Reviews
RFX System Works Great!
"I have used the RFX probes and gateway several times now and cross checked them against other thermometers. They are very accurate and work great with the app. They have helped me make sure my tomahawk, pork chops and other items turned out fantastic."
Chef 21 years
"I like the wireless temperature probes. It’s so to use, it’s almost like cheating. I use them daily! I keep buying more. The only I have is some will say inactive, but when i click on the probe in the app I get the the temp!"
The probe we received with
"The probe we received with the kit was unfortunately malfunctioning. It wouldn't connect to the app despite multiple resetting attempts. I reached out for support, and Michael M. was able to get us a new probe, which arrived in three business days--a lot sooner than I anticipated. The new probe is working well! It's very unfortunate that we had to be sent a new probe, but the excellent customer service makes up for it."
RFX wireless probes
"Excellent system. The only issue I have is battery inconsistency. Sometimes the battery will last 20 hours or longer and occasionally you get 8 hours or less. Not sure if it's wifi or outside temps affecting it. My wife pre ordered mine as a gift and I've been using them since they were delivered. I probably have 1,000 hours on my probes so they are definitely durable. Absolutely worth the money"
Perfect food every time!
"Love this setup! My father-in-law recommended this to me after I told him his food always comes out perfect. I bought the 2 probe deal and feel like it’s the best money I’ve spent. I love how I can look at my phone and see the temperature of the food rise without even opening the oven. You can also set the high limit temperature so it notifies you when it reaches the temperature you want. No more ruined meals by overcooking or undercooking. Definitely worth the money!"
Replacement for a competitor model
"I was frustrated with the performance of another wireless probe that I have and decided to try the RFX. Well built and works well with the app. Hopefully there are other RFX products in the works and some app development to estimate cooking times."
WiFi connection method sucks
"Having to type your SSID and password manually is already a pain, but my SSID has an apostrophe from my name and it took me 2 hours to figure out the RFX is not compatible with SSIDs that have special characters. So now I have to waste my guest network and make it a more simple name which adds network interference. As far as the functionality, it’s okay so far. Honestly a clunky User Interface for such an expensive product."
This one works
"The first one did not work at all, could not find Bluetooth and even couldn’t turn it off. Called tech support on a Saturday and had one shipped out the same day and it arrived on Monday. 5 minutes and it was working like a champ."
Aside from being incredibly accurate,
"Aside from being incredibly accurate, I had a cook cook sideways and caught fire in the smoker. Temp soared to around 700°. Honestly, wasn't a complete disaster. But what was impressive is the probe, which had turned black, cleaned up nicely and hasn't skipped a beat since. Solid piece of equipment."
On the Inside Counts
"Accurate wireless temps from the middle of your meats makes cooking more accurate with less hassle. Now your cooks can always be on time with great results. Easy to use and no guessing!"
Q&A
- It says it has an operating temperature of 120deg F. Can you use the wired probe monitor the temp of a normal gas grill or oven? Interested in using it in the oven or for steaks on a grill that may get up to 500deg.
- The operating temperature specification for RFX GATEWAY is for the physical unit itself. The included ambient probe can measure up to 572°F. Great for an oven, grill, or smoker.
- I have a RFX gateway, what usb charging devise is needed to charge correctly. Mine does not seem to charge properly.
- Any USB-A to USB-C cable should work. Avoid using USB-C to USB-C cables. If you still have difficulty charging your RFX GATEWAY or have additional questions, call our Utah-based support team at 800-393-6434.
