I depend heavily on consumer ratings from individuals on Amazon, so I don’t always do my part to support the community with my ratings. Some products, like screw drivers, hooks, etc., are difficult to provide an in-depth rating; that is, it either works or it doesn’t. Very rarely do I find a product that just blows me away. Let me regress for a second. Whenever I am looking for a product on Amazon, I almost always look at the consumer ratings. Initially, I do not critically review the ratings, I just look at the ratio between the 5s and the 1s. If the number of 5s relative to the 1s is high, I assume the product is decent. If the ratio is low, if still interested in the product, I will delve a little deeper.
Until I purchased Diversey Oven and Grill Cleaner, I had tried a bunch of other products. Easy Off, Goo Gone Grill Cleaner, Zep Heavy-Duty Oven and Grill Cleaner, Carbona 2-in-1 Oven Rack and Grill Cleaner. Simple Green, carburetor cleaner, as well as some DIY concoctions. All these did alright; however, I would end up going through most of the can before the grill and grate were clean. The only product that I felt did a very good job, and much better than the products listed, was Carbon-Off Aerosol. The product is very expensive, so Only when I really need it do I splurge and buy it.
Fast forward to yesterday. I have a portable stainless-steel grill from Cuisinart that I cleaned about a month ago. The carbon was baked on. I sprayed it down with Easy Off, but it only made a small dent in the carbon. I ended up having to take the grill apart and cleaning what I could and soaking smaller parts in a vinegar solution to loosen up the remaining carbon. I used Carbon-Off on hard to clean areas. It was a two-day ordeal, working on the grill a couple hours here and there.
So yesterday, I decided the grill was needing another cleaning, so I sprayed the grill with Easy Off and allowed it to soak for about 8 hours. I tried removing the baked-on carbon using a wire brush, but it just didn’t do a very good job. The Easy Off had dried and was no longer effective. I had just received a box from Amazon containing the Diversey Oven and Grill Cleaner. I had purchased the product, which I had never heard of before, based on an online review from an organization I can’t even remember the name.
That evening, I sprayed the grill with enough Diversey Oven and Grill Cleaner to cover the grate and other parts of the grill with a thick layer of the product. When I sprayed the grill, it appeared to have a bubbling action. I forgot about the grill until 12 hours later and was worried that the product would have dried like Easy Off. It hadn’t. It was still very moist. I took a rag (not a wire brush) and the carbon just wiped off. I was amazed. I had never seen a product work as well as this one did. I sprayed the underside of the grate and other parts of the grill and let it soak for about four hours, and I got the same results. Incredible. Granted, there are still areas that will need a heavier cleaning, not that many. Also, while some of the caked-on grease was not removed the first time, it was not hard and dry, which has been the results from other cleaners. I am thoroughly impressed with the product and was in awe during the whole cleaning process. I can’t say enough positive things about it.
I decided to go back to the reviews for the product. I didn’t have to read the 5s, since I knew exactly what was conveyed. I reviewed the 1s, since I could not believe anyone would be that dissatisfied with the product. Consumers that rated the product a 1 did so because they couldn’t remove the top of the container. In their defense, the cap was difficult to remove, almost impossible; however, I reread the top of the cap, and realized that you needed to press the sides of the cap and turn. Once I did that, I could remove the cap easily with my weaker had. Some commented on the odor. The odor is strong but no stronger than Easy Off. I can’t understand how someone could rate a product a 1 because of their inability to remove the top. My suggestion is to remove the top with any means possible and do not put it back on. I have numerous paint cans without tops. I lose them all the time. Plus, the top has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the product. I assume that people just don’t care how a 1 rating for purchasing a product with an extremely tight-fitting cap impacts the manufacturer. Some commented that the product didn’t work as well as others, such as Easy Off. I don’t know what they were doing wrong, since this product is way more effective than others that I have tried. My suggestion would be to let it set for 4-6 hours for grills with heavy, baked-on grease and carbon. Don’t worry that the product will dry up, since that did not happen to me. I think you will be more than satisfied with the product, unless, of course, you can’t remove the cap.

Wish I took before shots....
I usually have reviews on here for lackluster or not. Great products so you can save your money, but this is one where I'm going to tell you to buy buy buy. I don't have a self-cleaning oven which is very annoying because I can no longer crawl in there like I used to and scrub away. This stuff required very little effort and had a very faint citrus smell. It says to leave on between 30 minutes and 2 to 4 hours depending on how bad your oven is, but I only gave it 15 minutes before I came back for a quick wipe to see how it was doing. It was freaking amazing. My rag was getting dark brown to Black from just a quick swipe across areas. Now. I will say that if you left it longer some of the more baked on things might come off better. And since some of this is left over from previous cleanings that were not fully completed, some didn't come off. That said, when I have more time I will come back and do another layer and try to leave it on longer. But this stuff really works and I'm glad I bought it. You should too. PS I stink at photography, but I tried lol. Edit: Update after a few days and a few more uses. This stuff doesn't "foam" unless you spray at very close range, and even then it's not what I'd call a thick foam. More like a wet, fast disapating bit of bubbles. The product doesn't have a strong scent but a mild citrus. That said, the propellant can hit you hard if you spray a lot and have to stay at close range. The product worked on 95% of what I threw at it so far, only failing to do much for the back of my ninja air fryer oven, but then I can't spray directly as the main fan is back there. Literally everything I sprayed the grease loosened up and just required a wipe down. The oldest layer I'd have to come back and spray again, way a few and wipe again. You know that one burner (front right) we all use? The bubble over that nothing would clean? This did. This oven is 8 years old, and it hasn't looked this clean since the day I bought it. My only gripe is that it seems to take an inordinate amount of rinsing. Every time I think I've got it all and it dries (or I dry it), I come back to a thick white film. Realizing that, I got another clean rag in case it wasn't rinsing clean enough.

It works amazing! Very little smell to the product and no heating the oven up. I have been trying to get my oven door window clean for years. This dissolved it all and it looks like new.

Love this product. Spray and wipe old burned grease off! Be careful, this staff can take some paints off and eats your skin, so need to use gloves. Otherwise does amazing job.
Great Product works as advertised. Recommend!
