Quality is not so good and time remaining is wrong
I like the information I get BUT it cannot be over 4 hours remaining when it is only 10 degrees away from the goal. This needs some serious work and improvements! Also, my Probe 1 runs out our charge during one use while Probe 2 maintains charge well. So the quality is questionable
Works well!
No problem…no issue.
Update issues
Prove worked great before updates. Now it never connects back to my phone
Chef iq mini oven
The phone app does not work for my wife who’s visually impaired this is a gibbet. How can you make the probe work, but the mini oven does not work when Accessibility mode is on. I purchased this for my wife so she can be independent when cooking she enjoy cooking before she lost her vision please please please please 100! Update the app so my wife would be able to use it without any problems

Won’t work!
Can’t charge my unit. Light won’t come on.
Could be amazing
Regularly forgets WiFi and Bluetooth. Have to delete and re-add. Otherwise great product.
It’s not been good
I’ve had these for about three years and have kept trying to remain optimistic about them, but they’ve been pretty frustrating.
They always seem to be dead when I actually want to use them, and then when I put them back to charge, they often won’t shut off properly.
The biggest issue, though, is temperature accuracy. Compared side-by-side with a traditional wired probe, these are consistently and considerably off on temperature, which makes them hard to trust when cooking.
I’m glad to see they’ve updated the newer version. Hopefully they’ve addressed some of these issues, because the concept is great—the execution just hasn’t been reliable for me.

Large room for improvement
At least two glaring issues. Stop offering me to buy more appliances after the first time. And seeing ambient temps should not require multiple steps.
Everytime you use it you will have to reconnect
Most of the time you turn the probes on they won’t connect to your app. Constantly have to turn it off and on again to get them to connect. I don’t fully trust the temperature that it’s giving me. Seems like a very gimmicky item where the app seems cool but when you go to use it has almost zero purpose because it doesn’t work ever. Good luck if you don’t have WiFi. Everything these days requires WiFi even telling you what your meat temp is. I’ve had it for just over a year and it used to work great when it was new. Now it has nothing but problems and dies so fast I can’t even get through a tri tip without it screaming low battery. Go grab a regular thermometer from a grocery store if you want the temperature of your meat without the hassle of technology always getting in the way.

Unreliable
Been about a year and every time I go to use the device it won’t pair to my Bluetooth. For the amount of money this thing cost, it’s just not reliable.
Won’t work probe not connecting
See title
Junk
These things are junk. Charged up the probes and case connected to it then an hour or so later it says battery low and no readings. Then I put it back on the dock and started the whole process over again. This whole system is needlessly complicated and more of a headache than benefit. Only used 3 time 250 degrees or less and just terrible. Wish I could send these back but I guess 2 cooks worth is what they are built to do?
Update. Probe 2 disconnected after I moved it to wrap the pulled pork. What a piece of junk these things are.
Dropping to one star because I cannot get the live notification in the Dynamic Island to go away. Prob have to uninstall the app at this point.

Freaking useless
If their was a zero star that’s what I would pick. Damn thing is impossible to connect and tons of Not Wanted ads
Elevation always gets overlooked
We live at 7300 feet and it’s always a challenge to figure out the tweaks a recipe needs when it comes to cook times because of elevation. You know you guys want to add this 🙂
Limited accessibility For The Blind
Spent the extra money to purchase this oven specifically because it had an app that allowed the user to cook from your phone. As a Blind iPhone user, I use voice to access apps on my phone. This app is partially accessible, but not enough to run the app 100% from voiceover making the appliance not truly accessible to me. For example, when I go to set the time or temperature, I cannot access the ticker in order to adjust these items. I can click on the temperature, and it brings up something where I’m supposed to be able to change the temperature, but I am 100% unable to do so. Also, I thought I would solve the problem by saving my frequent temperature settings using the favorite function. Times/temperature settings saved here, (supposedly) allow the user to click on the recipe and start it. However, every time I click to start a time/temperature setting from the favorite section, I get an error message that tells me that the settings were not sent correctly. I have attempted this multiple times but I get the error the same way every time. This app and product have a lot of potential, but right now, it needs a lot of work to work with voiceover. If this was corrected, many vision impaired people would be purchasing this item.

Cook time badly flawed
Estimated cook time is badly flawed. Consistently seems to get stuck thinking it will be an hour until it’s done when the temperature is still rising at the same rate.
Good when connected
Works nice but constant connection issues, painful to connect over and over again
This
Nice
Kinda garbage
These things are nice when they work but constant disconnects requiring resets kill the experience. The automatic timers are wildly inaccurate. I’d shop elsewhere.
Garbage
they worked good for 5 cooking sessions before they all failed over a 2 month period.
But they were junk, I’d like to purchase more but I have NO TRUST IN THEIR PRODUCTS
