" ... The blue tooth range could be a little longer, but over all very cool product. ... "
" ... Good bluetooth range, temp seemed fairly accurate. ... "
" ... This one works fine and has reasonable bluetooth connectivity. ... "
" ... must have iPhone to connect . ... "
" ... Nice small Bluetooth unit. ... "
" ... Still, the extremely minor hassle of pairing is very well offset by the convenience of unit ... "
" ... Once the device was connected via Bluetooth worked like a charm. ... "
" ... So you're only getting the bluetooth benefit of not having to stand there and look at it, but the wire connecting the base device and the temp rod in the meat gets crushed by the grill. ... "
