How we rate barbecue brands

Our review compares barbecue brands on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which barbecue brand they think is best!



Canstar surveyed 455 Australians for their feedback on the barbecue brand(s) they’ve purchased and used in the last two years.
  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via PureProfile’s accredited online research panel.



Respondents rate their satisfaction with their barbecue brand(s) from zero to 10, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Value for money: How satisfied are you with the value for money of your barbecue (e.g. the quality and longevity of the unit for the price paid)?
  • Performance: How satisfied are you with the overall performance of your barbecue (e.g. how evenly and effectively it heats, and how quickly it reaches and maintains your desired cooking temperature)?
  • Design: How satisfied are you with the design of your barbecue (e.g. its appearance, how well it fits your outdoor space, and the quality of its build and materials)?
  • Ease of use: How satisfied are you with how easy your barbecue is to use (e.g. simplicity of ignition, ease of controlling heat across burners, and how straightforward it is to set up and pack away)?
  • Features and functionality: How satisfied are you with the features of your barbecue (e.g. number of burners, side burner, hood, or rotisserie) and how well they contribute to its cooking performance?
  • Ease of cleaning: How satisfied are you with how easy your barbecue is to clean (e.g. ease of removing and cleaning the grill plates, grease management, and accessibility of the drip tray)?



The winner is the brand Aussies rate highest for the things that matter most to customers, based on overall satisfaction. To see how we crunch the numbers, check out our methodology page.
