Meater Plus Wireless Meat Thermometer - Bluetooth Repeater - 50m Range

I received this and when trying to set it up, it would not let me proceed without setting up a meater+ cloud account which I do not want to do. The following day I decided to try setting up the app before boxing it up to return it and this time it didn't prompt me for a meater+ cloud account. The company's customer service is only reachable by email. I emailed them and after 6 days there is still no response. I am hoping I don't ever actually need to reach them because I am doubting the quality of service they will provide.The range from the probe to the wooden base block is very short under 10'(I had a thick steak on a grill 3 feet from my patio door and the block lost connection sitting on the dining table another 4 feet inside the patio door). But the range ... MoreI received this and when trying to set it up, it would not let me proceed without setting up a meater+ cloud account which I do not want to do.

But the range from the charging block to my phone seems pretty decent, I doubt it has the range the company claims unless you are outside with clear line of sight, but it makes it useable on my smoker or on my grill to my kitcken. The probe is thick, almost the size of a #2 pencil, so I would not believe it would be very useful on a steak under 2" thick. The dual probe feature is kinda meh because if you have a large piece of meat with the probe pushed deep into it, the meat will be a heat sink and indicate a lower ambient tempature. Additionally, the ambient probe is only rated to just over 500 degrees and the meat probe is only rated to 212 degrees.

Gives user extreme peace of mind during cooking. Allows you to have meat and ambient temperature all in one spot. With the custom temperature alarms, I have used it overnight without worrying my smoker will shut off and I won't know. I've used it on pork butts, brisket, brats, and even jerky. Works really well on larger cuts, but with a little effort in wrapping the meat around you can get it to read well on thinner cuts like jerky. It has also come in handy by checking my smoker's temperature against its ambient temperature sensor. I've found my smokers temp can be off by 30 degrees depending on the outside temperature and can dial it in using the Meater's ambient temperature. The only thing I have found a little tricky is the probes range to the base unit. You ... MoreGives user extreme peace of mind during cooking.

The only thing I have found a little tricky is the probes range to the base unit. You pretty much have to have the base next to the smoker, but with the range from the base to your phone, it really isn't a big issue. Plus, by connecting my tablet to the base and using Meater cloud, I can have the cook anywhere on my phone allowing me to have true Orwellian oversight over the meat. Overall, I have found it easy to use and a game changer during long smokes. You can really set it and forget and it will tell you when its done.

Ambient temperature was 50•off. Very poor customer service

I bought this used it on 2 low temp cooks on my Traeger. It worked fine and I was impressed. I used it on an intermediate temp cook 350 degrees and ambient temp was 50 to 60 degrees off. I contacted the support at Meater only to have an automated message contact me back saying my smoker has different temp zones. I verified my ambient temperature with calibrated test equipment ( I am an I&C tech ) . It was over a week before someone emailed me back with the same explanation. Thank God for the good people at Ace who did a defective exchange. I Reperformed the 350 degree cook to only have a 3-5 degree difference. I like the product and hope it will continue to work however plan on getting a Meatstick probe before thanksgiving since it works fully submerged in oil. ... MoreI bought this used it on 2 low temp cooks on my Traeger.

Again the main reason for the low review is the lack of technical support and poor customer service.

Does not work - Gimicky and scammy

Temperature readings are way off. There are 2 temp sensors one at the tip of the probe for internal meat temp and the other in the probe handle for ambient temp (around the meat when in the grill). When the probe is outside one would expect that both readings show approx air temperature. The internal temp probe shows 70 degrees fahrenheit but the ambient shows 336 F (I don’t live on mars !). Now when i put the probe in the meat and insert it into the grill, the app goes into an overheat warming mode (which is triggered above an erroneous 527 F ambient temp reading). The whole device is unusable since the warning screen persists (even when bringing the grill temp down to 200 F).

Great thermometer with no range

Ordered two of Meater + models. One for myself and the other for my father. The quality of the thermometer is great, accuracy is great, and app features are easy to use and set up. Unfortunately, the range of both thermometers is about 10 feet max. Overall incredibly disappointed in these thermometers. I was hoping I could monitor meat temps anywhere in the house, but you have to leave your phone super close to the thermometer in order to get any reading.I would not recommend these thermometers for the price.

Love the probe and the app! Not crazy about the range.

I absolutely love this thing, it's by far my new favorite grilling tool. It's so easy to use and everything comes out perfect, it almost feels like cheating. The range on the other hand is definitely not as advertised. I lose signal just from walking from my grill into my kitchen, which is less than 40ft away. This probe would be perfect if it had the 165ft it advertises.

Poor BT/WIFI range

I bought this to use with my Traeger grille about 20ft away. Sadly, the bluetooth connection between the phone/block/probe continuously drops. The "Meater Link" option for WIFI extends to 33ft, per the app. That's just not sufficient range. I had higher hopes but I'm going to return the product. On the positive, the app is intuitive and nice user experience.

SO EASY

USED IT SAME DAY ON WHOLE TURKEY. I THINK YOU NEED TWO THOUGH. ONE FOR BREAST AND ONE FOR THIGH. LOVE IT AND WILL USE MANY MORE TIMES. NOTE; IF YOU REMOVE BATTERY AFTER USE; BE SURE AND INSERT BATTERY AND LET IT RECHARGE OR IT MAY NOT CONNECT WITH PHONE.. TURKEY WAS COOKED PERFECTLY AND IN LESS TIME I WOULD HAVE COOKED IT BY WEIGHT PER HOUR COOKING INSTRUCTIONS WHICH WOLD HAVE OVER COOKED THE TURKEY.

Works as promised

I never and when I say never I mean never write reviews, however, I felt like this product needed one from me. I picked up this product from the store today and used it this evening on an extra thick cut ribeye. I inserted the MEATER Plus into the steak after searing it on a skillet and into the oven to finish cooking it. It performed very well in the oven. An added bonus is the MEATER phone app. It kept a real time widget on my phone’s Lock Screen for easy monitoring. Highly recommend this product and may replace my other wired probes thermometers.
