My view of Inkbird isn't as high as some of y'alls. I have an older 4 probe therm that the app is worthless for now, and up until about 2 months ago I gave them credit for the probes being pretty durable. Right about 2-3 months ago, one of my probes started reading 8-10 degrees low. No big deal, I had one I'd never used. Got the new one out, and it reads about 4-5 degrees high. I thought about buying replacement probes, but since the unit itself has apparently been abandoned by Inkbird tech, F it. I'll use it as is until something else catches my eye.
I also have one of their cheap little vac sealers. It works pretty good, but I'm on my second one. Heat strip crapped out on #1 and after a ton of back and forth with them telling me to unplug it then plug it back in (duh, I unplug it and plug it back every time I use it) not once or twice but at least half a dozen times, me having to send them pictures and VIDEOS of me plugging the damn thing in repeatedly, and making it a pain in the anal cavity to use the 1 year warranty, I'm done with buying their products. I'll take something for free, because, well, free, but no more of my cash goes to any of their shiny new stuff.
I know many of you rave about the wireless probe, but how nice will it be when the app no longer supports it?
I noticed last night or the night before that I had a sous vide Inkbird stick in my cart saved for later, it's no longer in my saved for later stuff.
The only thing that I still like to use from them is my instant read. And when it dies, I'll find a different manufacturer for a new one.
I ain't mad, I'm just over it. The vac sealer nonsense was what pushed me into "over it"
