I am knocking off one star simply because there is a design flaw, but it is easily overcome.

When you close tight the fill cap, there is no where for air to enter the handle to allow the water to flow out.

If you remove the cap, it works great, tho I may simply drill a small air hole into the handle somewhere. I am afraid of just loosening it as it may fall into the hot grill during use.

It is better than spashing water with a cup because it releases a small amount of water at the exact moment of the brush's contact with the grill. You may get similar effect by dipping a SS brush into water each and every stroke, but that sounds like a lot of work as well.

I simply clean the grill while it is still hot just after cooking and even between batches if I see a need. It only take a few seconds and is much easier than turning it on later just to clean it or leaving all that gunk on there until you next want to grill something (and then waiting for it to re-heat again). The added bonus is that it cools down the grill that much faster so I can put the top on again that much sooner.

I have tried many different methods and before this, I had settled on one of those grill cleaning bricks (which, in turn, I had to clean every month or so with a SS scrubber and soapy hot water)

One reviewer of the pro suggested it melted onto the grill. Since SS does not melt, I suspect he was pushing so hard the grill bars went past the bristles and touched the base. There is no need to push that hard at all. Either that or he cleans it with the high flames still on and they reach the plastic. Turn down/off the flames just before using it.

I like that the removeable brush is held into place with a wingnut because other removable heads I have had, had problems with the brush slideing out of the handle while I was using it.

The pro gets better reviews and may be a better design, but this was an impulse buy for me at BBB with one of their 20% off coupons.

But then again, the Pro seems like a two handed device, while this only requires one handed use, which I think I prefer.

My wife is always looking for ways to make me more helpful around the house. She knows I hate to clean the grill even though I use it a lot. I got tired of buying steel brushes to clean the grill and have them all gummed up in a few weeks. She bought me the Grill Daddy and I finally got around to trying it and it works pretty good. You have to turn the grill on high and you load the Grill Daddy with about a cup of water and you go to work. The water on the hot grill turns to steam and it got my grill looking like new. Now, it didn't help me with all the other cleaning that I had to do on my Webber gas grill. I still have to spend a Saturday afternoon taking care of all that is below the grill. However, I know I can get the grill clean in a relatively short period of time. I only used it once and I know it came with an extra set of brushes but I don't think that these brushes will gum up all that soon. (Especially since I don't clean the grill that often). However, I couldn't help but see all the gunk on the grill fall away into the drop pan rather than sticking to the brush.

I won this product at my Company's secret Santa Christmas party. I was hesitant on how well it would work given it's an "as seen on TV" product. However, it works better than any grill brush I've ever used. The brush has 3 small holes located where the bristles are, so as you brush your grill, the movement of the brush causes water to leak out the holes onto the grill. The water helps to steam away cooked on food, and then the brushes scrap it off. It works wonderfully and gets my grill perfectly clean for the next meal. Just make sure you let your grill pre-heat to about 400 degrees, then in about 15 seconds of scrubbing with this brush, it's perfectly clean and ready to use. I would highly recommend this product.

DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

I should've known better than be seduced by an infomercial, but its been a while since I let myself be taken, so I guess I was due. This is nothing more than a cheap, plastic handle connected to a standard steel grill brush, with about 3 holes in the head so water can drip out. The plug for the water hole doesn't fit, and the seams on the plastic look like they could spring a leak any second. The website says "safe for all grills" but my manufacturer specifically says NOT to use steel brushes on my grill. I followed the instructions and preheated my grill. This didn't work any better than a regular brush. Plus, I paid $19.95 for shipping! (My own, fault, I know). For a product advertised at $14.95. Plus, when you order off the web page, the default is to the higher-priced, "deluxe" version & I had to go back & start over when I realized it. Someday, someone may come up with a quick, easy way to clear a grill, but this is NOT it. Save your money. (I had to give it one star or my review would not be accepted. Amazon needs to allow for giving something NO stars.....)

Doesn't operate as advertised! Water did not flow freely out of it and it had little more effect on my grill than a normal grill brush. Would not recommend to anyone.

I had gotten so sick of the mess of trying to clean my little Weber gas grill. This cleaner does the job! All you have to do is heat up the gill and put water in the end. I could not believe the stuck on, grilled on food it took of with no effort! I am very happy I bought this product. It will save me lots of time on clean up of my grill!

This brush is superb! Does an awesome too good of a job with its steam cleaning tech inside the handle and brush. Works great and gets the rough and tough off the grill! Highly recommended for grill cleaning.

This product actually works! You have to use a little elbow grease; but i wouldn't expect anything less! All the grime comes right off! I would definitely recommend this product!

This is the best tool I have ever used to clean my grill. First of all, it works brilliantly with little effort. Second, it works without chemicals or environmentally harmful substances. I have given it as a gift to many people and they all have the same reaction as I have.

We got one of these from the local Big Box store about a year ago. I expected it to another lame piece of junk, but it was so inexpensive we said "why not".

We've been stunned how well this little gizmo works. Grilling used to start off with the really gross process of cleaning the grills, which often made me skip grilling altogether because I just didn't want to deal with it. Now, it's a simple, quick process and we're grilling ten times as much as we used to.

One day, when it breaks, I sure hope they still make them. I'm on Amazon today to get a replacement brush (that's a very nice feature), maybe I'll go ahead and buy some more now.
