Review by J. Malkowski for Oregon Scientific AW131 Grill Right Wireless Talking Oven/Barbeque Thermometer

I happened upon the “Talking Wirless Grill Thermometor (“TWGT”)in Lowes $29). Being a gadget guy I could not pass it up. Got it home, put in the batteries and it worked perfectly. It immediately measured room temp within 1 degree of my digital room thermometer. I Cooked “Beercan Chicken” on the patio grill that weekend. Put the probe into the thigh as directed and placed the base unit on my kitchen counter about 40 feet away. Opened a cold beer and watched the info on the base unit as I prepared other food in the kitchen. No need to periodically go out to the grill and check the chicken. Instead I watched football and the unit as it measured temp up and up. When it was time, it told me “It’s almost done.” Headed to the patio when the unit told me “It’s done”. The TWGT worked great. I was so impressed I went and bought a second one to give as a gift.
Then I tried to use it a second time. I had steak marinated and ready for the grill. Football on TV. Turned the TWGT on but the base was not getting a signal from the probe. I changed batteries, hit the reset button on the probe, shook it, cursed it, prayed. Nothing made it work. I even opened the one I had bought to give as a gift – it did not work either. Both units and probes were on but not communicating with each other. I gave up and cooked the steak the old way by trying to time it, lifting the grill and testing it. Very dissappointing.
Fortunately for me, I love gadgets and did not give up. Later, I kept experimenting, trying to figure out what was wrong. I went to Amazon.com and read a review saying you have to hit the reset button, but I had already tried that too many times without success. Then I figured it out. When you turn on the units, if they do not talk to each other, you have to press the reset buttons on BOTH THE PROBE AND THE MAIN UNIT. I’d never noticed the main unit also has a reset button. I turned on both units, pressed both reset buttons one after the other and –SUCCESS! Both units and their probes started talking. Again they were within 1 degree of room temp. I cannot wait to grill out this weekend! Maybe on Sat. for the Gators and on Sun. for the Bucs.
Summing it up? Yea. It would be a good idea for OE to put a troubleshooting section in the manual to cover this problem. As it is you need to either figure it out or call OE. I suspect many of these amazingly fun grill gadgets are lying unused in some dissappointed owner’s junk drawer. But, if you know the secret (you can probably get the secret if you call OE customer service)this thermometer is fun, and convenient. I won’t grill without it. In fact, I will now use both units at the same time for different foods cooked simultaniously (so much for the gift idea). BTW. The unit’s voice is female and she speaks multiple languages. My advice – set her for French. I don’t speak the language but she sure sounds good.

This is my third wireless thermometer. I use them on my grill which can easily destroy regular kitchen types. This one has held up great and is much more durable in its construction.

For those people that are worried about overcooking meat and fish and creating potential carbon causing cancer, this is this device for you. The voice message announcing “almost done” and “done” is very loud. The overcooked alarms sound from as far away as 50 feet inside the house. For those of you not wanting the voice, there is a less expensive version available from Oregon Scientific.

We bought this from a local hardware store. Our previous thermometers were the analog instant read types and they’ve died. We use this 3 to 4 times a week for cooking fish, hamburgers, steaks, poultry and have been extroardinarily pleased with the results each and every time. Now, if I don’t use it, I can tell the difference. The fish flakes apart perfectly, the poultry is absolutely not bloody, and the hamburgers and steaks are cooked to temperature. There is a setting to set your own temperature if you don’t like the presets.
Make sure to put the probe into the meatiest part of the meat and not touching any bones. Also, don’t put the probe directly over the flame (the manual says these things). I angle it towards the front of the grill so that it is almost under the cover. That way I can close the grill but it is not over direct flame. I’ve cooked from low BBQ temps to High grill and had no trouble with it. It’s made making dinner much less of a hassle.
We’ve not used it in the oven, though it says you can. We had one issue where the base unit lost track of the remote unit. The temperature reading started flashing and it couldn’t reconnect. I turned off the base unit and turned it back on and it reconnected with no further problems.
We like ours so much that we bought another one as a gift.

Open the battery compartments on both the sender and receiver and press the reset buttons at the same time; that solved this problem for me. Thank you Amazon for product reviews.
Review by Michela for Honeywell 38002 Enviracare Universal Replacement Pre-Filter

I follow the manufacturer’s recommendation to change the pre-filter every 3 months on all my Honeywell Air Cleaners with HEPA filters. These replacement filters come boxed in a set of two. The pre-filter simply wraps around the round HEPA filter, which is inside the unit, and attaches to itself by means of two velcro fasteners. It takes less than five minutes to change the pre-filter. In between changes, I vacuum my pre-filters to remove accumulated dust and pet hair from them. These pre-filters do help to remove some odors from rooms, especially if you are able to keep the space enclosed where you have the air cleaner running.Be sure to keep a box or two of these pre-filters on hand in case they become back ordered. The HEPA filter needs to be changed in 1-3 years, depending on conditions where it is located.

This filter is larger (taller) than it needs to be for most machines. You simply trim the filter (and it’s got pre-made perforations) to the height of your machine. And yes, this means that if you have one of the smaller machines, one which is less than half the height of the pre-filter, you might get two pre-filters for the price of one. Bonus.

I’d recommend getting the Honeywell version over the cheaper imitations, so as such, this receives my highest rating. It comes with good installation instructions, and getting it out of the box and onto your Hepa filter is a breeze, so if you’re in the market for one of these suckers (which if you’re like me, means you’re in the market every 3 months), then grab it, it’s cheap and you can count on the quality since it’s made by Honeywell.

An earlier review suggested there were two filters per box. This is not the case unless you have a small cleaner that only requires half the filter, thereby saving the other half for another use. Mine is one of those full size round models, and it required 80% of the one filter in the box.
It cut easily on the scored line, and went on well. I was hoping there would have been two per box based on the earlier review, but am still very satisfied with this product. Plus, ordering three put it in free shipping from Amazon.

This is a good prefilter for my Hepa machines. I live in a congested part of NYC with lots of traffic and have two filters running at all times to keep the apartment’s air clean. These prefilters last between 2 and 3 months, depending on local air quality. When I change them I can really appreciate them – all that disgusting gunk on the filters instead of in my lungs. As others have said, the filters come two in a package. Cut them in half widthwise (do it over a counter because the charcoal gets all over), then wrap the prefilter around the Hepa filter and secure with the supplied velcro strips. That’s it, quick and easy.
