Over all I like the unit.
Pros:
1. It is accurate and works well. I tested it with boiling, tepid, and cold water against my expensive analog thermometer. No variance between leads.
2. Never lost connection and was easy to use. I got 250 feet no problem.
3. Lost connection alarm
3. Great length of leads. They are plenty long.
4. Stainless braided leads.
5. Batteries included!?!?!? (YES!)
6. Durable without being heavy. No need to worry about knocking it off a table or such.
Neutral:
1. Configuration is OK. Not hard but, not Intuitive. But if you read the instructions and made it past 6th grade you will have no problems.
2. Shape of the sensor leads. The crook is in there... Yeah... Humm. You need to turn them away from the grill to keep them from touching the grill. Strait would have been better, but I am sure they have some reason for not being strait. Meh... They work well. Just give them a twist away from the grill.
Cons:
1. Ports should be obviously labeled to indicate lead 1 or 2.
2. Grill clip is not very functional and hard to use. It slips around and really is not very useful. I am going to have to purchase a more functional one.
3. The clip on the back of the sensor is wonky. It hangs at a weird angle when hung on a handle or such.
4. Temp reached alarm is not very loud or adjustable.
5. Lack of lock on remote unit. Clip it on and go.. But do not bump it. You may just find that your rare steak is now well done. A simple lock function would take care of that.
6. No low temp alarm. Would have been nice to have a low temp alarm. But... for the price..... I can keep an eye on it.
Like it or not an honest review.
