Nice review.  The only disadvantage over others I've seen is no remote.

Thanks for the info.... it looks pretty nice... a bit pricey but really nice. Not sure if it is water/splash resistant so I'll have to dig further.

I have it nad have used a handful of times. Right now it is back at Thermo works on an RMA to get checked out. I bought the Kit with the Meat probe and the Crocodile clip oven probe. Seems The braided cable got to hot on a flare up when the lid was open and melted the insulation. I will be replacing it however. I could have made another choice I guess but the customer service was pretty good here.  For a few dollars more you can get the Partyq which I think is more bang for your buck.

My experiences with this product are the complete opposite.  The temperatures are very inaccurate, I have a $141 piece of equipment that sits in a box...
