Pro 575

Purchased as a gift for my husband. Solid and well made grill, that’s easy to assemble. Took us about an hour. It’s a good size for a family. We actually like the wifi/app option. Especially if you’re prepping in the kitchen and need to check on temperature. The company is very tongue and cheek with their thorough manual/instructions. The box came with full on decorated art, on the inside, that you’re instructed to turn inside out. As well as, built in tray table for the beer. It also gives you a choice of “names” to properly name your grill. I expect this grill will bring years of great outdoor cooking.

Worth every penny. If I could I’d would have gotten the larger one with super smoke. Works perfectly it’s built very good. Heavy.

I live in a condo on the 8th floor in a building in Edgewater, NJ. I cannot use any gas or charcoal style grills. So I immediately said - Taeger! I have friends that have them and everyone loves it. I got the 575 with WiFire so I can monitor remotely. The delivery was great! They brought it up to my apartment. I was prepared to lug it up myself, but they insisted on bringing it up, so that was great. Installation was easy, and you really only need two people to drop it and lift it. But it was real easy to assemble. Setting up the WiFi, and the app was also very easy. I am going through the seasoning process now, and there were no issues with getting it to work first time. The auger is very quiet, and at first I thought it wasn't working, but the pellets started shifting and I could hear the drop. The fan kicked in and it ignited! So far great experience.

This is my 3rd smoker. Been trying to find a good perfect size one without breaking the bank. I mean this is still expensive but definitely the quality and service is excellent. I received mine with the controller board area slightly cracked. And traegar replaced it quickly. They packaged this really well. If you have dents its definitely from the shipping company. Its heavy and requires two people. I been using this as a oven and smoker. The temps vary around 10 degrees. So its excellent. Smoked salmon, ribs and tri tips so far and no issues. Perfect taste. Pellets does get expensive. I was able to get costco traegar pellets and this should save some cost on pellets. Only concern is time. Always allocate time to prep and clean lol.

Love the ease of use. Holds up to the Traeger name

Overall I'm loving this new smoker after two cooks. The app is great, and the product build quality and ease of use are fantastic. On my second cook however I've seen that this thing can REALLY overheat. I'm using a Traeger recipe so I know I'm not opening the door too much (it has you wrap the brisket in foil at 160° internal). I downloaded the latest firmware when it was initially assembled. But I'm getting temps into 460° when the thermostat is set to 225°. The Traeger held temperature well for the first several hours of the cook but now I'm worried about an expensive hunk of meat not cooking correctly. The support section of the app doesn't offer any clues other than keeping the door closed.

What can I say except Traeger is absolutely the bomb! I love love love it 🙂 The Wi-fi thermostat does the cooking for you then tells you when it’s done! My guests are so impressed that I can use a smoker, I guess cause I’m a girl lol. Oh and the food comes out delicious which is a bonus! I strongly suggest using the traeger pellets they do make a difference. I also want to mention that set up is a breeze and they have great customer support! Bon Appetit!

From day 1 this Traeger didn't work. Day 1. The main reason I purchased this specific smoker is because of the ability to control it remotely via an app on my smartphone. From DAY ONE the feature didn't work. Called Traeger. Spent all afternoon on hold and talking with a rep. The rep took me through all the diagnostics. The rep was polite and helpful. No problem with that. Then, the decision was made by the rep that the Traeger'S motherboard of its computer system isnt working. The rep needed three days to get an approval to send me either a new motherboard or maybe a whole new Traeger. Days passed. No call or email. I called back. Another rep talked me through things, again. This rep said three more days are needed and I'd probably be sent a new motherboard. To be specific there is nothing wrong with anything on my end. My router is great. My signal is great. The app works great on my phone. The problem they've diagnosed is that the Traeger has a bad computer system motherboard. How that's even possible on a machine that's brand new I've got no idea. Traeger.. I'm disappointed. This smoker is expensive. I saved and saved and finally bought one. Yes, Amazon was amazing. Yes, Traeger was quick shipping. Yes, the Traeger reps were both well trained, kind, helpful. But, the brand new machine isn't working. And, if it's a motherboard issue and they send me a new motherboard.. I hope it's a simple process for me to take out the broken one and install the new one. Will update this review as improvements/repairs happen. Update July 8, 2021 : Traeger sent us a new motherboard. Watched an install video. Installed the motherboard. The app on my phone then began working with the Traeger. Will update again when I attempt to use the app for cooking. Update August 2, 2021: I've cooked 6-7 times with this Traeger. The motherboard works. It was very simple to take out the broken motherboard and install the new one. Simple, as in anyone can do it. I'm not a computer guy at all and it was simple. I'd say most any ten year old kid could do it without any issues. About the app... Isn't impressive at all. Doesn't hardly do anything. Mainly just offers a lot of videos to watch. Basically, we spend $100s for this feature and it's pretty much just a Traeger video store. I can't even use the app to change the cooking temp. Kinda dumb, Traeger, that you made this app and I can't even change the cooking temp with it. It does tell me the meat temp via the meat thermometer and the overall temp inside the smoker. But, that's it. About cleaning... Seems like nobody anywhere talked about how freaking hard it is to clean this machine and how long it takes. Because there is no charcoal or fire.. the oils get everywhere and don't burn off. Flies and ants have easy access of its not cleaned immediately, as we've learned the hard way. I'm glad my wife is willing to clean it because there's a lot to clean. More than I've ever had before in any grill. Cooking & Flavor... the meats are great. No problems with that. The machine works well.
