One of the most discouraging parts of grilling out is the clean-up. Maybe you don't do it that often. But maybe you would if you had tools to make it easier, like a Grillbot (about $100), a battery-operated grill scrubber that works by itself - something like robot vacuum cleaners. Many homeowners love them; they also have an app now so that you can turn them on and off via your phone. You can also buy battery-powered, motorized, steam-cleaning grill brushes ($30-$40) – like Grill Daddy - that you push around the grate manually but that add extra oomph and cleaning power to the job.

Simply place the grillbot on your grill, press a button and you're done! The grillbot does all the grill cleaning for you. No more scrubbing! A grillbot is the easy-to-use and fun to watch — a fully-automated device that makes grill cleaning possible with just the push of a button.
I am a technology junkie. Whenever something new and interesting comes out, I can't wait to give it a try. When I heard about the Grillbot, and how it makes grill cleaning easier, I was very excited. Personally I hate cleaning the grill after cooking, and usually leave that one up to Hubs!!
The Grillbot is an extremely easy piece of technology to use. All it requires is a push of a button!! The Grillbot comes with three timed settings; 10, 20 and 30 minutes. Push once for 10 minutes, twice for 20 minutes, and three times for 30 minutes. Make sure you close the lid on your grill, and then off she goes.
Check out this fun video of the Grillbot in action I shot while looking through an opening on my grill.
Here is a picture of what my grill looked like before using the Grillbot.
Here is the after picture.
I used the Grillbot for 30 minutes. I think it did a pretty good job!! My grill is older, and well used. The Grillbot made a huge difference.
The one downside to the Grillbot that I have found is that there is no safety shut off. I opened the grill lid at one point and picked up the Grillbot while it was still running. It did not shut off. That makes me a little nervous when you have small children. I would make sure that you use the Grillbot when children are not around.
Other then that, I think the Grillbot is a great investment for any avid griller. It would make a perfect Fathers Day gift as well!!
brushes that pop off for cleaning and are dishwasher safe, and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which can be charged in an outlet.
The measurements for the Grillbot is 8-inches in diameter and 3.7-inches in height. It comes in black, blue, orange, and red, with some colors costing more than others. On the Grillbot official website, the bundle (pre-assembled Grillbot) goes for $139.95, or the regular package goes for $119.95 and replacement brushes costing $14.95. However, the Grillbot can be found for prices between $79 to $99.99 on other retailers, such as Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Lowe’s.
