Has anyone using the inkbird RF 1500 foot range thermos had any probe failure issues.
I have two units, both four probe.
The first one I purchased as a two probe and immediately ordered two additional probes.
I liked it so during a flash sale I purchased a second four probe model.
All showed to be fairly accurate in the ice water/boiling water test.
HOWEVER...
After several months of use I've had two probe failures.
They report ridiculously high temperatures at room temp...
80 to 100 degrees high.
I'm just curious if anyone else has had issues. I " think" I'm being careful with my equipment; I dont "pinch" the leads, I have access holes drilled in all my smokers and hand wash after every use being careful as I can not to submerge probes, cords or plugs.
I really want to like these units...when they work, they are exceptional but a 25% probe failure rate in less than a year is a bit concerning.
