A better MEATER
on May 1, 2024
Posted by: Skyler H.
Really like the new design. Slimmer, More temp readings, and higher heat tolerance. It would be nice to be able to program a reverse sear but easily worked around by just setting up a new cook when you pull the steak out of the smoker. All in all, a real good product.

Good for internal temp but not ambient
on April 20, 2024
Posted by: Jared W.
Overall, I would highly recommend this wireless probe, but just be aware that the ambient temperature reading is highly inaccurate, sometimes by 50 degrees. This is caused by a multitude of factors, such as proximity to the meat since its cooler, and conditions of the meat such as sweating during a stall. Although the company cannot control these factors, the product is marketed as being highly accurate which applies to the internal temperature, so it is misleading because accuracy isn't specified between internal and ambient temperature reads. I would recommend that the company extend the length of the probe to decrease the inaccuracy and provide more awareness of the inaccuracy.
However, the product is still well worth the cost and is likely better than other competing wireless probes. The internal temperature reading appears to be accurate, and the app is quite useful. The app provides a disclaimer about the difficulty with predicting cook times, especially for meats that cook beyond 200 degrees F like pork butts and brisket. It's odd that the company clarified this but didn't clarify the inaccuracy of the ambient temperature reads.
The Bluetooth wireless connection is sometimes clunky and will constantly disconnect even when my phone and the probe charger are right next to the sensor. But, it will usually reconnect quickly without issue. The battery life is quite nice because the charger runs off a single battery which provides multiple recharges. Further, the probe itself can easily last through a 20+ hour cook.

Thank you for your review. The ambient sensor is accurate within 5°C / 9°F of the temperature at the location where it's measuring. The ambient temperature reading on a MEATER product is not the same as the ambient temperature reading of the inside of your appliance. The appliance (oven, grill, etc) has sensors calibrated to read the tamp and give you the reading of the overall temp of the appliance. The MEATER probes ambient sensor is designed to generate an estimated cook time. It reads the temperature directly around the sensor. Below is a support link that goes over the ambient temp and a video that explains the ambient reading. If you still need help, please contact us by phone or chat and one of our friendly and knowledgeable agents will be happy to help.

Range sucks. Have to stay close to it. When I went in house keeps disconnecting. Very disappointing
Response from MeaterBy MEATER Support, January 14, 2025
Thank you for your review. The MEATER Pro has a range of up to 250 feet from the charger to your smart device. The probes to the charger have a range of up to 33 ft in open air and can vary depending on the appliance. For best results, we would keep the charger as close as safely possible to the probes. Here is a support link that goes over the range and a video that goes over the range expectations. If you still need help, please contact us and one of our agents will be happy to assist you.
