MEATER Block: WiFi Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer | 4 Probes, Long Range | Perfect for BBQ, Oven, Grill, Kitchen, Smoker, Air Fryer | Apple Watch, Alexa Compatible | iOS & Android App

Update - make sure if you have a WiFi repeater on your network that you may need to reset that in addition to your router. I have no idea why every other item in my house worked fine and this didn’t. But I reset that device and now this is working again. So back to a 5 start review. Loved this thing for as long as it worked, all of 5 weeks. It’s great to be able to set the probes in the meat I’m cooking, leave the block next to my Traeger, and then using the WiFi I was able to monitor anywhere in the house. That was until thanksgiving day when this device all of a sudden refused to connect to my WiFi. It can see the networks but not connect. Spent an hour trouble shooting and finally gave up and started the turkey without. Did more trouble shooting including the following: 1) new batteries 2) factory reset of device 3) deleted and reloaded the iOS app 4) checked network - all other devices worked fine 5) tried to connect MEATER block to another WiFi (my phones personal hotspot) and it still didn’t work. 6) went into my home network router and defined a static IP address for the MEATER’s MAC address in case there was an issue there with assigning a MAC address, nope. 7) tried again when less people at my house thinking maybe it was a bandwidth issue and still won’t connect. NONE IF THE ABOVE WORK! I’m out of ideas. I’ve reached out to customer service and will update if able.

I've given this plenty of chances over the course of over 2 years. About 8 months in, the device no longer held a charge and had to be plugged in to use. I spent more time fussing with getting these probes connected than I've been able to spend actually cooking with them. Even when they do "work" I can't really trust them for more than a ballpark estimate as to what the temp actually is. It's ambient temp sensors were never accurate. That contributes to estimated cooking times never being remotely close. Im sitting here writing this review while I am approaching my very last straw with this device, waiting for it to connect. Even worse, is sometimes it does work, then at a random point will stop working, in the meantime giving you no errors and a temp that is far behind real time, and only sometimes will it realize it's been giving you false information when you restart everything (but don't do that because now you'll be trying to get it to connect long after you planned to have dinner). Simply not worth the price. Even when it was working. I rarely leave reviews, but this thing is awful and it is one item in a long time that I wish I never wasted the time or money on.

I BBQ on a Trager grill and the Bluetooth only version of the MEATER as well as two other Bluetooth only probes I tried have a limited range of about 6-feet due to the thick lining of the Trager grill. This prevents me from monitoring my cooking when I am in my house. I also tried another WIFI thermometer which supports 8-probes but found the software to be so flakey that it would often hang. The Meater Block is by far the best cooking system I have ever used for the following reason. Packaging – This device is very well packaged and the wooden block is beautiful. I liked that they integrated a USB charging port as well as batteries but due to corrosion I would like to see them move away from batteries and just have a rechargeable one. Software Setup – This is so simple and only took a few minutes including account creation. Pairing to the block on my Samsung phone was effortless and connecting the block to my WIFI was also super easy. Software – The Phone interface on this is hands down the best I have ever seen. You simply hit the power button on the block and tell it to connect to WIFI which it does in a few seconds. I like that the LED on the block shows you the Bluetooth connectivity of each probe to the block and when you fire up the software on your phone, it quickly connects to the block over WIFI. My favorite part of the Software is that when you say cook, it gives you 6-options (Beef, Pork, Poultry, Lamb, Fish, or other and then many sub categories and then lets you determine how you want the item to cook (Rare, Medium Rare, Medium, Medium Well, or Well Done and it recommends temp based on safety guidelines. One of the things that sets this apart is because it measures both internal food temp and ambient external temp, it is able to calculate how long it will take for your food to cook. This is especially handy of you are cooking multiple things like a big roast and some chicken at the same time Hardware – The block looks great and is easy to clean. The probes and also stylish and very easy to clean. If someone asks, I do not know if these probes can be used in water like sous-vide or other cooking devices. Conclusion – Later this year I will probably update my Trager to the latest model that has WIFI support but I will continue to use these probes as they are amazing. I have never once lost connectivity to the block so that says something about the stability of the device. Aside from a rechargeable battery, my only other feature request is that the Estimated cook time calculation could be speed up as sometimes it takes up to 7-minutes for this to register but overall an amazing product.

This is a seriously nice piece of kit. It not only looks great, but is easy to use and works exactly as I hoped. The app is really nice and easy to use. The only minor criticism I have is that the little numbered clips that identify each probe fall of easily and can be lost. Expensive at $450 in Australia but you get what you pay for.

Set up complicated and did not work. Suggested I needed to change my internet settings to accommodate the item which I was unable to do. What should be a ‘plug and play’ item turns in to an expensive annoyance…

User friendly, very accurate, easily to maintain, its app is easy to navigate and agin work very well.

prodotto perfetto e preciso

Wife bought me this and it's a great thing to have, especially if you're cooking more than one piece of meat. If everyone likes their steak a different way, this is a great way to keep track of it. The app is simple and it works really well.
