CHEF iQSense Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer with 3 Ultra-Thin Probes, Unlimited Range Bluetooth Meat Thermometer, Digital Food Thermometer for Remote Monitoring of BBQ Grill, Oven

OK, my opinion, this is a great device. Let me start with the capability of connecting by either blue tooth, OR the internet. Yep, that's right, in case you missed it, this device connects via the internet, which can give you much more roaming freedom in your home. The pairing and net connection set-up was quick and painless.Item comes in a nice solid, good looking case. I checked temperature variation immediately, by placing this item and two different portable units into a glass of water. All were with 1-2 degrees of each other, with this unit being in the middle, one degree different from the other two. I can live with that!! One thing they do get cheap on, helping you charge the unit. This item takes a type 'C' USB cable, to plug into a USB socket. They give you no wall device, OR a charging cable. From headphones to cellphones, I have plenty of type 'C' cables, so it was no big deal. On charging, another item, the blitzy item description states up to 40 hrs. of usage possible. When you look at the manual, it states that fully charged, it may get up to 15 hr.'s of cooking time. That is a BIG drop down from 40 hr.'s, but is still plenty of cooking time. BTW, when you plug it into charge, a green light will start blinking on the base. You need to charge the unit until the green light turns solid, keeping the tool installed in the base. The manual estimates full charge time at 3 hours. As like with a lot of stuff that has batteries, be aware that you most likely will need to charge the unit if their is a good while between usages, or even if you use it a lot. Batteries always run down, in everything. It is a normal happening.Overall, I am happy with the item, and yes, I would recommend it at this time, prior to actually cooking with it. If the story changes after my first cooking session, I will update this posting.UPDATE:Remembering that I had a 2nd oven, I ordered the three probe set also. Now I have a 1 probe set, and a 3 probe set, so that if I am cooking meat in both ovens, I have temperature control. First thing I did with the 3 probe set was to test their reading capability. As I did with the first probe set that I previously purchased, I put all three probes into a glass of water. Two probes had the same temperature, and 1 probe was a degree lower. That works!COMMENTARY:Noticed a few reviews where folks stated that they could not register the probes. As a 'just in case', thought I would mention something. When the unit first arrives, the probes are inside of the case, resting in plastic sheaths. These sheaths prevent the probes from making contact with the metal contact plates in the unit. No contact equals the probes do not charge, and neither can the main unit 'see' them. So when you are charging/registering, made sure you get rid of that plastic sheathing that the probes are resting in. Just pull probes out and remove the loose plastic sheathing.TESTING:If you are not going to use for a while, or if you are giving as a gift, later on, test, test, test. There is just one piece of tape that you have to cut to open the box do it. Save yourself some potential grief if you find out the unit is defective, after the return period has expired. Charge the unit fully. This will test if all items are recharging. Put probe(s) into glass of water and let sit for a good while (hours) measuring temperature. You want to see if the probe(s) are registering the temperature over time and that the temperature is being picked up by the app. You could also lay the probe(s) in a pan covered with parchment paper (to keep probe(s) from touching pan), in the oven for a while, to test heat readings.UPDATE:It is now April 20 and I have been using the probe since purchase in Jan. Have to tell ya, these probes are a life changer. They have worked flawlessly, allowing my meat to come out absolutely perfect! I can cook multiple type of meat at the same time, with one of my probes stuck into it. You select the type of meat you are cooking and the probe software automatically pulls up the right temperature for the meat to be ready at and alerts you as to when rotation is needed, or the meat is done. FANTASTIC!!One big thing to keep in mind, not all pieces of meat cook the same way. The size matters, and with the probe, it concentrates on the piece of meat that it is stuck into. If you have a thermometer, have multiple pieces of meat, and just insert the thermometer into one piece, that is just judging that ONE PIECE for temperature. Smaller pieces will cook faster that large, and if you have a mixture of sizes, cooking times will vary, and you need to be on top of that. The probes will automatically do that for you.The fact that I do not have to deal with WIRES makes this sooo much fun! Any serious cook should have this probe set!! You can be guaranteed to have meat cooked to perfection, all the time!

Another update:I was getting ready to return these but wanted to do some extensive testing & comment here with my findings. My testing proved my last opinion was not completely correct.I set all three in a shot glass of water inside of a pan of water so I had more control of the speed at which it heated. I also used a third probe that I trusted more. I very slowly brought the temperature up & tested often. All 3 kept the same reading as I heated them & only 1 degree lower then my trusted probe. this was the case all the way through 130 degrees. 130-155 they stayed the same as my trust probe then went back to 1 degree lower up to 187 degrees. This was as hot as I could get them in my testing setup.I am back to being happy with my purchase with a couple of exceptions. I did send a message to the company through the app but I never heard back from them. This site said I would be contacted in 2 days but I wasn't. I still have issues with the app. Lastly the charge does not last as long as it says. The base only last 8 hours without help. The probes last about 12-14 hours.Also not that the temp overshoots about 5 degree if you pull it when they tell you(this was on turkey breast & chick I tested it in). You can adjust for this in the cook settings though.-------------------------------------------Update:I removed this update. It was my opinion at the time but ether they received an update or something changed.--------------------------------------------This is fun to use & works pretty good.I cook a turkey breast & the finished product was perfect. However, it did over shoot the temperature by 5 degrees. The app also freezes. I have to keep force closing the app & reopen it to start over.Also Aluminum foil greatly reduce the distance of these. If I sat my hub right beside the chamber then it has worked so far. Other then that, the distance is amazing.
