MEATER Reviews 

Works very bad. App people don't know what they're doing. Had several issues with my Meater+. The device itself is genius. When you have the bad software working with the device it's good. But the slightest issues with updates or pairing and you're practically without a device. And then.. suddenly there's another update and it works.
Give up on the app people guys!
Today, my Meater is not working .. again..

This is the biggest waste of money out there. My $18.00 dollar WalMart probe works better than this piece of garbage EVER will. It WILL NOT stay connected. It’s pure garbage. Every time I try to use I get infuriated that I spent my hard earned money on it. Don’t waste your money on this crap.

MEATER Pro 2 plus

It’s not great
Estimated cook fluxes frequently
Connection range very short (40ft max)
Overall not reliable
Doing an overnight brisket right now. Probe and base no more than 50ft from my room and no connection. Not great when it’s 1:40am and you’re trying to sleep care free.
Cooking on a Traeger and it’s WiFi connection to my phone is no issue

If I could give Zero stars I would! i wanted to love the Meater Block but it has been nothing but a disappointment from the start. Now less than a year in and it will not even power on. I have been on hold with Support for 52 minutes with no answer and the chat states a 20 minute wait. What a waste of over $200! I would run not walk away from this probe!

I will start with I will admit error on my part but Meater possibly saved my house and definitely saved my cook. I had too much pork on my Masterbuilt Gravity smoker so air flow was not ideal. I thought things were going well so I went back to bed. An hour later I was awakened to a flare up alert from my Meater Pro Duo. I jumped up and found a good size flame shooting up and burning part of the pork. Once I got fire out I was able to drop temp down and finish in the oven. In hind sight I realized that my grill was a little too close to my gas cans for the mower. Thank goodness for Meater App alerting me and saving the day. I would recommend using this product. Works great. Looked back at graph and it read 510 degrees at one time! Thank you, Meater.

This will get buried but does not work. Changed battery and laid my phone directly on top of the device. Still could not connect. Worked one time but if i moved my phone anywhere but the shelf connected to the grill, then connection was lost. Technology is not there.

I just recently purchased the Meater Pro Duo. I can cook just about anything....except for pork, doesn't matter what cut, it always seems to be a disaster. So of course for this Mother's Day my MIL requested a pork tenderloin with a cherry sauce. To make sure this cook was successful I invested in a Meater Pro Duo. Excellent piece of equipment, the probe setup is easy, and clear instructions on how to use them. These probes and the accompanying app even takes into account hold over cooking and rest time! The food turned out amazing and now Im confident in cooking pork. Great work you guys!!

Biggest piece of junk gimmick I have ever purchased. The idea is amazing. The execution is total garbage. When the thing actually works, it is awesome! Unfortunately, getting it to work is almost impossible. The first 5 or so cooks.went perfectly. Then, the thing became junk. It never wants to connect. It constantly tells me the battery is low after I just put a new battery in. If it actually connects, it works great. But, I'm sick of constantly dealing with connection issues with a full battery and everything sitting right next to each other. I will never have another meater product in my house ever again.

Great packaging, style and intended functions but the Bluetooth connectivity, range and reliability is absolutely horrible and has been out of the box - even when I’m standing 10’ from the smoker. If it stayed connected and was able to be used from inside a building for example, it would be a 5 star product but as is, it’s horrible. Super disappointed as it was not cheap - would not buy again without some sort of guarantee

Grill out back and downstairs and losses connection when I go up to kitchen worst product ever never should have bought it

Tried to sign up from app on iPhone and it wouldn’t allow me to enter password. Meater AI “help” said sign up from website. As soon as I put in email it said it sent me something to make sure I’m who I said I am …. Nothing came..
tried to get back on to AI’chat’… not there. This whole system set up is wonky and someone should lose their job.
My dog smells buts to make sure they say who everyone is… that’s where I’m putting this useless thermometer

I was given a meater pro as a gift. If I walk more than about 30ft from the grille I lose connection. Also the estimated time for it to reach temperature is horrible. I am using a camp chef pellet smoker that was at 218 steady showing on the device and it took over an hour longer than estimated. I will stick with the affordable probes that plug into the smoker if I have to be near it anyways to connect.

Very disappointed. I've tried multiple beef cooks as well as Turkey and no matter what type of meat it is undercooked. I can set the cook to well done and would be lucky if it would pass for medium rare

Purchased a four probe block in 2022. Problems with connectivity block has to be within arms distance of the probes to work. The last few times I’ve used it the batteries have been dead. When fresh batteries installed and probes charged overnight started losing signal numerous times per cook. Finally quit working all together. Will not power on at all. Spoke with customer service to see if I could send back for repair. Nope they don’t repair. Could only offer me to buy a new controller for $130. Be careful buying from a company that cannot repair their own equipment. I told them I would not spend another$130 to fix a product that they don’t stand behind. When I told them I would fine another company with a better product they said ok thanks for calling. Would not buy from them ever again. I now have 4 probes and a block that are useless.

You have to be 5 feet from your grill for this device to even semi work… I’ve bought two of these devices thinking the first one was a Lemmon. They are both garbage… wouldn’t even give them away.
Both of them currently reside in a landfill somewhere.

It loses contact with the base unit more often than not. Find myself going back to corded thermometers
Shame, had high hopes

Won't connect. Won't stay connected. Connection drops. Pairing fails.

I've been trying to use these things since the cursed things came out. When they work, they're great. They hardly ever work. Don't buy this shit.

I'm sure this isn't helpful but I just tried to use one of these worthless things to cook a steak and it yet again failed. I've three of the damned things and not a single one of them will hold a connection. Garbage, garbage, garbage. Tired of it.

The probe hardware is fantastic, simplifies the cook and cleaning and management of tools so well. I would love to see some improvements in the app: firstly a chart view with multiple probes displayed at the same time instead of only one at a time. And then a way to turn off the videos to streamline and reduce the number of clicks to get a cook going would improve things a bit

Love my meter block. Use it all the time. Best purchase for smoking meats.

Constant disconnects. Don’t buy if you have an electric stove.
