Bluetooth Dome Thermometer

I never leave bad reviews typically, and try to look at the good in all products, giving them a chance. I was excited when I picked up the Bluetooth Dome Thermometer at my local ACE True Value the other day. The good was that the digital readout was very accurate. I loved the backlight feature using it the first time to put a couple of butt roast on at 4 am in the dark. The bad to horrible was that I couldn't be more than 6 feet away and I'd lose connectivity. I couldn't have been more than 8 feet away, inside my home, standing next to an open window, and it would not connect to my iPhone 12 Pro. The other thing is that it does not alert you in the event you do lose connectivity, which is something BGE should add. It will tell you the last reading unless you close the app out and open it again. I took mine back to exchange it, thinking it was a defect. The replacement had the same exact issue. Returned for a refund. BGE really needs to work out the bugs. Reading other comments I found online, this seems to be the most common complaint. Currently, not worth the hundred bucks they are asking, so don't waste your money.

Don’t buy this. They haven’t worked out the bugs. Huge BGE fan here. Been using for 15 years but this product is a big disappointment from them. First the clip on the back won’t snug up to the dome so the thing spins and wobbles around when you open the lid. Old thermometer clip won’t fit the Bluetooth one. Second the Bluetooth range is horrible. Not only will it not connect when I’m inside (glass wall and 20 ft away from egg) but I have to be within 6 feet of it for it to connect.
