Remote Thermometer: Maverick ET732 or another?

Anyone anyone have the ThermoPro TP08?  That one doesn't look bad and has decent reviews on Amazon. 

wife just bought me an grill 2 with four probes for $69.00 on the Bay. I currently use an grill mini for food ,with one half of my maverick for dome temp. caveat emptor ....igrill is bluetooth only...

After reading the rave reviews of Maverick products I bought one. What a pile of crap. In a cup of ice one probe read 21* other read 53*. And never read the same. In boiling water one read 207* the other 216*. Contacted them was told you don't cook ice so who cares. And was told that 5* at boiling temperature is acceptable. While I will agree we don't cook water this things are fairly simple devices. No reason for it not to be accurate across the board...not that 5* either side of boiling is accurate. I tossed this thing in the trash and bought a ThermoWorks handheld.  Ice water....both read 34*....boiling water both read 210*...everytime.....

If someone that represents the manufacturer of thermometers told me "who cares, you don't cook ice" I would return it to them. If it's not accurate at ice temperatures, and it's not accurate at steam temperatures, then it is absolutely worthless to me for any temperature, can't be trusted.

That's what benchmark temperatures are for. I have a thermapen, & an iGrill2. They both read the same thing at the same time.

If what @dougcrann said is true, I would never buy a Maverick.

I've had a Maverick ET732 for 4-5 years and it's always been reliable.    Today, it died.   It keeps reading LLL on the temp gauge, no matter the temp.    Can't find a way to reset it.  I want another that does all the same things:   Dual probe for meat and grill, alarms for waking me up during overnight cooks if temp gets off, etc.   Would you buy another Maverick or have you found another brand you find better?

You just have a bad probe. Order a new set. 

Just read some reviews on Igrill 2. The OP might want to take a look before going in that direction:

I have always been very happy with my Guru2. However, yesterday's long brisket cook the CPU overheated and locked up, at a crucial point of the cook. It was in 90*F+ and in the direct sun. 
I disconnected it from the probes and the AC converter, and placed it in the fridge. After about 20 mins I reinstalled the unit, and although functioning, I did notice it struggled with temp control throughout the rest of the cook. IT food probe worked, read to within +- 2 degrees of my thermapen. I was using a KAB, and I had just completed a thorough cleaning of the XL. I used my temp gun to check grate (pit) temps, and the readings were again good, but although reading 225F on the guru2 there would be sudden down spikes in temp and the CPU did not respond with air acceleration, unless I manually adjusted the temp setting about 5F.
I may be in the market if I can't get this operating to my satisfaction.
I will be reading this and and asking questions as well. Thank you for posting.
