What to know about MEATER MEATER Pro (formerly MEATER 2 Plus)

MEATER's upgraded single probe, renamed from the MEATER 2 Plus. It has a thinner probe with five internal sensors, a 1000°F ambient rating, Bluetooth 5.2 Long Range (250 ft in a typical home) and a dishwasher-safe, waterproof probe. Food Network's 'Best for Serious Grilling' at about $100 on Amazon.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

The spec sheet is the strongest of any in-stock truly wireless probe under $100. It has five internal sensors, Bluetooth 5.2 Long Range (250 ft in open air per MEATER support) and a stainless probe with a zirconia ceramic band. The high ambient rating means it can stay in during searing or over direct heat, where cheaper probes cannot.

Food Network named it Best for Serious Grilling in October 2026, and Engadget's review of the same probe, sold earlier as the MEATER 2 Plus, found it more precise and durable. The charger is bamboo with a magnetic back. Accuracy and range figures are manufacturer ratings rather than lab results.

What to know

Skip it if you cook delicate or thin cuts, since the probe is wider. It also sits right at the $100 limit, and Food Network noted a long setup. Wi-Fi use needs a second phone or tablet nearby.
Performance

Score breakdown

Accuracy

Closeness to reference temperature in independent ice/boiling/water-bath and real-cook tests (ATK, Healthy Recipes 101, TechGearLab, Angry BBQ), plus manufacturer accuracy spec.

7.5
±0.5°F is a manufacturer claim, not lab-verified; Engadget's hands-on impression was positive.
Connection & Range

Real-world signal stability through walls, outdoors-to-indoors and through closed grills; drop-outs and auto-reconnect behavior as reported by testers.

6.8
The claimed 250 ft BT 5.2 range is untested independently; MEATER's earlier probes had limited range in ATK and TechGearLab tests.
Ease of Use & App

Pairing, app quality, alarms, presets, and whether the unit works without a phone (standalone display/receiver).

8.3
Polished guided-cook app, but no standalone display; Food Network noted a long setup.
Durability & Heat Tolerance

Probe ambient/internal heat ratings, waterproofing/dishwasher safety, probe thickness, battery life, and reported failures.

8.5
Rated 1000°F ambient, waterproof and dishwasher-safe (manufacturer claims).
Probes & Versatility

Number of probes, ambient monitoring, suitability for thin cuts, rotisserie, oven, smoker.

7.0
One probe; Food Network found it too wide for delicate proteins. Good for rotisserie and searing.
Materials & Sustainability

Food-contact materials (stainless/ceramic), replaceable probes and batteries, charger materials, recall history.

7.5
Stainless probe with zirconia ceramic band and a bamboo charger; the probe battery is sealed.
Value

Performance per dollar at typical street price, staying within the $100 ceiling.

6.5
$99.99 for one probe whose performance is unverified.
