13,800 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
The Kona 720 measures 17.5 x 4 x 10 inches and is built from stainless steel throughout. At 12 lb it is notably heavier than most grill brushes, which likely reflects a more substantial construction rather than a lightweight consumer build. The extra heft means this is not a tool you will wave around one-handed for extended sessions, but it does suggest a sturdy frame.
With over 13,800 reviews and a 4.1-star average, the Kona 720 has one of the largest buyer feedback pools in its category. A 4.1 at that scale means the positive responses comfortably outweigh negatives even with thousands of individual opinions factored in. The 100 or more monthly purchases confirm it remains an active seller rather than a product coasting on old ratings.
At $21.95 the price is firmly mid-range. You are getting an established brand, stainless steel construction, and a proven sales history for under $25, which is a solid value proposition for regular grillers.

Frequently asked questions
Why is this brush so much heavier than other grill brushes at 12 lb?
The listed 12 lb weight is unusually high for a hand-held brush and likely reflects either a weighted base, a large bristle head assembly, or a robust steel frame construction. For reference, most grill brushes weigh under 2 lb. If weight is a concern for your use case, confirm the actual tool weight against recent buyer mentions before purchasing.
Does stainless steel bristle construction work on all grate types?
Stainless steel bristles are effective on cast iron and stainless steel grates. On porcelain-coated grates, use lighter pressure to avoid scratching the coating, and inspect the grate surface periodically. If your grates already show porcelain chips, a bristle-free scraper-style cleaner may be a better choice to avoid catching loose pieces.
How often should I clean my grill grates?
A quick brush after each cook while the grates are still warm removes most residue and makes deep cleaning less frequent. For gas grills, burning off residue on high heat for a few minutes then brushing is a common routine. Charcoal grill owners often brush before lighting the next cook to remove ash-mixed debris from the previous session.
