I bought a matador about 2 years ago no most of the parts inside are rusty but the cabinet is still good. I can not get spare for them, I tried bunnings no luck ...what a waste of money. I would not recommend the Matador after my experience. Matador should improve on their product and after sale service
The dial for the separate side burner is second from the right and not far right (side burner is far right). As a result the hood to the side burner began to burn and melt. It is a poor design on this BBQ. The knobs should be better labelled and positioned to prevent damage, injury or burns.

I purchased my Matador BBQ from Bunnings in Malaga about 4 years ago. I liked the look of the granite side tops and the stainless steel finish. At the time I was under the impression that I was buying a good quality BBQ that would last me for many years. The Matador BBQ looked long lasting but is not. I now wish I had done a little research before buying this product.
The first thing I did not like about this product is the design of its hood. If this BBQ is positioned in front of a wall there must be at least 175mm of clearance between the...
Read more wall and the BBQ to prevent the hood from hitting the wall when it is opened. This gap of 175mm is large enough for a small child to wander behind the BBQ and get stuck. It is also a waste of space on my entertaining area. Other things I don't like is the quality of the flimsy stainless steel on the exterior of this BBQ. As the day heats up the stainless steel end panel would expand making a loud banging noise. As the day cools down the panel contracts making another banging loud noise. The poor quality interior steel of this BBQ has started to rust away even though I live many kilometres from the beach and have always kept it undercover. The burner protectors have also started to rusted away. Even the stainless steel doors and panels are showing rust spots. I didn't even know stainless could rust until now. The rotisseries rear burner ignition pulse starter failed within the first six months. Bunnings does not stock spare parts for the Medator, replacement parts must be ordered through Bunnings special orders department. I couldn't be bothered waiting for a replacement part, so I sourced a similar part elsewhere.
