ThermoPro TempSpike Wireless Meat Thermometer with 2 Meat Probes, 500FT Bluetooth Meat Thermometer for Cooking with LCD-Enhanced Booster for Food Turkey Beef Rotisserie BBQ Oven Smoker Thermometer

Felt I need to update this review. The original device had an issue but the company contacted me and sent me a free replacement probe. All I really wanted was to be able to purchase a replacement but they quickly sent a replacement and everything has been working flawlessly since. I am upgrading this review to 5 stars. I always try to be honest with my reviews, and sometimes a seller is combative and tries to blame me... This seller is outstanding and bent over backwards to make sure I was happy with my purchase. I can say I am very happy now. Thanks. The first month this was a FIVE star product. The second month this was a 4 star product. This is the third month and it is barely a two star product. I ordered the two probe TempSpike and it seemed to be awesome... Then the second month the battery would completely drain when it wasn't used and it would take 24 hours to charge when previously it would charge overnight. Now on the third month the white probe will not connect to the booster/charger. The first time it happened I was eventually able to connect it after removing and reinserting at least 30 times. It then stopped showing the temp and charged. Today, it will not connect, so it won't charge. Randomly it will act like it is connected when not fully inserted and then it will start showing the temp again and not charge. The black probe is fine, I put in on the booster/charger, it stops displaying the temp and starts charging. It is fine. The white probe will not. And yes I did try putting the white probe in both slots; with and without the black probe inserted. It has stopped working completely in just 90 days.

After my 3rd Meater+ went bad, I decided to give this device a shot. First, I would endorse this over the prior device for various reasons, but there is one hiccup keeping it from being a 5-star. The problem: The black probe seems to disconnect randomly. I’ve made sure it is positioned where it doesn’t accidentally touch grill grates, fully charged the battery, and cleaned it spotless prior to every use (carbon build up created signal problems with former devices). I’ve used it separately, and on the same piece of meat and for whatever reason it tends to drop. The receiver and app just show: “ - - -“. I can’t ever seem to get it to reconnect once it does this. At least there’s a second spike as a backup. The black spike seems to read lower than the white spike in all scenarios too, but there could be differences in ambient temps due to placement or internal meat temp due to thickness of the cut and so forth. I’m willing to give these guys4 stars right now but not 5 because i primarily use the white spike only as a result of the weirdness with the black - which essentials it a single spike, which is what I was replacing/moving away from. I’d like it if the seller would reach out to discuss solutions/replacements is necessary. Good customer service would be the difference in a 5 star upgrade, or a downgrade to 3 stars. The good (there a lot): 1. Dual spikes give more accurate realtime cook info than competitor’s single spike devices for the same price point. 2. Spikes are MUCH more robust than previous devices 3. Remote docking station is extremely better build/designed than competitor devices in that you’re not tied to using an app that gives you problems mid-cook. 4. Battery life is better than previous devices 5. Signal range: I can go inside my house from the first floor deck and down into the basement for prolonged periods without losing signal - basement was absolutely not an option on previous devices. 6. Docking station isn’t “wood” - my dogs love to chew wood. They chewed two other previous devices up badly. Also, would is porous, so water and food stains are a thing. 7. Docking station is rechargeable - previous devices used batteries, and ran through them at an absurd cadence to boot. 8. Docking station is backlit - huge advantage during early morning/late evening/night cooks. 9. Spike don’t have a “cap” over the transmitter that you can wiggle off during cleaning. 10. Overall design lends itself to ease of cleaning more than previous devices 11. My wife can pick it up and use it easily in the kitchen without having to be shackled to an app on my phone to tell the temps. In general, I’m happy with this unit and will be using it for the foreseeable future, while the black probe gets wonky sometimes- it’s not every time. That part could be better (hint hint seller), but in general this is a significant upgrade from the previous device I was replacing which also randomly disconnected for various reasons, had poor battery life, shackled you to apps that acted up, and unfortunately attracted the attention of my two dogs when no one was looking. Update 2 months in the black probe has completely crapped out. It’s a brick. Zero response acknowledgment from seller to the original post. No way to get help or ask questions. I just wanted a replacement black probe. The lack of response or engagement feels like commitment to customer experience or quality. Maybe I’ll go back to Meater2+ since it handles temps up to 900+ now. This thing is junk. Bluetooth range has diminished to about 14 feet. Doesn’t send signals through the walls anymore. Doesn’t check any of the original boxes, and the black prob died right in the middle of cooking the Christmas prime rib. I gave these guys a shot and got burned. For the price, it should last longer than 60 days. Since buying and reviewing it, I’ve noticed spikes very similar popping up on other “me-too” devices. I absolutely can’t recommend this thing. “Buyer beware” if you choose to roll the dice on it. Update again mid-cook. Black probe started working but is giving bizarre readings. Analog thermometer that’s always reasonably accurate says 300, white probe says 282, black probe says 143. Oddly the IT on the black is higher than the white by 30 degrees too. Can’t trust that kinda output. 3/10/24 update - one probe is a brick now and the other won’t connect half the time. This thing is getting worse. Range is now 10 ft. It’s not a device that will last. I’m now planning on replacing it with a MEATER2. Anything is better than this. AT NO POINT IN TIME DID THEY ADDRESS MY REQUEST FOR HELP OR COMPLAINTS.

