Recommendations please, Baby Q or Ziggy?

I havent used a ziggy but i love my webber q

My Baby Q is 11 years old, the igniter 'went to god' last time I used it (last week).
I rang the company in SA yesterday, told them of my dilemma, gave them the serial number of my unit bearing in mind the igniter is only warranted for five years....in this mornings mail is a complete replacement igniter unit LESS than 24 hrs from the original phone call & TOTALLY free of charge....THANK YOU WEBER!

We love our Weber, ......from cooking meat/steaks, roasts, cakes, pizzas, bacon & eggs it's the bee's knees!

Not at all familiar with the Ziggy

You've started it Now
Weber Baby Q v/s Ziggy !

There are fanatics on both camps, some swear at the Ziggy camp and some swear at the Baby Q camp.

I had the standard Pensioner Pack High Lid Baby Q Weber and couldn't get a steak to Sear ( texas style - fully seal the outside ) and I don't like stewed meat at BBQs !!!!!
I got a Ziggy and Man the difference!
Steak fully Texican'd and bbq'd to perfection.
The Ziggy is heavier than the Weber but with the single burner and it's fold under lid to me it was a better deal
Only thing I did extra to the Ziggy as to carefully mark and drill extra holes so the lid could be left half open as a wind deflector .

I have 2 q’s. A baby in the camper and a family at home. As above, their after sales is second to none, as are the construction materials. I’d happily go the same again. I have no experience with the Ziggy so cannot comment which will be best for you.

Have you seen this?Q versus Ziggy review

Ziggy on special at the moment, but nil stock at present. Expected to arrive in Melb. around 10 - 12th this month . My wife has done her research & we will be purchasing the Ziggy pay now & pick-up when stock comes in at the specials price. Only problem we're going away on the 12th so won't get it until we come home. I like the idea of more heat as I don't like BBQs with the lid closed, it's not a BBQ but baked imo & it packs away smaller

Another vote & happy owner of the baby Q . Not only a great bbq to cook on but very easy to clean inside and out aswel already mentioned after sale service.
We would cook on ours 3/4 times a week on average over many years .

I wouldn't go either.....both overpriced very small bbq.

I use a small stainless marine BBQ, has a rectangle shaped plate, which is all plate, so you can cook eggs etc on .....for $200.

I had the midsize Webber q with the high lid. Now have the small Ziggy.
Both good, but going the Ziggy gets a bit hotter and has a more even temp.

Thank you all for the replies. Food for thought, may come down to storage options. More thinking to be done.

I am looking at both at present as well, but I am leaning towards the Ziggy. The Q seems to need to be used with the lid closed where as the Ziggy is a lid open style of cooking. I prefer the bbq style. I am aware that you can use a BabyQ with the open lid, but friends of mine tell me the results are not as good.
Goodluck.

OK, whilst researching found this BBQ, has anybody got one, used one, considered one? TIA. BBQ

Or these, BBQ2

RTM have a marine bbq on sale atm. Sized to fit caravan boots but not mine unfortunately, I only have the two burner spinflo and not much else will fit.

Think I have a problem we have 3 Baby Q‘s in the family, obviously I vote Baby Q??
