Grillbot is a cheap way to skip some scrubbing on a large lidded gas grill, and TechHive got good results on baked on residue. Reviews are mixed and old: Trusted Reviews found 30 minutes did about as much as two minutes with a scouring pad, so skip it if you have a small or open grill.
Best for: large lidded gas grills. Skip if: you have a small, open or low lid grill.

What independent reviewers found
- Cleaned months of baked on residue from a 36 in built in gas grill, but brass bristles missed the bottom of thick grates, needing a flip and a second 30 minute run, and it struggled on a griddle without crossbars.
- TechHive
- After a 30 minute clean the grill looked about as clean as 2 minutes with a metal scouring pad; it drove off a lidless grill and would not fit under a small grill lid. Verdict: a total waste of money.
