1.0 out of 5 stars Short Lifespan, July 30, 2006

Well, I used this device (sorry Amazon, purchased from a local store) for about a month. After 4 uses, the thermometer only reads from 350-450 which is clearly a false read. Turns out the probe is the most likely culprit as the wires in the probe overheat and short out. Can't find a replacement probe anywhere, but am hoping that a replacement probe from another product will work.

If you buy it, take great care that the probe wires stay away from heat or hot metal.

Yep, a real waste of your money. Batteries in both the base unit and the remote come unseated -- even when battery compartment is closed. Once I figured that out, then the two units wouldn't establish a wireless connection. I think this actually worked twice for me.

I picked one of these up at a discount for about $5 at Marshall's (sorry Amazon, didn't know they existed until I saw it there) on a whim. It works great! Other reviews I've read indicate that pinching the probe wire in the grill or subjecting it to too much heat, usually through direct contact with a grill grate or flame, can irreparably damage them, but if you take that into consideration and take some basic steps to avoid either issue, no damage will occur. I've used this on steaks, burgers, and even this year's Thanksgiving turkey. Flawless operation and I didn't have to wonder about a stupid pop up timer failing and causing the turkey to overcook. I've had minor battery fit issues, but with a little fiddling they are fine. I've never had a connection issue. Turn on the base, turn on the handset, away you go. If you turn the handset on first it might cause problems.

All in all, for the price, this can't be beat.
