Pros:-Best value for the money-Accurate-Easy to use-Lots of applications (smoker, oven, air frier, baking, chilling, etc.)-App works great on iPhone-Comes with 2 probes and air harness for smoker-6(!) total probe ports-Super convenient and makes cooking a breeze-Relay unit has a digital face and beeper, flexibility to use without appCons:-No case for unit and probes, although probes do have a little wrap around plastic piece so they don't get tangledI got this bluetooth thermometer after using a family member's at a cookout they hosted. They had the Weber version. I love cooking and cook 5-6 days out of the week, everything from regular dinners, to fun roasts, grilled steaks, and smoking expensive cuts of meat. But even if you're a novice foodie who just enjoys the occasional smoked brisket or holiday roast, you know you don't want to spend hours of time and lots of $$$ just to have your meal ruined by overcooking or even undercooking the food. This probe offers the reassurance that makes cooking even the most expensive and time consuming meals easy! You don't need to keep opening up your smoker, grill, or oven and checking manually 10 times during a cook, you just kind of set it and forget it. It's a product that makes you love technology!The app is super intuitive and the probe / relay unit works like a charm. Nice thing is you also don't need to use the app outside of setting the temperature if you're inside or within earshot, the relay unit has a nice digital face and a very loud beeper when your food has reached temperature, which most other products don't have. It comes with 2 probes, which is awesome since most other brands only offer 1, and the relay also has 6 probe ports! I don't know what in the world you'd ever need 6 thermometers going at once for, other than maybe 6 steaks on the grill, but even the Weber version only had 4 ports and 1 probe included, unless you pay even more for a more expensive version of their already overpriced product. You do need to turn the sound on your phone on for this though if you're stepping out of earshot, or at least go into the settings of your phone to grant access for the app to ring through the silent mode, so that you can hear the alarm go off. It's also fairly accurate, I have 3 other instant read thermometers and this is within +/-0.5º F of them. I've used this in everything from an air frier, to my convection oven, to a smoker, and even used it to monitor dough when I was making croissants and needed to keep my dough/butter sheet at the perfect temperature, or when I let dough rise and don't want the space I leave it in to get over 80º F.Anyway, I'd highly recommend this product. Other, more known brands are as much as 4X the cost, don't come with more than 1 probe, meaning more money, have limited probe ports, and don't even have a digital face on the relay unit, meaning you HAVE to use the app on your phone and buy other thermometers to use otherwise. Beyond that, the customer service has been stellar! I damaged one of the probes and reached out to BFour directly, and, after I sent them a picture of the probe not working, they sent me TWO new probes without question. I didn't expect that nor did I think they needed to send me anything, I was just hoping they could make a recommendation as to how to repair the probe. Would highly recommend this to anyone for yourself or as an awesome gift!
