Ratings and reviews

Same as others, can't connect to internet even with my wireless router 4ft away. Also having trouble just getting the DADO Wi-Fi connection to even show up on my phone as an available connection. But even when it does I still get the "Oops" message when trying to connect thru the app. I've had this unit for 6 months. Don't buy Char-Broil for Smartchef feature. It does not work at all and will annoy the hell out of you trying to get to go online.

I didn't have the connection problem that others have. Being able to set the grill temperature and monitor the meat thermometer is super convenient. The flip notifications don't always work, but my food is still coming out better due to the controlled temperature and notifications that meat has reached target temperature. I just don't understand why there are so few options in the "step-by'step" selection. The Char-broil website has many instructions for a wide variety of meats and cuts, but there are only a couple of cuts included in the app for the four meat types. I would undersand if the app was new, but I've been using it for two years now and it the same as it has always been. Couldn't someone at Char-broil take a day to enter the numbers from their website into the app database? What gives?

Upon assembling the grill the app wouldn't connect at all. Made a call to Char Broil and they ran through troubleshooting which didn't work. They offered to replace and remotely connect a new WiFi unit and sent it to us. My husband instslled it today and I used the grill tonight and LOVE it! The app notifies you when its reached temp, when its cooling off and cool enough to cover. So glad we stuck it out for the new panel and didnt return the grill.
