I wanted to buy a radio grill thermometer for my first Pulled Pork and had ordered me to TFA Dostmann 14.1504 KITCHEN CHEF Radio Grill oven thermometer to make certain I knew well that I have no Garraumüberwachung with this device. From the feel, function, operation and the radio reception was very gut..Der plastic look is even much better than the Maverick, key design and display fonts have a certain similarity. The device I can instantly know about each, which requires only one sensor.
Since the Garraumüberwachung the kettle grill with built-Weber thermometer after the first experience, however, is of limited value only, I have but then decided to return it and zuzulegen the Maverick, despite the drastsichen price difference.
The first impression was once disappointing. For nearly 70, - you get a unit in high-gloss look, but what makes a cheap impression otherwise of the processing of the case. Here the value is true in any case. So inserted batteries and tries to program the device deviating from the default values. I say who is using the device regularly, the manual should not place too far away, because the device can not be explained by itself. The instructions are to made yet as bad not to be in a hurry when the thermometer is to be used. The contrast of the writing is a bit weak, when viewed from the side of the display is very hard to read. Positive is the ability to display for 5sec. to illuminate. If you have only once set everything works the device as expected. The signal strength from transmitter to receiver is also good. So full functionality at cheaper haptics, which of course also depends on the personal feeling. In my opinion, it is clearly overpriced and the service is too complicated for the casual user. As noted, I've found in the area of Funkthermometer no device, which a 100% same range of functions, the advantage of having the receiver by wireless transmission always near convinced absolutely over a wired version (ie no alternative). I had, however, expected to get a wertigeres device for the high price.
Conclusion: good quality, reliable performance, but with poor unconverted operation, packaged in a low-cost housing.
Maybe I'm the operation sometime liquid out of hand, but at the moment I forgive only three stars.
