For how long does the poinpoint probe works before it needs to be replaced? Thanks.

Depends,A year or so maybe.I would test the PH with another testing kit from time to time.

The probe will last for years with proper care and maintenance. If you are setting it up in an aquarium keep the tip clean with a soft toothbrush and vinegar if you get algae buildup. And calibrate it every time you replace the battery on the unit.

I use my pinpoint every day and the probe is still accurate. I think it is almost a year old.

I don't know for sure but I had mine 6 mo's with no problems. Just keep the tip clean wit a soft tooth brush and calibrate it each cleaning.I like this meter better than any in the few dozen I've tried.

No - the instructions clearly state that the cable should not be placed in water! To clean the probe, just wipe off the tip with a cloth or napkin. Don't let the cable get wet. I have owned one for years, and it has always worked fine until recently. I had to replace the cable.

The probe needs to be long enough otherwise you would melt the plastic. The probe length is several feet.

Yes. Not the best probes, but good Pomona probes cost as much as this meter.

If you are exceeding the temp limit of the probe, it will break inside and stop working. Just so that you know

Not worth it. Only used it around a dozen times and it stopped working. As soon as the probe connector is plugged in it reads about 239 degrees. Tried various things to no avail. It may be the probe has gone bad but at around $8 for a replacement with so little use and reasonable care, it's not even worth spending that amount of money to replace it.

Not sure, I have only used it once and left the probe in a pork shoulder for hours. It seemed to react quickly to the meat temperature though.

Warranty is pretty on spot. I used probe 2x & it worked like a charm. 3rd time when I was removing meat I heard a 'pop' & it went dead-I believe static was the culprit. I called KA cust. service & explained my situation & a replacement was sent (received within 2 days). I've been using it ever since!

Sadly, my probe is dying (the cord no longer works most of the time), and I haven't found replacement probes. My advice is - don't buy if you are going to leave the cord in the oven, or heavily use the cord.

I replace the tip as soon as it starts showing some wear, usually around 2 -3 weeks of daily use.

If it's the one I have, it comes with its own probe. I have never used the probe but everything else works as advertized. If this isn't the one with a probe you can find the one I have at Amazon. My has Stay or Go on face. Frank

Make sure you have tightened the probes tightly. I have used one for years and never had a problem.

I have not had occasion to need a probe, but you might try this link. http://www.maverickhousewares.com/parts_and_service.htm

I got 2 or 3 replacement probes before one worked. The last one is now only working some times. Bad batch? Dave Smelter.

They have a 1-yr warranty. They said they will replace a bad probe. As I put in my review, just go ahead and order a new probe. They're expendable and you don't want to be caught without one. You have to know the internal temp of your meat.

You can remove it , but don't think they make a longer one. I had lots of trouble with the probes.

I had a sensor problem with mine at 3 months. They sent me a replacement board and was easy to install. Board was warranty and if I remember correctly they paid shipping both ways for new board and return of defective board. I was mad at first but think they handled it pretty well. No problems since at 8 months.
