What the MEATER Plus is
The MEATER Plus is a wireless meat thermometer. MEATER's page lists $79.99 and a Bluetooth range of up to 165 ft depending on obstructions, a rechargeable probe with over 24 hours of continuous cooking, and a charger that runs on one AAA battery, which can last up to a year. The probe has an internal sensor to 212°F and an ambient sensor to 527°F.
MEATER's page says the probe is dishwasher safe, but it also calls it "water resistant" in one place and "waterproof" in another, and Bob Vila's 2023 reviewer recommended hand-washing, so hand-washing is the safer choice.
What the reviewer found
Bob Vila (April 6, 2023) rated it 9.5/10 and called it a wise buy for avid grillers and smokers: no wires and a 165-foot range via the charger's repeater. Cons were price, one protein per probe and poor fit for small bone-in cuts or patties. The reviewer did not report measuring real-world range, and the app needs iOS 10.3+ or Android 5.0+.

How to tell whether today's price is fair
We don't publish a price chart or a predicted price for the MEATER Plus on this page, because we can't back one up with recorded data here. What we can give you is a method that works for any product, and the free Zroppix extension that applies it for you on the Amazon page.
- Confirm the exact version. Model year, size, colour and bundle can each change the price. Read the title and the variant selector, not just the headline.
- Open the price history. Use the Zroppix extension (90-day history on Amazon pages) or another tracker such as CamelCamelCamel or Keepa. Where Amazon shows its own price history link, use that too.
- Compare today's price with the lowest in the window. At or near the low is a fair price. A big "percent off" badge on its own proves little, as our guide to sale badges explains.
- Check who sells it. Amazon or the brand is safest. Compare against the manufacturer's own site, which may run separate promotions.
- Set an alert if the price isn't right yet, and decide on your own timeline. Nobody can tell you what the price will do next.
Who should look at it
- You smoke or roast long cooks: the range and no wires help.
- You cook patties or small cuts: a probe fits badly.
- You only grill occasionally: an instant-read costs less.
Common mistakes when buying
- Expecting full 165 ft in a real house. It depends on obstructions.
- Buying the wrong MEATER model.
- Putting the probe in the dishwasher against Bob Vila's advice. Hand-wash to be safe.
- Trusting the list price.
