Thoughts?

A bunch of us here on the forum funded back when it was on Kickstarter, and will be receiving ours in January. We'll keep you posted on how they work. I for one am pretty excited about it!
Here's a link to the original thread where you will see all of the people here who admitted to funding/buying including me.

I ordered a 4-Probe block and am super stoked to get mine in January (hopefully)!
-
I am really interested to hear feedback on this, looks really cool. It would eliminate the wires that I always seem to tangle up.
-
Sounds like backers might not get our first release in January, due to a decision to upgrade the battery. Worth the extra wait though.

I would rather have a slight delay and get the upgraded battery. I'll just have to get by with the old Maverick 733 until then. ;)

Sure hope that isn't code for "We're having production problems..." I'd sure like to see this thing in action!
-
Word is that the better battery could not be produced as quickly, and was more expensive, so it was not in the original plans. Apparently having over a million dollars in their back pocket gave them more cred, and "bargaining" power to revisit that option.
-
Yeah, Kari, they did raise some serious capital! Let's hope that translates into a better product, and not better houses/cars/bling for the principals! ???
-
Tony, of course the foolish spending of enormous amounts of cash like that has crossed my mind ;D...but I'm going to remain optimistic. These guys seem to have a lot of background in design and manufacturing processes of electronics, as well as established relationships with vendors, unlike so many others on Kickstarter. Fingers crossed.
-
Hoping right there with you, Kari! I didn't bite at the initial offering, but sure hope it turns out well. I think it's a fantastic concept, and I'll definitely want one!
-
Wish I could get some probes like that for my heatermeter. That would be super nice.
-
Good to see you, Trip! Haven't seen you in awhile.

Thanks
I still check in and get recipes every now and then. Need to post more though.
