    DO NOT BUY!!!! PIECE OF JUNK!!!!

    • Written by from Manhattan Beach

    IF you are considering getting the iGrill ... DO NOT!!!

    This should say TECHNOLOGY **NOT** DONE WELL!!

    Got as a gift for Christmas, and the reviews we found said it has some issues with syncing or staying connected to Bluetooth. Well, I could only get my iPad to connect, then had to stay within 30 feet (forget what they tell you).

    Then recently tried to get it to synch with my iPad - NO GO. Then tried again, now it just BEEPS and nothing happens. Went to the website, and ANYTHING outside of 90 days - you are screwed.

    They also make a BIG Deal about this on their site, so this product obviously has A LOT of issues.

    DO NOT BUY!!!!!

    Will not read past 400

    • Written by from Griffin

    Good for slow cooking, however if you want to sear a steak or cook past 400 degrees, this item is worthless. I use it on my Primos grill (ceramic "egg" grill) which cooks burgers and steaks better at around 450+.

    Poor quality due to poor manufacturing

    • Written by from Fallbrook

    I exchanged my first purchase because of broken components, and the replacement iGrill was also defective. In both cases components were broken. I will exchange the second product for a third, but if that one is broken in the box I'll surrender. Being a loyal Apple customer, I'm very surprised at the poor quality of this product.

    Arrived broken = terrible product

    • Written by from Miami Beach

    Ordered this in time for Thanksgiving but was shocked to pull it out of the box and see the front of the device fall off, revealing a circuit board. Not the type of product I expect to receive when placing an order from Apple.com. Not one but TWO of the screws arrived completely stripped and fell out of their holes. In addition, part of the plastic casing was broken.

    Apple quickly refunded me the cost but it must do better due diligence on the third party accessories it sells on its site. Although a novel idea, this thing is downright cheap, poorly packaged, and obviously lacking the QA one would expect of an i- branded product.

    No Bluetooth Range!

    • Written by from Kansas City

    The Igrill works great if you are in a travel trailer and grilling outside your unit, but if your grilling in your garage and want to walk to the other end of your home and watch Telelvision, forget it, it won't happen, I could not be more than 40-50 feet away from my smoker using the Igrill, it has no blue tooth range. Sure, it works great if you have fresh batteries and no obstuctions, but if you put a wall between you and your grill the range is very limited. In summary the igrill eats batteries and it has very little range.

    Best Gift EVER!

    • Written by from South Glastonbury

    So, I love to cook but I have a little bit of a tendancy to sit on the couch, start watching Real Housewives and....forget that I put something in the oven. My boyfriend must have gotten sick of having burnt, dry chicken for dinner because he bought me an iGrill last weekend. It's AWESOME, all I have to do is insert the probe into the chicken, set the preset alarm and then I get to sit with a glass of wine and watch TV, what could be better?!? My iGrill app on my iPhone 5 just alerts me when the chicken is done to perfection. No more burnt chicken in this house ;)

    fantastic product, have to share this with everyone

    • Written by from Simsbury

    This really is a great product. Connected seamlessly to my iPad 2, I've used it numerous times to grill turkey, chicken, steak, pork roast, everything! I love being able to monitor my cooking remotely while I continue to prep other food. Battery life has exceeded my expectations. The service has been excellent as well, this company really cares about it's customers!

    Would highly recommend this product to anyone. I don't grill without it!

    Really neat!

    • Written by from Marana

    This is simple, but effective - the ability to time and track your cooking meat with your iOS device is really fun and useful.

    I've found this device to be accurate and reliable.

    Doesn't work as advertised

    • Written by from Colorado Springs

    The Bluetooth range is about 20 ft, not 200.
    Even 10 ft away Bluetooth only works for a while, then you have to take the batteries out to reset to get it to start working again.
    The display turns off after a very short time, making it not very useful as a non-Bluetooth device.
    Great idea, terrible implementation.

    Cool device, but buy from Apple, not iGrill

    • Written by from McClellanville

    The device works well and the software is really impressive. However, it does not come with an ambient temperature sensor, which is very important for smoking/BBQ. This must be ordered from iGrill, and they will gouge you on the shipping costs ($15 to ship a very light $20 probe). Unfortunately, Apple doesn't sell the ambient probe, or you could buy them together and get FREE shipping.

    If an ambient probe is important to you, realize that it will add $35 to the cost of the item. My low rating reflects this shipping expense, rather than the actual quality of the probe, which I think is very good.

    So doesn't meet the Apple standard for quality

    • Written by from Minneapolis

    When this contraption and app work everything is great. It's when it doesn't work that it really fails, which unfortunately is all too often.

    Great idea, good implementation

    • Written by from Sunnyside

    The iGrill is very nicely designed and it works really well and elegantly for what it's designed to do. The integration with your iPhone is the best part of it, and monitoring your food's temperature becomes fun. Recommended!

    Bluetooth is nice

    • Written by from Marietta

    Using an industry standard like bluetooth means appa will be available for a variety of platforms. The possibilities are endless. And the connections rock solid.

    Igrill Convience

    • Written by from Citrus heights

    I liked using the Igrill for monitering my pit temperature when cooking low and slow and use the other probe for monitering the food temperature. It worked great about 3 times then one of the probes failed. I called customer support and was told I could buy another one. so now I just use the one probe. It works as advertised and beats getting up every 30 minutes or so to check on your dinner.

    My best BBQ Friend

    • Written by from Ludvika

    As I'm located in Sweden, it happens quite often that it is not a plessure standing outside by the grill even in the summer. This is when my iGrill does the work perfect for me.
    Just staying under roof enjoying something cold or warm and having ful control over thecooking process!

    Great product

    • Written by from Raleigh

    Love this product, which allows two termomitor lines in. Little bit difficult getting Bluetooth connected to my IPhone for me so I gave 4 out of 5 stars. The Blue tooth feature is great for checking temps n your IPhone anywhere in the house, and getting warnings at Pre-set range.

    Great device

    • Written by from Seven Sisters Falls

    I too have had some issues with the software, BUT when all is working this little piece of cooking hardware is indispensable. I once had a fire, my fault, in my smoker and burned one of the probe wires, making it useless. When I called to purchase a new one I was told that one would be in the mail right away, no charge. Now that is what I call fantastic service.

    Just what I have been looking for!!

    • Written by from Gilbertsville

    I am an avid grill/smoker who has used remoter thermometers in the past.. This by far blows them away. The way it works with my iPad is awesome. Love it!!

    Awesome!

    • Written by from Keller

    I got my iGrill as a present and absolutely love it. I like being able to be away from the grill yet still in touch with what is going on. I would like to see some updates in the app to allow more flexibility.
