I replaced my old thermometer that woked for years with this one. I had purchased a Polder dual probe just before but both probes failed in short order. I don't know if their high temp (not ss braided) had anything to do with it. This therm is easy to use and I really like that you can over ride the pre-selected meat temps and that you are not restricted to some low temp like 199 degF. This allows you to bbq/smoke meats to 205 degF and to check your grill temp like 225 or 250 degF.
The only thing I would like is to be able to defeat the alarm. Otherwise I highly recommend it.

Product Overview
The Maverick RediCheck Remote features a transmitter that reads the internal food temperature with a digital electronic food probe, then sends that information wirelessly up to 100 feet away, freeing you from standing next to the oven or grill during the cooking period. When the desired temperature is reached an alarm goes off. Place the transmitter near the oven or grill. Insert the tip of the Food Probe into the center of the food being cooked, and run the probe's lead wire out through the door connecting to the transmitter. The wire is flexible metal sheath and is rated for over 500 degrees F., and isn't hurt by closing the door. The receiver picks up the signal, and displays: the actual internal food temperature, the "set" or target desired temperature, and the type of meat. Each meat type has default taste "doneness" choices for each type of taste (rare, medium, etc.) but you can override any preset temperature and choose your own.
Worked great for one use - jcreview -
The wireless worked great the first time. I was very pleased until I tried to use it the second time and every time since. What a disappointment. My suggestion is don't waste the money.
Worked well at first.... - Chris Rich -
It was working great the first two times I used it. Then, the transmitter stopped communicating it's temperature to the base. I went to their website and followed their instructions but it didn't help. Oh well, out to the trash bin....
Not sure why people hate this.... - Richie - Cary, NC United States
I've had mine for over five years and it has always worked like a champ. For poultry, I always check the temperature with an instant read to confirm for safety and it has always been spot on temperature-wise.
My only complaint is the range...if I carry it too far from a window/sliding door on the back of the house, I lose the signal. I have learned to leave it sit on the window sill or table by the door. I can still hear it alarm when the right temperature is reached and can see the current temp from across the room if I'm tracking the temp for some reason.