Update customer service finally sent me a new product and it works awesome. Very similar product but this works stated. But I did want to change my review stars because great customer service provided. Was 1 star. This has been a frustrating product that I can never get to work when I want to. There are connection errors. I have talked to customer service which was ok service(wouldn’t call but would email back) and they sent me a spike to try to fix it but I had my doubts and i think it is the base that is messed up, it never stays connected and I can’t ever tell what if it charged as it always says it i full charged. I would not recommend buying this specific product. (I have a different product from them and it works great!)

I have had Thermopro products in the past and have not had issues. But this was a particularly bad product. Purchased in Dec 2023. From the moment i opened it, it felt cheap and plasticy. But they probes seemed durable. I had trouble connecting the white proble at first. Followed the directions and reset the base unit multiple times and finally connected. I have had to do this several more times over the past year. Then finally this month, almost exactly 1 year and 1 month after purchasing, the white probe doesnt even charge. It is completely dead. On top of that, the user interface on the iphone is very meh. Not intuitive and not good looking either. And the bluetooth connection to my phone is good for about 6 feet. Beyond that, forget it. And the probe needs to stay within about 6 feet of the base unit as well. Thats a max of 12 feet of monitor distance between the proble and my phone. That sucks. I'm done with ThermoPro products forever. Edit: I contacted thermopro and they sent me a new temp spike for free. I’m impressed by the customer service. Raised my rating to 4 as a result.

I do alot of smoking and have used different brands of thermometers over the years. When i first got the Tempspike, it work flawlessly for the first couple times, then the white probe would unpair. I was abnle to re-pair it a couple times before it stopped working completely. I contacted ThermoPro over a year after purchase and explained the problem. I asked if it would be possible to get a new white probe. Within a week, Felipe' sent me a completely new thermometer with both probes! If your on the fence between brands, this is the kind of service that will keep me coming back to Thermopro.

I should have read the reviews before making this purchase. It seems by the reviews, there are mixed feelings about this product. I read a review that explains my issues to the T, dropped connection on the black probe, incorrect battery display ( base says 100% and when inserted into meat drops to 50%. I had a 12 to 14 hour cook in progress and had to rely on just the white probe which would only last 4 hours on a full charge. I did conntact customer service at the manufacturer and they did respond within 3 hours of my email. I followed all their steps they sugested including resetting the booster and re-pairing the probes. This did not help, in fact, the problems got worse. Now the white probe will not stay connected. I emailed them back and explain this and I sugested maybe the base is defective? I have not recieved a reply. I will give this until tomorrow to get completely corrected or I will be sending this back to Amazon for a full refund. I could have made least trips to the smoker to check the meat by using my old handheld, manual thermomter LOL. It's a shame to pay this price for a device as wonky as this. I expect a device to work flawlessly for this kind of money. I have no doubt that i will receive a full refund, Amazon is good about this type of thing. My best advice if you are going to purchase this product, be sure to have a backup thermomter on hand, do not rely on this product until you see if you got a good unit or a wonky unit. Also, after fully charging the unit & probes again, the probes work flawlessly while off the charger and sitting in cups of warm water. The base reads them as it should with no issuses. Insert into meal and place in heated oven and the issues begin all over. I am thinking there are deffects in the probes when exposed to heat? I don't know, I'm not expert by any means, I only know what the thing is doing when I use it. Like I stated, Ill be waiting until tomorrow for Thermopro to correct this problem. After tomrrow, it goes back for a refund and I'll move on to more reliable products, handheld manual thermometor.

