The hub doesn’t stay connected and the probes don’t measure accurately. Don’t waste your money on this gimmick.

We are sorry to learn about the unusually poor experience you are having with your Weber Connect Hub, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
Usually, issues like the ones you described can be fixed through some simple troubleshooting. Please look for an email outreach from our Care team soon! Thank you.
I bought this grill less than a week ago and it arrived with tape all over it and when you pull the tape off the tape residue is still on like the stainless part of the grill. Not sure how to remove that without damaging it.
Just received this device from Weber (ordered from my old account by mistake). After fully charging it a software update was available and that download and install was successful. It connected to Bluetooth immediately but never to wifi and I was 10 feet from the router. Additionally the registration step wouldn’t complete either. Simply a waste of time and money.

At first, I bought a lesser (cheaper) wireless probe only to discover it would give temperatures 30 degrees off of what the actual temps. were. I sent it back and then bought one of these Weber Smart Grill probe\wireless connect devices. The BEST decision I made. I highly recommend this product!
Dosent like to stay connected very well with Wi-Fi disconnects every time the screen on your phone goes dark

Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear about your experience with the Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub. We are happy to help.
If you are having issues connecting your Connect Hub to WiFi:
Connecting via WiFi: • Open the Connect app • Ensure you have already established a Bluetooth pairing • After the first download, you will be asked to “Extend your range” after pairing via Bluetooth. If you skip this step, you can follow the following steps to connect via WiFi. • Tap on the three dots at the bottom of the screen • Tap on the image of Connect Hub • Tap on WiFi under Connectivity • Tap Set up WiFi • Select your WiFi network and enter your password • The password field is case sensitive! Make sure the password is being entered exactly • Verify that there are no unnecessary spaces before the password • Tap Connect
Is your WiFi network 2.4 ghz or a dual network of 2.4 ghZ and 5 ghZ? • If 5 ghZ only, this WiFi router is not compatible. Please pair via Bluetooth instead. • 2.4 ghZ and 5 ghZ dual networks are compatible and can be connected to
Are you close enough to your WiFi router to achieve a strong signal? • A quick way to confirm this is to see how many bars the WiFi signal displays when your phone is connected to WiFi • If the signal is weak, try to move closer to your router • Note that you still have to connect your Connect Hub to WiFi through the app even if your phone itself is already on WiFi – these are two separate scenarios
Our Care team will be reaching out to follow up. Please look for our outreach soon. Thank you!

I charged the unit for 2 days before the first use. I’m running 3 probs and just over 1.5 hrs it is at 70%. Even after pulling it off the charger it went from 100% to 95% in just 5 mins.

Thank you for your feedback, this should not be happening. We would like to hear more about this experience. Please lookout for an email from our Support team.
Wanted to upgrade from my iGrill mini. Overall not very satisfied given the price point. UI not very intuitive (and different app from iGrill for some reason). Won't charge all the way to 100 (gets stuck at 95 no matter how long left on charger). Won't notify my device when done, or give a warning when temp is close. No watch app (even though the cheaper version has one?!). Stick to the cheap mini it works just fine.
