 You will be sorry. November 27, 2008
S. Thomas Phillips (Ohio)
I bought two of these and both are broken. If the cable touches the sides of the grill lid while cooking it will burn the inside of the cable and stop working.
I called for an replacement and was told it would cost as much as a whole new unit.. Thanks but no thanks I have learned from their mistake..
Does Not Last . . . November 26, 2008
Steve Clark (San Antonio, Texas)
As other reviewers, I have and like other OS products. However, this one only lasted about 4 uses. The temperature no longer reports correctly from the remote sensor to the monitor if it reports at all. Very disappointing!
BBQ Thermometer You Cannot Use on the BBQ November 15, 2008
P. STEIMEL (Germantown, MD USA)
This actually worked well in the oven inside the house. But the first time it went outside to the gas BBQ it broke. I did not have the probe in any flames, it was in the chicken and the lid was closed to minimize flare-ups. If they would have advertised this for indoor oven only use, I may have said a nice thing or two about it.
I'm not sure if I will try to go through the hassle of trying to find another probe (don't know if they sell them), the hassle of returning the unit, or the hassle of kicking myself whenever I see it in my kitchen wondering why I did not pay more attention to the negative reviews.
Do not buy.
Worked once, then died; no customer service response October 3, 2008

I got this on sale last year for about $23. I thought it was a good deal at first, but I got what I paid for. I used it once in January, then decided it was too cold to grill out. So I took the batteries out and put it away until May. When I put the batteries back in, the remote base turned on, but the main unit would not. I tried a different set of batteries, but that didn't help either. Resetting and re-connecting the devices (as the manual suggested) was useless, because the unit just wouldn't power up. I sent an email through Oregon Scientific's website (because there's not a phone number to be found), and received no response. Well, if you count an auto-generated "thanks for your inquiry" type email, they did send that. After this poor experience, I will not buy another Oregon Scientific product.
Poor Quality Product - Customer Service Even Worse September 14, 2008

Purchased this as my 3rd attempt with a remote meat thermometer. Like most units it was a bit flaky when wirelessly connecting the remote unit with the base. The range, however, was pretty good and the presets by meat type were useful. Like other reviewers, the unit decided about a month along to flash the maximum temperature and refused to ever work again. I made the mistake of emailing Oregon Scientific, who couldn't be bothered to reply to their own customer service email account. I have now given up on all digital and remote thermometers, and now buy the inexpensive analog models that actually work.
