I bought this unit (TP07)on my own dime for personal use, and later received one of the TP-11 as a gift. I use these digital food thermometers for smoking, barbecuing, and sometimes baking on my wood-pellet grill.
This is a 2 part unit – the standard wired digital thermometer with probe, along with a wireless receiver unit (the one with multiple buttons) that displays the temperature and allows for setting of timers and target temperatures.
Overall: I’m very happy with both the TP-11 and TP-07. I found them both to be accurate, intuitive to use, well made, and with quite good instructions. I could find my way through the functions without the instructions – which demonstrates both the relative simplicity of operation but also the thoughtful layout. I found both units to be well worth the extra $10 or so to get the additional wireless capability. So much heat it lost with each opening of the grill or oven, and this unit really helps me adhere to the mantra of smoking and slow-cooking: If you're lookin', you ain't cookin'!
Positives:
• The product was packed well and came with batteries for both the home unit and the receiver (4 AAA total).
• Instructions easy to follow and understand.
• The home unit has a stowable stand that allows it to sit next to the grill. The number display size isn’t huge, but I found that I could read it while sitting about 8-10 feet away.
• The receiver has a rotatable belt clip that also serves as a stand. I liked that the top of the metal clip was formed such that the unit rests flat when laid on its back.
• The units found each other and connected within seconds of inserting the probe and turning both on.
• All the USDA temperature guidelines are pre-programmed… select your meat (ground beef, ground poultry, beef, chicken, poultry, veal, pork) and then select your ‘taste’ (rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, and well).
• In my case, I used it for pulled pork which needed to go to 190 degrees, but the USDA guide is 160 for pork. All I had to do was press the up button to increase my target temperature to 190.
• The screen flashes different colors as you cook – one color flash every several seconds. Blue for the start to within 15 degrees of target; green for the last 15 to the target, and red when the target it reached. At first I thought this was a little gimmicky and not necessary, but then came to appreciate it as it let me see at a glance from across the room that everything was on track. You can’t turn this option off, but I think it’s a nice addition.
• I found the probes sturdy and easy to clean with a wet sponge and dish soap.
Negatives:
• Really nothing substantial. The battery cover on the TP11 receiver is a little odd – it wasn’t clear to me at first how to open it, and it turns out that you need to lift up on the hinged portion that extends down onto the bottom wall of the unit. Not an issue with the orange TP-07.
• Some have noted/lamented that these are not waterproof - but they're not advertised to be and really can reasonably expected to be. That said, the battery compartments to have a rubber seal that would keep light moisture at bay.
Compared to the TP-07
• The only differences are the case and the button locations. The screen and functionality are the same. Both appeared very accurate and in strong agreement… they varied a little (less than 5 degrees) during the smoke stage, as would be expected because they were in different pieces of meat. But when the meat was covered and steaming, I expected they’d get even closer – in fact, they stayed within 0.5 to 0.8 degrees of each other. Impressive!
• I didn’t notice the TP-07 lose the signal at all, but I only would have seen a small overall portion of the 8 hours of use.
• The TP-11 lost the signal twice that I noticed during an 8 hour smoking session for pulled pork. I was about 30 feet away through one exterior and one interior wall. The first time it reconnected within a few seconds without being moved. The second time I moved it about 8 feet closer and it found the signal again.
• The TP-11 has the white and blue, rounded-edges case that looks nice in the kitchen – blends right it. The TP-07 has the more rugged-looking orange and slate case, but that TP07 case is not ruggedized and the bumpers wouldn’t likely do much in the case of a fall. Again, I think they’re effectively the same unit in different cases to appeal to different style-tastes. They're the same price.

After six months, still working like a champ.
I have been using this thing, on and off, for about 6 months now. It has been used in various low to high temps. I got worried when the unit stopped syncing to the remote after about 4 months, but a quick call to the manufacturer gave me the tip I was looking for to reset it. Thus far, it has been accurate and reliable (minus the resync hiccup). The pictures I posted are room temp, and it is spot on. I haven't had to make use of it yet, but the listing here on Amazon (as of December 2018) states that they will send you a replacement probe if it stops reading. Thats a nice thing to have.To save others the trouble. If your probe stops syncing between the probe unit and the receiver, do this:1) Take out the batteries from both units.2) Try to power on both units to drain capacitors that might keep memory.3) Put batteries back in both units.4) Turn both units ON. Ensure the probe is plugged in firmly into the probe unit. You'll feel it click in.5) Error state is understood to be a reading on the probe unit, but no reading on the receiver unit after about 30s of waiting. If this is still the case do step 6.6) On the receiver unit, press and hold the "MODE" button for at least 5 seconds.7) The receiver unit should show a reading if the reset took. If the reset did not take, power both off and redo step 6. If no avail, you'll have to call in and ask for next steps.For reference >> Telephone: 1-877-515-7797 (US&CA only)
