I guess the bottom line is that it does do the job, but...150 foot range? Not with a hurricane at its back. With brand new batteries, mine is a bit inconsistent at 25' line of site or 10' through an interior wall. Also, you can't disable that loud voice. When I'm cooking a 5 lb roast beef, I don't want her yelling "YOUR FOOD IS ALMOST READY!!! YOUR FOOD IS ALMOST READY!!!" when it's 10 degrees under the target temperature. I slow cook, and that means I still have a good half hour to go. I'd prefer a nice old fashioned beep.Also, it seems that if it doesn't get a signal for a while, it simply stops updating and the temperature changes to "---" without any audible warning. Now you've got to go back through the startup routine to find out what the current temperature is.
