Yep I went and bought one also. if nothing else I'll use my old phone to send out the wifi. Always wanted to try one, so why not now.

But it seems this sucker is divisive as hell. Half the people hate it cause it doesn't work, the other half love it cause it does lol. Seen this not just in the slickdeals forums, but bbq forums also

Kinda silly. Putting a wireless device inside a big metal object. I'm ok with the $7 Govee Bluetooth meat probe, and it's integrates into Home Assistant flawlessly.

For the price I'm willing to take a chance. Worst case I return it. I've had no problems making a return in the past so....

I have a meater plus but accidently fried the probe on a high heat cook. Are the probes between regular and plus the same? If so I'd buy this just as a replacement probe.

In my opinion, these are only worth it if you use them in a smoker, kitchen oven, or toaster oven unless have a mad level of careful in your blood.

I do elaborate cooks in my Breville Air toaster oven. Another reason these work well with kitchen ovens and toaster ovens is because ovens have a front glass door that, unlike metal, does not block radio frequency waves used by bluetooth. So you can put the bamboo base anywhere roughly perpendicular to the glass and have a good signal link to the thermometer.

With this woot model (original meater) you would still have distance problems between the bamboo base and your phone. Would probably still have to use a spare mobile device placed beside bamboo base to make a link to your phone. At least it would be a wifi link at that point so you could be anywhere.

I own this thermometer from their crowdfunding days. works well.
Out of curiosity, in your setup, how far is the thermometer from the bamboo base, and how far is the bamboo base from your phone when you cook?

A Woot Staff confirmed this is the Meter Original, not Meater+. And they'll also offer returns: https://forums.woot.com/t/meater-.../941932/23

They figured out their mistake....



Woot here. We messed up and advertised your MEATER True Wireless Smart Meat Thermometer with a picture of the Meater Plus. Sorry about that! All other information about the item were correct. If this is OK with you, great! Nothing else to do on your end and we hope you enjoy your item. If this is a deal-breaker, please let us know and we can assist with a return for a full refund. For return requests or further questions, we can be reached via email at [email protected] or by going through the Customer Service Support form on the website. Once again, we are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Just received the product. I can confirm it's Meater, and not the plus version.

HOWEVER, the product I received has been kept in a bad condition, and is not usable (mold & rust all over the product) It was so bad that I had to wear gloves to put them in a trash bag until I can solve out the problem.

In all fairness, I contacted Woot and Meater. Haven't heard back from Woot, but Meater says they'll get back to me within 3 days.

In all of online shopping experiences, this is definitely a memorable one. 😱

Wow. That was crazy fast shipping. Sucks about the product though. Thanks for the info.

Yeah. Pretty sh*tty experience from both meater and Woot. The meater came with mold and rust, and Woot says no replacement, but just return it, and meater wont support behind their product because it's bought from somewhere else.

Guess I won't be able to use the meater as I hoped. But with this type of experience. I don't know if I'll buy their products again.
