+ Solid and robust construction - makes a high impression. Cable of Temp-sensor is protected with metal mesh, thereby also use well in a kettle grill.
+ Radio transmission works without any problems, even over long distances and at patio door closed
+ Temperature is relatively accurate - only about 0.5 ° C error
+ Batteries: 2xAA (receiver) and 3xAAA (transmitter). No expensive and exotic button cells - very good.
+ Very easy to use, absolutely "foolproof". All important settings are on individual buttons, no menu-tweaking.
+ Individual meat temperatures can be entered or preset values are selected (beef, pork, lamb, veal, turkey, chicken, fish, hamburgers)
+ Switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius per switch
+ Set parameters are retained after a power cycle
- The audio announcement quite annoying, can not stop and there is only "loud" and "quiet" while still penetrating sounds "soft" and "loud" can already cause conflicts with neighbors.
- Default meat temperatures are partly clearly too high - so is every steak from a shoe sole (eg 71 ° C for medium steak -> 60 ° C would be correct)
- Attention: the supplied batteries of the transmitter were already exhausted, so that the radio transmission was not working at first. With fresh batteries was everything OK. Thanks to the / the pros reviewers who have noticed this. I would have otherwise, the unit may be returned again.
Conclusion:
A few small flaws, but overall a recommendable device with very decent price-performance ratio - the steaks and lamb fillet are as good as ever ....
