Amazon.com Review
Taylor’s innovative remote thermometer lets the home chef monitor cooking without being tied to the kitchen. A durable transmitter and accompanying pager work in tandem to ensure meat is never overdone. To operate, insert the transmitter’s 6-inch steel probe into the main course and place it in the oven. The probe’s heat resistant chord travels from inside the oven, past a closed oven door, and connects to the transmitter sitting on a nearby countertop. Control settings can be set by type of meat or user-selected temperature. When ready, the transmitter sends a signal--reaching up to 120 feet--to trigger an audible alarm. If temperature monitoring is not needed, the versatile base unit can also function as a simple timer. Both transmitter and pager feature sturdy plastic construction and offer a clear digital number display. The transmitter requires one 9-volt battery while the pager runs with two AAAs--batteries not included with purchase. This product can be used when oven cooking or grilling and comes with a 1-year warranty. -- Amy Arnold

Nice unit...and it works...
...unlike the similar Weber POS.

I bought the Weber wireless remote thermometer from Anazon. I tried using it with next to no success. The base unit would not keep communicating with the remote unit, even when base and remote units were a foot apart. Forget about communication with the remote inside and the base unit at your grill outside. Sent it back to Amazon.

Bought this Taylor unit. Just got it and tried it. Communication is solid and the temperature displays (sender and remote) are accurate. (Kept me from over-cooking a niceribeye I was trying to cook rare.) No problem communicating with the grill outdoors and me inside...even with 32 F weather. The displays are plenty big.

Minus is that the plastic used in the construction of the two units does not seem real rugged or very high quality. The warranty is also only one year vs. the 10 years that Taylor gives on their wired unit.

It looks promising...and at least it does work, unlike the Weber.

Ingenious and Functional
Cook's Illustrated, a magazine that among other things extensively compares kitchen items and equipment wrote that this is the best remote meat thermometer, and I can't disagree. It is much more programmable and flexible than other makes. It works well in the oven, on the grill, in the smoker. I used it to cook a brisket for 12 hours when on vacation with my family. Having this device allowed me to leave the smoker and spend time with people instead of feeling like I had to be at the smoker to check progress all day long. The temperature seems to read acurately, the transmition range, although it may not be as long as the manufacturer states, is still very long, at least 70 feet while going through walls. I can't wait to use it for other items. Now I wish they made a remote oven thermometer so I could monitor the temperature at different spots in my grill or smoker without removing the lid.

Taylor Very Helpful!!
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.
