    Used the GrillWizz for the first time last weekend. Got most of the fresh stuff off fine, but the old baked-on grease spots barely budged on low speed. Did I just need to crank it up higher or is this thing more for light maintenance?

    I’ve got one and honestly, the low speed is pretty much useless for anything stuck on. I just run it on high and it handles the baked-on stuff fine, just takes a little longer than the fresh mess.

    I usually run mine on high right from the start and the baked-on stuff comes off way easier after a quick spray of water. Low is basically just for a light touch up.

    I’d probably just stick with the high setting from the start if you’re dealing with old buildup. Low seems like more of a light touch-up mode to me.

    It’s not a big deal. Just run it on high and it’ll get there. Low speed is basically for dusting, not for burnt stuff.

    High does the trick for me on the stubborn stuff. I just hit it with a bit of water first and it cleans up fine.

    I think the high setting is way better for that kind of thing, but I still had to go over some spots a few times to really get them clean. Not totally sure if it’s meant to handle super thick buildup in one go though. Works fine for me after a bit of patience.

    High works fine for me. I barely ever touch the low setting, just crank it up and it gets the job done.

    Oh I think it’ll handle it fine once you get a feel for it. I sort of just let mine work a bit longer on the rough spots and it comes around.

    High is definitely the way to go for that old stuff. I think the low setting is just for a quick once-over between cooks.

    Huh, I haven’t had that issue with mine yet but I honestly only use it for regular cleanups after cooking, not the deep baked-on stuff. I think if you let it sit for a while before trying, it might not matter which speed you use.

    I kinda wonder if the low setting is more for just keeping things tidy between cooks. I don’t have one yet but I’ve been looking at them and figured the high setting is where the real scrubbing happens.

    High works fine. Took me a couple passes on the really nasty spots, but it got there. Not a big deal.

    It’s not a big deal. Just run it on high and give it a couple passes. Works fine.

    High speed is pretty much what you’d expect for the baked-on stuff. It’s not magic, but it gets there with a few passes. Not really a big deal.

    High does the job, just takes a bit of elbow grease even with the motor running. Not a miracle worker but it handles it.

    Crank it to high. Low is useless for anything but light dust.

    I just use high from the start, even on fresh grills. Low seems like it’s there for battery saving more than anything else.

    Low speed is basically just for light dust like you said. I pretty much only use high and it handles the baked-on stuff without much fuss.

    Low speed is just for light stuff, you definitely need to run it on high for the baked-on gunk. It handles it fine, just takes a couple of passes.

    High works, but it still needs some physical effort. Not a miracle tool.

    The title made me laugh because I had the same thought the first time. It definitely prefers fresh messes over old ones. Still, I get why people like it for regular upkeep.

    Parker, crank it to high and give it a couple of passes like the others said — that's the honest answer. One thing I'd add that nobody's mentioned: don't lean into it hard on old spots, let the brush do the work and keep it moving, because pressing down just bogs the motor and doesn't speed anything up. And if your grates are coated rather than bare steel, go easy — the stainless head can scratch those.
