 Best BBQ deals for July 2025

Our pick: Tower Kamado Maxi (T978531)

*Average price in the past six months: £377. Cheapest price in the past six months: £200

Tower Kamado Maxi charcoal barbecue
  • Charcoal fuel
  • Weighs 33.5kg
  • 34cm grill diameter

We like: Simple controls

We don’t like: Heavy 

With their instantly recognisable design, Kamado-style barbecues have become popular in recent years. This one from Tower is capable of grilling, smoking, baking and searing.

It’s mostly made from ceramic and has a chrome-plated steel grill and wooden handles. There’s a useful temperature gauge on top of the lid, and air vents that help you to control the heat when cooking – though these are on the small side. It’s supplied with a fabric cover that provides some protection from the elements when not in use.

The grill is hinged to make it easier to add more fuel, and it has a removable circular cooking grate in the middle where you can place a wide range of additional accessories, including a pizza stone, chicken roaster or wok. The tripod base has two wheels for moving it around.

How to spot a good BBQ deal

Chris Brookes, Which? BBQ expert

Chris Brookes, Which? BBQ expert, says:

'You're often more likely to get a good barbecue deal when the grilling season is coming to a close, towards the end of the year. Even if you can't wait until then, it's always worth checking out our Best Buys to ensure that you're investing in a high-quality BBQ that will last you for many summers to come.'

 Pizza oven deals

VonHaus Outdoor Pizza Oven

*Average price in the past six months: £140. Cheapest price in the past six months: £110

Vonhaus Outdoor Pizza Oven
  • Wood-fired; wood pellets only
  • Weighs 11.5kg
  • 11-inch maximum pizza size

We like: Light and easy to carry

We don’t like: Fairly limited pizza size

This is a simple wood-fired oven that uses wood pellets for fuel. There's a handy chute for pouring in extra pellets, so you won't have to fiddle around to remove the fuel grate when it's burning. A detachable metal handle comes included for opening and closing.

The fuel grate itself isn't very large, so it needs regular topping up. When we paused tending the flames to prep our first pizza, they had died right down before the food was ready to go in. This wasn't too problematic, though, as the flames soon crackled back into life once we'd added more pellets.

Is the VonHaus Outdoor Pizza Oven both cheap and cheerful? Find out in our guide.

Joel Bates, Which? pizza oven expert

Joel Bates, Which? pizza oven expert, says:

'While cheap pizza oven deals can be tempting, there’s essential equipment you need for cooking pizza in your oven – such as a pizza peel and an infrared thermometer. Factor in the extra cost before you part with your money, or choose pizza oven bundle deals that include the essential kit.'

Our guide to the best pizza ovens will ensure you always get the most mouthwatering results. 

 Solar garden light deals

Our pick: Lumify USB Solar Vintage Bulb Lights

*Average price in the past six months: £63. Cheapest price in the past six months: £51

Lumify USB Solar Vintage Bulb Lights - set of 20
  • 20 lights
  • 14.4 metres long
  • Warm white light

We like: Shine all winter

We don’t like: Wide distance between each light

These traditional-style plastic bulbs look sophisticated, and they're also tough. In our tests, they survived bumps, bashes and extreme weather conditions.

Each bulb has a tiny hole drilled into the bottom to allow any water to drip out – an excellent design feature. The bulbs on other lights we tested tended to fill up with water over time.

How to spot a good solar garden light deal

 

Matt Knight, Which? solar garden light expert

Matt Knight, Which? solar garden light expert, says:

'Before looking for a deal, always check our reviews to make sure you buy lights that will last several winters and not turn into an expensive mistake. Deals can be hard to find in the spring and summer, so if you're hunting for a bargain, it may pay to wait until autumn or winter.'

We've been testing continuously in all weathers for five years to find the best solar garden lights.

Ice cream maker deals

Our pick: Cuisinart Gelato and Ice Cream Maker 

*Average price in the past six months: £235. Cheapest price in the past six months: £160

Cuisinart Gelato and Ice Cream Maker
  • 1.5-litre capacity
  • 23 x 29 x 56cm (HxWxD)
  • Also makes frozen yoghurt, gelato and sorbet

We like: Can make a variety of frozen treats 

We don’t like: Has some niggles 

This automatic ice cream maker from Cuisinart will bring the look of an artisan ice cream parlour to your kitchen. It can make a variety of frozen goodies - it has two different paddles to take account of the different dairy content of ice cream versus gelato. There is no need to pre-freeze your bowl, either, as it freezes the bowl and whips your dessert at the same time.

We also appreciate the keep-cool function that will keep your homemade ice cream cool for an additional 10 minutes if the kids haven't reached the requisite level of frenzied ice cream anticipation when it's ready.
