Looks interesting, but without a video seeing it in action I would never think twice about buying it. A dozen pretty pictures does absolutely nothing to instill confidence or interest in the product.
- How does it operate? By hand or like a robot vacuum cleaner? - Does it sound like a cheap wind-up toy? - Does it apply any real pressure to the grill, or just scrape superficial gunk off the top surface only? How does it deal with the stuff between the grills? - How do you clean it?
For those in the world can't / won't be going to see it at a show, a video is the >minimum< we'd need to decide its a 'must-have'. I'm surprised even their website gives no information on the product.
It degrades gizmag's reputation to display products like these without providing anything more substantial than a simple text description. You should be slamming them for not providing a video if they ever want to generate real interest.
Or perhaps a video would convince most people not to buy it?

Here you go DouginOz . . .

Looks like a wonderful idea! Where do we go for trade inquiries?

Omg, I had no idea it was that big! Now it makes sense. I can easily imagine throwing it in after a BBQ and closing the lid - on the mess, effort, and interruption.
Now if someone could invent a little cleaner-cleanerbot!
thanks for the vid btw - I'll buy one when they come to Oz

This is cool, good on this guy.
i think there is definately a market for it, I would buy one, and i dont think the price is to much if you have a real nice bbq.

Nope. Just scratches from what I can see. 30 seconds of a real brush on a still-warm grill and $100 to buy ribs with.

A fool and his money...

In the video, the before and after is two different grills. Probably just an example, but not ideal in a video.
I wonder if it's any good on ceramic grill surfaces.

nice idea, but if the grill bot uses the fine brass bristles the the brass wire can come off and get stuck on the grill and when you use it it has a chance to make it to the food and bad news for your digestive track.... lot of people go to the hospital each year because of that ..... good luck i prefer to heat the grill to hi heat and use a pumice stone to clean...

Wishing the entrepreneur all the best, but as it's half the size of my $10 cast iron hibachi I'll have to give it a pass. Agree with the question about how one cleans the bristles... trading one thankless chore for another? "Kids! Come soak and clean these for Dad." I'd be curious how much replacement bristles will cost. They look pretty substantial and considering the beating they'll take and the cost of replacements for anything these days, an avid Kiss Me Cook could quickly go broke over a long hot summer. Finally, the close-ups of said bristle wheels suggest that someone would probably break a tooth before they accidentally swallowed a chunk of those surprisingly thick "bristles," so I don't think they're the threat fine wire bristles on hand-held scrapers can be. OTOH, if you did swallow a sharp chunk thinking it was just a piece of bone from the cheap mechanically-picked cow meat, well, that might indeed do some damage.
