Original MEATER | 2-Unit Bundle | Smart Meat Thermometer | 33ft Wireless Range | for The Oven, Grill, Kitchen, BBQ, Rotisserie

Bought this twin pack and thought initially it was very promising. App is nice, pairing was rapid, charging was OK (although it's a bit of a kludge to have an AAA battery charging the probe, rather than a USB connection...).Tried this with a brisket and put two probes into the meat.First issue is that the probes are rather fat. Added to which the 'nail head' end is sharp, and so getting the probe into the meat was not ideal - certainly less easy than the thin, wired probes.Once on the grill the readings were great. When i closed the lid (stainless steel) the range was about 6 metres for one, 4 metres for the other.After a couple of hours smoking I wrapped the brisket in two sheets of foil and... nothing. Even with my phone rubbing against the outside and over the probe, no signal at all.It's one thing having a short range, but quite another when it doesn't work through foil.Returned both units. Nice design, nice app, neat idea... just not yet ready.

I’ve used the original Meater and Meater+ for months & love how easy it makes cooking meat to the perfect ‘done-ness’. I bought this dual pack to give to some friends as presents. I use them on the BBQ as well as in the oven indoors whenever I am cooking meat or fish. I have even monitored a cook from the pub by leaving it connected to a tablet at home & connecting to their cloud service from my phone. The range on the ‘+’ version is excellent and enables us to have it on the bbq in the garden whilst monitoring inside. The MEATER app is really simple to use & lets you know when to remove meat from the bbq or oven to allow it to rest & then when it is fully ready. It even gives you an estimated time when it will be ready. Love it & highly recommend!

I’m impressed by the result of the MEATER. The steaks I reversed seared were amazing. The MEATER app is easy to use and setup. During the first cook, despite my phone being no more than a foot away the connection was lost on several occasions. Which I have taken pictures of and posted. Hoping this doesn’t happen when I use them on the bbq. But for this I would of given five stars

Really disappointed in this...because I really wanted this to be great. But it just doesn't work. The probes lose connections all the time and re-connecting seems impossible. And if you're in the middle of a long cook, it's a bit useless if your probe cannot give you a reading.I found that the probes cannot even establish connection from 2 feet away on the other side of a patio door glass (when using an outdoor cooker). And if you are required to stay close to the cooker for this to work, then this is no better than a simple wired probe (which would be a hell of a lot cheaper too).This was so unreliable the first time I used it, that I had to take these out and replace with a cheap wired probe. Which worked much better.

Absolute rubbish. The meater does not pair. The customer support is utterly patronising. Since buying it as a very disappointing Christmas present I have seen many reviews stating poor performance. I wish I'd seen them first.Units have been returned.
