the rounded Webber baby q styled Aldi one, and under washing of hot plate and under the bbq covers lids the protective coating comes off. You could say I got what I paid for, maybe a bit worse. Show details
Easy to use and clean – The BBQ is easy to use and to clean. It is portable, in good size. Enough for a family of 4. Good price because we do not use the BBQ very often so I tend not to buy a big one, leave it at the back yard for sleep. Recommend. Show details
Better than expected – We needed a small barbie for our townhouse and couldn't afford to get the Weber Q we so dearly wanted. So, we took a gamble on this little Coolabah and we're damn glad we did. It's not perfect, it has its quirks (hotspots etc) but it serves as a really useful, practical gas barbecue with a really small footprint. And, despite its size, we've easily accommodated for 12 or so people with it on a number of occasions. Show details
Perfect – I am glad I bought this barbecue thank to my favourite supermarket chain - Aldi. We did our regular grocery shopping without intention to buy barbecue. As this 2 burner barbecue got our attention we did not hesitate. Does the job , doesn't take a lot of space and Aldi make it very affordable. Show details
Great value for money – Just purchased two 2 burner coolabah BBQs. One with a silver hood and one black for my balconies. For the price I am very impressed as I was considering a weber which was 3x the price. Unfortunately when I went to purchase another for a friend they were all sold out. Meat is meat and this bbq can cook. Show details
