The Grillbot $113. Though Grillbot, an automatic BBQ cleaner, does require users to lift a finger, it is only to depress a button that wakes up the device's CPU chip and, in turn, activates brush movement and controls speed and direction. A built-in LCD alarm and timer allow for programming cleaning times, and will either beep or scream, "I'm done with your dirty work, you lazy sack of cornmeal!" when the process is complete.
