Smart features fail; basic grill recommended instead
The smart features on this grill do not work reliably. Pairing the Bluetooth thermometer with the app is difficult, and the app fails to detect the home network even when the router is nearby, requiring manual network entry. A required thermometer software update fails repeatedly despite the phone being very close, fresh batteries, and no probes connected. The technology adds significant cost without functioning, so the basic grill is the better choice.
- − difficult Bluetooth pairing
