4 probes in a little over a year? What is the warranty and how many did they replace under it? Thermopro had lifetime probe warranty if purchased before 2017 then went to three years for the whole therm and probes. Most companies have at least a year on everything. The only Thermopro product I own is the TP-19 @ $20 a year ago which is the closest to Electronic Temperature Instruments, Ltd
Thermapen Mk4 but with a 3 year warranty now $30. I think our sponsor
Inkbird is extremely generous with the fantastic giveaways although if you don't review, then your disqualified from future giveaways which is fine, but you should have a year to get wise with the experience of the product let alone the warranty. I haven't been in but a few giveaway opportunities and have never won and have been reluctant to enter over the past several giveaway offers because I don't want to be squeezed and didn't do it to others. I'll never review anything until given the time to make an honest review.
Inkbird giveaways on FB smoker pages don't have disqualification ultimatums. I've bought the
Inkbird Sous Vide, then three black
Inkbird instant read therms to give away before the orange rechargeable came out for my own testing. Only one failed after a year and replaced at no charge through PM on SMF. That's what's great about buying from SMF sponsors. You can track them down here vs the snail trail path.
Inkbird offered a free rechargeable one if I bought it online through paypal then I would be credited. Just send it no hoops to jump through. It's free. Too hokey. This scenario I'm responding to, if the thread starter won this here on SMF and gave a hasty generalization within a month of receiving it and using it daily may have a, hindsight is 20/20 moment after 4 probes failed in just over one year. Just sayin. Don't bust a nut just because it's free and the sponsor is squeezing for a quick review. Give it time. Unless they allow you to change your review down the road, if possible.
