ORIA Refrigerator Thermometer, Wireless Digital Freezer Thermometer with 2 Sensors, Indoor Outdoor Thermometer, Audible Alarm, Min and Max Display, LCD Display for Home, Restaurants

I have now purchased two of these since the first one works so well. I was totally frustrated and thought my new one wasn't working AT ALL. And then I got an idea of what might be wrong since the new one was reading refrigerators and freezer at the same temperature. The transmission range is farther than you would think so one set in the RV was talking to the other reader in the house. I don't know exactly HOW it was talking - whether it was in the transmission sensor (as suspected) . I took the batteries out of the lesser used one and will put them back in when I need it. They work GREAT but perhaps they need an A/B switch to designate if you have more than one set. OR, if you want to monitor two items close together get a different product for the 2nd one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 Stars: Great product with a minor issue) I purchased the ORIA Refrigerator Thermometer with high hopes of keeping track of temperatures in both my refrigerator and freezer. Overall, it has been a valuable addition to my kitchen, but I encountered a small problem with one of the sensors. Despite the issue with one of the sensors, the other sensor and the main unit are still working flawlessly. 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚 ⭐️ (1 Star: Poor product, wouldn't recommend) ⭐️⭐️ (2 Stars: Subpar product, adequate performance) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 Stars: Average product, satisfactory performance) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 Stars: Good product with minor flaws) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 Stars: Excellent product, meets all criteria and performs as advertised)

I bought one of these months ago and have been very happy with them. I bought another one a few weeks ago. Accuracy is so-so, but you get what you pay for. If you need accuracy, dig deep. Most thermometers aren't all that accurate. It does the job. IMO, the most important things to know about the ORIA wireless Refrigerator Thermometer (frzr and rfg) are these: 1. YES. You can use more than one of these in the same room, but you may have to jump through a few hoops. I went outside and to the other end of the house behind my car. Nope. The main unit still picked up my existing sensors in my main rfg. I could have walked down the street, but I threw it in my truck and waited until I went somewhere, at which time, I paired the set, left the batteries in and took them home. They stayed paired with the new Oria. Now both Orias are doing what they're supposed to do. The rfgs they're in are 10' apart. Once paired, they stick with the 'brain' they're paired to. But you have to get them pretty far away from any existing units. 2. Use lithium batteries for the sensors. Lithium holds up well to the cold. Normal batteries die quickly. You can use normal batteries in the brain.

I was hesitant to try these fridge thermometers because of the mixed reviews. I am very familiar with the operation of these type of devices that communicate/pair with each other so I decided to give them a try. I bought two. Setting them up was easy and on the bench the temps read within 1 deg of all 3 sensors, the remotes and the base unit. I let them sit for a day. They were near other temp devices of a different Brand name. All worked perfect. Installed one in my shop fridge and it has been operational for a week and I see no anomolies. The other one I installed in my Camper, one sensor in the Lithium battery compartment and the other exposed to protected from moisture outside air. Working perfect. The display is a bit dim in low light like others have said. That is ok with me. The other MFG's thermometers that I have are the same way, maybe not quite as dim. The Magnets hold the base unit quite well I currently have 5 other MFG thermometers running around our home and property. I do not use the alarms on any of them. I do pay attention to the base units. Battery install sequence. Go to a place away from any other devices that communicate like these units. 50' away is enough. Check your battery voltages before installing them. 1.6+ volts! If not get another. I use good alkaline batteries like Duracell etc. Never have had an issue with the freezer section of my fridges and freezers. Batteries into the base unit first. Check that the display is on. Install batteries in one sensor. Within about 2 seconds the red led should flash. The Base unit should display the temp of that sensor. If it does not... Remove the batteries from both and wait about 30 seconds and repeat the sequence. If all is ok then do the other sensor. I will return and re-review if I have an issue with these units. I like the price! Ok, 1.5 years and they both are working great. I did replace the batteries in one unit but the other batteries are still good. One unit is for the fridge and freezer and the other is in my motorhome. One sensor is for the battery compartment and the other is in the gray/black tank area. Jim.

UPDATE (12/6/2020): have barely had this unit 2 weeks (purchased 11/20/20) and now one of the sensors constantly blinks 3 dashes every few seconds, and then a temp readout. Batteries are new. Will attempt to send unit back as it is clearly defective, but I threw away the box. We'll see what happens... Picked this up to monitor temps in a basement chest freezer. Main unit is kept one floor up in a timber-built home (there is an unfinished basement ceiling separating the two floors). Range seems solid - transmitters are able to report to the main unit through the steel freezer, one floor up. Total distance is less than 30 feet of separation. Accuracy seems good, though I have not tested these against a professionally calibrated control thermometer. Displays are somewhat easy to read - there is no backlight option. I placed both wireless thermometers in my freezer to see how close they'd read from one another - they seem to be < +/- 1 degree from one another, which is a very good thing for something so affordable. Using these did allow me to realize my chest freezer was NOT safely keeping food at 0F or below (recommended by the USDA), so I cranked up my freezer control to just below the highest setting to achieve a consistent -3F within 24 hours. More disappointed in my chest freezer (which I only bought 6 months ago) than these wireless thermometers! Overall, these are a very good deal for the price being asked. Are they super basic? Yes. Is the build quality top notch? No. But it's not like these are being thrown around. If I had any complaint, it's that the main display is smaller than I expected. Still, I'll keep them. Magnets on rear of main unit are very handy (I keep mine on the side of the fridge one floor up). Recommended.