I only use this a few times a year with Thanksgiving being the main day I use it. I cook a turkey in the oven and on my Treager so I watch the temp to ensure they both cook at the same rate. Last year it worked great with minor connectivity issues between the two probes and the transmitter. This year I could never get both thermometers to connect at once ever and I tried multiple times. My one was cooking at a faster rate so I dropped the temp on my Treager 25 degrees to compensate. I had to keep getting up and walk to the grill and then back to the oven with the transmitter to get both temps. Both turkeys were at the same temp for the last 2-3 hours of the cook. Great I nailed it. Well I brought the Treager bird in and the temp dropped to 150F so I pulled the tinfoil to temp it with another thermometer and just then my wife said that does not look cooked. Sure enough now my digital read and the thermopen read 150. So back in the oven it went. The batteries dropped quickly in the pens so I’m assuming that is why this happened or the oven pen connected to the black thermopen??? If you buy this expect it to work for about a year. I wish I had bought something else and overall I’m not pleased. I will likely buy something else and no longer use these. Yes both birds were the same size down to 1/10th pound, yes they were inserted properly and in the same area of the breast. I work in food safety and I am very knowledgeable in this area. Skip this and buy something better.

I purchased and received this device in Dec 2023 and have used it at least 5 times since, probes measure both ambient and meat internal temperatures on each probe, great for monitoring oven, smoker or bbq ambient temperatures and the same time meat temperatures. Range hasn't been an issue for the blue tooth signaling, the magnetic base of the booster unit is a neat feature for securing the booster unit, just have to keep it away from the heat. I have read with some of these blue tooth units the signal doesn't work very well when the probe is in a BBQ, smoker or oven, this hasn't been an issue with this unit that I have experienced and while I haven't tried to see how far the booster broadcasts the instructions claim 500' of unobstructed distance. Using this device has shown me just how inefficient my oven is as it relates to maintaining temperature, no wonder I had some much trouble getting doneness right when using a standard meat probe, having to pull out the roast and measure then return to the oven, makes a bad situation even worse when dealing with consistent oven temperatures (every time you open that oven door the temp drops dramatically). The blue tooth connectivity eliminates the need to open that door, lid to the smoker or BBQ. This device and the software app for the phone is amazing, its hard to get the desired finished cook temperature wrong! Alarms are easily set up for low and high ambient temps and the unit alarms when the desired adjustable thru the app internal meat temperature is reached. The software allows the ability to record both the ambient and internal temperatures on a graph showing the curve giving the ability to predict finish times. Now the best part. Yesterday (04-02-2024) I attempted for the first time to use both probes (white and black) and the white probe would not register temperature readings to the booster unit. I attempted to reconnect via blue tooth following the instructions, no go, not sure what is wrong with it. BUT I contacted ThermoPro via their chat app and described what I was experiencing, sent the original order number and a photograph of the unit, talked to representative "Corey" on the app and he apologized for the inconvenience and verified my shipping address and sent a replacement unit. That was yesterday and I received it via UPS today, not that is customer service! Thanks Corey and ThermoPro for not just putting out such a great product but also supporting that product! Sincerly, Mark

Hat nichtmal ein Jahr gehalten, trotz pfleglicher Behandlung...

Purchased probes in June. Had issues in regards to the probes not sufficiently holding a charge when being used. Contacted ThermoPro and they responded within 12 hours with some troubleshooting steps for us to try. After completing the steps, it fixed one issue but one probe still not working 100% so emailed them again with this additional information. They again responded within 12 hours and asked for our mailing address to send new set. Probes were shipped same day and received in 4 days. Have not used new set yet but have charged them and they are both holding charge after 24 hours. Even though first set was faulty, I cannot rate them anything other than 5 as I feel they went above and beyond in resolving our issues in a timely manner!

Broke In under 6 months probes wouldn't hold charge or sense heat

Me emocioné mucho al recibir el producto pero... Desde un inicio el producto presento una falla. La sonda negra en la base indicaba pila al 100%, pero al retirarla de la base en la app indicaba pila al 50% y en la base marcaba 2 rayitas y esa carga no duraba mas de 1hr. La sonda blanca funcionó perfectamente. La segunda ocasión que quise utilizar el producto, al inicio la sonda blanca se conecto bien, pero a los minutos se desconecto y dejó de funcionar. La sonda negra se descargaba rápidamente. Regresé el producto y solicité la devolución.

Bought this moving on from a wired connectionThermo Pro. Once you are able to rely on the internal temperature shown by the probe(s) indicating the product is cooked instead of the time recommended for cooking on the product packaging then in most cases the food just tastes so much better. Overcooking becomes a thing of the past I look to use the probes as often as I can even when I know how long to cook the same product. The app is great and means you can sit or do something elsewhere and then be alerted to the progress of the item. Can't fault it but just make sure that you keep the unit fully charged before you start cooking.
