In spite of some very mixed reviews, I purchased this for several reasons: (1) the price was great and for a few more bucks I added the Square Trade protection so I felt there was little to lose. (2) The Ivation unit includes BOTH a high and low temperature warning for the thermometer monitoring the grill. I have noticed that a number of otherwise appealing lower-priced alternatives only give you a high alarm. This is a BIG deficiency in my book and an important asset of this Ivation thermometer. (3) I wanted to compare it to the much more expensive Thermoworks Smoke that I also purchased recently since I often have two grills going simultaneously.
I just bought this Ivation so have only had time to use it once. However, I have to say that I was very favorably impressed. The alarms worked as intended for both high and low on grill and on the food. My comparisons to my very accurate "pen" thermometer showed that the temp readings were on target. In my opinion, some of the negative comments may be because people (1) expect instant temperature response that this kind of thermometer isn't going to do; (2) are too rough on the probes and wires or wash them too aggressively or with submersion; (3) and in some cases get one that was damaged in shipping or from a manufacturing failure.
I hope to do comparisons with my Smoke unit and use it for a while to see if problems crop up. I plan to update this review.

Product Description
This long-range wireless meat thermometer makes your cooking, grilling and BBQ'ing much easier and far more precise, the thermometer has a wireless range of up to 300 feet. The wireless receiver clips onto your belt or sits in your pocket, enabling you to monitor your BBQ from indoors or from across the street! While your meat is grilling, the receiver talks to the probe to update you in real time. The meat's temperature is constantly displayed and an alarm sounds at any temp you desire for a perfect cook every time. Two stainless steel probes are included so you can effectively monitor two independent heat signatures at the same time. Monitor your grill's chamber and a meat; monitor a meat and a chicken; or even monitor two cuts of meat for different levels of doneness. Each probe features a 3-foot wire that's rated at up to an incredible 716°F. This Meat Thermometer also Features a loss-of-signal alert that sounds an audible alarm if you remain out of range for more than 60 seconds or if the receiver has lost connection to the transmitter.

Great dual temp thermometer with extra features, with an alarm you can not silence!
The GoodGreat dual thermometer allowing food temp and grill temp to be monitored at the same time. It also has a cooking timer and a "count up" timer (if you want to monitor how long it takes for a food item to finish cooking). The monitor allows you to step inside your house and still monitor food and grill temperature. It also monitors your food temp and lets you know when the food has reached the pre-programmed temp.The FrustratingThere is a minimum and maximum temperature feature you can set for the grill temp to let you know if the grill drops below or rises above a preprogrammed temperature range altering you that your temp is too high, or possibly during a long cook, that your fire is going out. I like this feature with one exception - once the alarm sounds advising you of your grill temperature deviation, there is no way to shut off the beeping alarm, so you are forced to listen to it until you restore your correct temp (sometimes 10 minutes or more). Very frustrating if all you are doing is opening the grill to make an adjustment or check something causing a brief drop in temp. The only way to disable is to shut the monitor off, erasing your cook time, or adjusting the min/max temp range and then re-adjusting it once your fire is back in range. If this could be resolved this is an affordable 5-star thermometer!

Cumple la expectativa, pero no es la mejor calidad