We have the makings of a perfects storm: We live in a hot climate, have a garage fridge, and young boys who like to get drinks out of the garage. That's why we needed this device. I have a sensor in the fridge, a sensor in the freezer and I keep the main part of the system just inside the house. So far, whenever the fridge starts to warm up because it didn't get shut all the way, the alarm lets us know. It did take me about 5 days to get it all figured out, not keeping the sensor in the door helped eliminate false alarms. It almost always goes off after we load the fridge from a costco run because we have door open long enough to change the temp, but again, it's doing what it said it would do.

I’ve been using the temperature monitor for a week now and my most helpful comment is that it works but don’t expect too much more than that. I am using the unit to monitor temperature in two separate chest freezers. The freezers are in our basement with the base unit attached to our refrigerator. First, the instructions are very hard to read because the print is extremely fine. The instructions definitely do not meet ADA guidelines for readability. I cannot comment on the accuracy of the instructions since I cannot read them. Other reviewers do complain about the quality of the instructions so I will let the reader refer to other reviews for comments. I did find valuable help on YouTube that explains how to setup the limits. I installed new batteries in the base unit and sensors. The unit came to life with temperature readings on both channels. Right away I noticed the display was not very bright. To have good contrast I had to turn the base unit so that ambient light bounced off the display giving me good contrast. With the base unit installed on the refrigerator I have to stand and position myself right in front of the unit to achieve readable contrast. I have a battery operated atomic clock that uses a similar LCD display, that can be read across the room, that has no issues with contrast until it’s batteries start to fail. My freezers are set to -5F and this temperature is verified using an analog thermometer. The digital temperature monitoring unit homes in around -7F. Watching the base unit for a week I notice that the display temperature wanders from -11F to -2F. The analog thermometer rarely moves from the -5F set point. While this temperature display wondering might be a concern in a laboratory environment my home is hardly a laboratory. My purpose in buying this temperature monitoring unit is to alert me to when my freezers are getting too warm signaling a potential failure with subsequent food spoilage. My alarm limits are set to +10F. This is well below freezing but warm enough to alert me to a potential problem. So far there have been no false alarms. I was a little concerned about signal transmission by putting the remote units within the closed freezer but other reviewers reported no issues doing that. So far there has been no issues for me either. Freezer #1 is directly below the base unit which puts it about 8 feet away. Freezer #2 is about 30 feet away from the base unit with no apparent issue there either. Some reviewers have stated that the audible alarm is not very loud. I guess I’m lucky because the unit I have, while not being a fire siren, is amply loud to get my attention. I have a hearing impairment and have no problem hearing this unit at least 20 feet away. The base unit is roughly located in the middle of the house meaning that someone is usually near enough to hear it. My biggest disappointment are the instructions. They might be complete but are impossible for me and my wife to read. Right now the temperature monitoring unit is performing the task I bought it for, I hope the durability of this unit holds up.

I've had this for only 2 days and it saved me twice already! I highly recommend it! I've been monitoring the temperature against a manual thermometer and it's spot on too. How did it save me twice? Once I set the temperature wrong on a full upright freezer full of food and got an alarm overnight to go fix it. The second time happened today while we weren't home since this unit captures maximum temperature. I don't know how long my smaller freezer has been completely defrosting in the middle of the day, but this just alerted me to the problem (showing the max temp of my freezer at 51 degrees) so we know now that we need to toss all that food and stop using the freezer. We would have never known otherwise since the food was completely re-frozen when we got home but after further inspection you can tell it's melted and re-frozen into blocks. This unit is mounted on our fridge inside and monitors my freezers in the garage too. I was surprised that it works that far away.

I bought this unit because we had a freezer fail twice and lost hundreds of dollars throwing food out. This was easy to set up and the alarms works well. I monitored it closely over the first week as I didn't have the temperature range between high and low set wide enough apart and would have it alarming frequently. Now that I have the parameters set it is great and allows me to monitor the Min and Max temps of each freezer between resets and if the alarm goes off then I'd better check the freezer. They take AA batteries and last just fine in the freezer. I would buy this unit again. Very satisfied.

Funciona muy bien. Tengo dos neveras, me da perfectamente la temperatura de cada una de ellas además de la temperatura ambiente. También me da el máximo y mínimo de las últimas 24 horas. Estoy contento con el producto.

Funciona perfecto y marca lo que debe

I bought this on April 2022. Today 18/09/2023 it is dead. I have inserted new batteries no luck. Not a great product

Va bien
