Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Wireless Oven Thermometer with Remote Pager
Customer Review: Great device - Until the probe fails
Summary: 2 Stars
If the probe was not so fragile I'd give this unit 5 stars. The remote works well although I have had it lose contact with the sender if I was out in front of my house (my grill is on the back deck). This is a minor annoyance, but what really ticked me off was that the probe failed (indicating "HIGH" reading) in conditions where my MIU France unit keeps on going. Unfortunately the MIU France unit doesn't have the remote capability. I purchased about 5 extra probes for the Taylor unit directly from Taylor by mail. But within a few weeks several of those failed. I don't mind having to replace a probe once in a while but when you have to replace two in one cooking session it gets pretty annoying. I'd suggest staying away from this unit.Customer Review: Taylor Very Helpful!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My experience couldn't be more different than the previous buyer's. My thermometer and pager link flawlessly, alerting me continuously to temperature changes, and when the pager is out of range of the base. I bought this 10/05, and when the probe died a few weeks ago, I contacted Taylor, who responded quickly by email, alerting me of the LIFETIME warranty on the device. I shipped it back to them, and they ship me a new one. Original receipt and box NOT necessary. I have found the device very accurate, reliable, and useful. It has saved many a roast, steak, etc, as I am prone to starting cooking, and getting distracted by other projects. I am very pleased.Customer Review: Great unit
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this combo unit back in early 2006 for my BBQ. Not quite sure what to expect -- I ordered the unit.
For 3 cooking seasons (summer times) in Michigan, this unit has worked flawlessly! My wife has taken it from me, when I am not using it, and uses it for her cooking. The digital display of internal meat temperature puts her undercooking/overcooking fears at ease.
I have replaced batteries only once since I have purchased this unit. I use Duracell alkaline batteries to get the best results.
My son took my recommendation and bought one for himself. I recommend this product without any reservations!
Customer Review: Stay away from this Item!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I LOVE to grill but I keep my grill a fair distance from my house while cooking so you can imagine the excitment I had in purchasing this item with the wireless transmitter. First, it took more than 1/2 an hour to get the two pieces to communicate with each other. Secondly, and worst of all, on just my second attempt using it I was watching my pork roast temperature from the comfort of my kitchen when the temperature value jumped to "HIGH". I immediately went out to check it and the probe is DEAD!!! There's no way to purchase a replacement probe so the whole thing is just a fancy kitchen timer!! Taylor is NO HELP!!Customer Review: Unit Failed
Summary: 1 Stars
The product has a real cheap feel. I have another unit from another manufacture and it's feels more solid and seems to work better.
I liked the features but it just doesn't seem to hold up. The unit I have right now no longer will show the temp. It just shows HI or LOW. Before that I had issues where I had to reboot the system or power it off and leave it off for awhile before it would work again. The unit just needs to work. You have cooking to do not fighting with your tools.
Just pass on this one and buy someone elses product.
