Really cool advanced thermometer, but a bit more than I wanted and the basic thermometer function was a bit lacking.
1st- if you are primarily looking for a leave in meat thermometer for your grill or oven this is amazing. The probe snaps into the main controller for charging from regular aaa batteries included (but mine were dead upon arrival.) LCD display reads out battery strength as well as meat and ambient temperature. For meat, it needs to be a pretty large chunk to cover the probe sufficiently for accurate temperature readings. There is also an app available for your smartphone to save you from dragging along the main charger and display base- even though it is a very cool design. Everything works well- except- I most needed a thermometer that I could just grab and stick in meats, sauces or anything really for a quick read like my trusty old analog dial one. Trying to use this new remote probe for that is a bit awkward and it takes quite awhile for the probe to get up to the full temperature. I'll keep this for roasts and the like and pick up a basic dial style for all my other regular daily uses.
