Overall score is based on:
Accuracy (60%) We assess accuracy using a calibrated thermal bath. When the thermal bath reaches 70℃ a reading on each thermometer is taken. A reading of -/+ 1℃ gets an accuracy score of 8.0, a reading of -/+ 2℃ scores 5.0.
For thermometers that claim to be oven-proof, we check how accurate the reading is at 70℃ while cooking scotch fillet. All were within 2℃ of the calibrated reading. This didn’t contribute to the overall score.
Ease of use (40%) We check how easy it is to use and read the thermometer, insert the probe, and clean the thermometer.
Price is from an October 2018 survey.

I haven’t used this product but found these recent reviews
https://www.productreview.com.au/p/matador-smart-meat-thermometer.html
They are based on Bluetooth connectivity and range which isn’t included here but would affect the recommendation I would think.
I’m keen to purchase but am a little dubious now.
Recommend it?
Maybe, it depends on what you're after.
