 Nice Thermometer Nov 11, 2009
This thermometer works great. I love the fact that I can walk away from the grill (Holland Grill) and just wait for the food to reach set temperature. The range of the receiver is not as good as stated, but it does work!
 C'mon, 100ft Range? Nov 04, 2009
I only bought this for the remote feature, the rest of the stuffs are of no interest to me. They should stop advertising the 100 ft range remote. Because in realty, this thing does not work beyond 4 meters.
 very limited range Oct 30, 2009
The first unit received would not transmit a signal (30 feet) consistantly from my barbeque to my kitchen. I returned it and received another which seems to maintain an uninterrupted signal for the 30 minutes of outside cooking. An audible alarm which alerts one that the signal has been lost would be a vital improvement to this gadget. In the mean time, I will check the signal often and regularly. The reported temperatures seem to be accurate, the instructions are straigtforward and the two probes are handy.

 Yeah, right, 100 feet, try 10... Oct 19, 2009
The only reason I bought this was for the remote monitoring capability. I cannot get more than 10 feet away without loosing the transmitter and that is line of site.
If I close my sliding glass door, I do not get 5 feet.
I tried 3 sets of batteries, incuding rechargables, no improvement.
Great product in other ways, accurate and clean design, but useless to me since it isn't really a remote monitor.

Good, but lots of room for improvement Oct 12, 2009
Overall, I'm luke warm on this item. I purchased it off Amazon since it was the highest rated wireless thermometer. It certainly works well but there is a lot of room for improvement. After one 12-hour smoker run, here are my initial thoughts:
Pros:
*Multiple probes
*Easy to read display
*Long cords (approx 4') for convenience
*Decent range (could go almost anywhere in the house within 10 yards or line of sight)
Cons:
*Inconsistent signal - would sporadically lose/find the signal.
*No alert tone when signal is dropped.
*No low temperature alert.
*No backlight on display.
*Could make keys more intuitive.
*No room to add/purchase additional probes
My biggest complaints are the lack of alert tone when signal is dropped, and lack of low temperature alert and here's why; After firing up my smoker at 5am I wanted to get some shuteye. I took the wireless receiver into the living room where it still received signal (almost line of site, 10 yards away from smoker). It received a signal for 10 minutes or so and eventually I felt comfortable and fell asleep. I woke up an hour or so later and, at some point, the unit had lost the signal and failed to make any audible noise. Without this feature, or the low temp feature, it really requires you to monitor it manually. It would ad so much value for these two, simple software updates.
This was my first wireless grill thermometer but it seems pretty straight forward. I'd probably recommend to a friend but would search for a few alternatives as well.
