The deciding specification is probe count and published sensor accuracy, which separate these five models.

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.
The five models on this sheet differ most clearly in probe count, published accuracy, and heat resistance. The ThermoMaven P2 and CHEF iQ Sense each publish two probes, the TASTYTI model publishes four, and the JoyBear publishes two with six sensors. The TempPro TempTrack is the only wired design, publishing a 40 inch cable and a 716°F probe rating. Published accuracy ranges from ±0.5°F on the ThermoMaven P2, TASTYTI, and JoyBear to ±1.8°F on the Govee model.
Battery life and wireless range are published for only some models. The CHEF iQ Sense states up to 50 hours, the TASTYTI states 48 hours of probe use and over 100 hours for the base. The ThermoMaven P2, Govee, TempPro, and JoyBear do not publish a battery life figure. For range, the TASTYTI states 800 feet, the ThermoMaven P2 and CHEF iQ Sense state unlimited range via Wi-Fi, and the Govee states Bluetooth without a distance.
| Specification | ThermoMaven P2 | CHEF iQ Sense | TASTYTI | TempPro TempTrack | JoyBear |

The table does not tell you how quickly each probe reaches a stable reading, how the apps perform, or how the bases hold up over time. Those are performance questions, and nobody at Lush has used these machines. The table also cannot show whether a published accuracy figure applies across the full temperature range or only at specific points, because the manufacturers do not state that.
The ThermoMaven P2, CHEF iQ Sense, and JoyBear each publish two probes. The ThermoMaven P2 states that its two ultra-thin probes allow monitoring of two different dishes at once. The CHEF iQ Sense states that its two probes can cook two proteins or two steaks to different donenesses. The JoyBear states that its two probes track two meats or temperatures at once. Two probes are the common configuration among the wireless models on this sheet.
The TempPro TempTrack publishes a single wired probe with a 6.5 inch food grade stepdown tip and a 40 inch stainless steel mesh cable. That design keeps the probe connected to the base, so it is not a wireless probe system. The manufacturer does not publish a probe count beyond the single included probe. For cooks who want two independent wireless probes, the TempPro is not the match.
The TASTYTI model publishes four ultra-thin probes, the highest count on the fact sheet. The manufacturer states that the system includes dual 0.9 inch ultra-thin probes to track four dishes simultaneously. That is double the probe count of the ThermoMaven P2, CHEF iQ Sense, and JoyBear. The manufacturer does not publish the length of the probes or whether all four can be used at the same time at maximum range.
A higher probe count suits cooks who want to monitor several items at once, such as a brisket, a pork shoulder, and two chickens. The TASTYTI model also publishes an 800 foot Bluetooth 5.2 range and a 10 minute flash charge for 48 hours of probe use. The manufacturer does not publish a sensor count for this model, so the number of internal sensors per probe is not stated.
The CHEF iQ Sense publishes a 1000°F heat tolerance, the highest figure on the sheet. The TempPro TempTrack publishes 716°F for its probe and wire. The TASTYTI and JoyBear models publish 572°F. The ThermoMaven P2 does not publish a maximum heat resistance temperature. A higher published rating indicates a probe the maker states is built to endure hotter conditions, such as a searing grill or a hot oven.
The CHEF iQ Sense also states that its probe is built to endure 1000°F heat with an ultra-thin design. The manufacturer does not publish the probe diameter. The TASTYTI model states heat resistance up to 572°F and describes itself as suitable for kamado grills, air fryers, smokers, and pans. The JoyBear model states high-temperature resistance without a specific maximum beyond 572°F.
The ThermoMaven P2 publishes an IPX8 waterproof rating for its probes and states they can be placed in a dishwasher. The TASTYTI and JoyBear models publish IP67 waterproof ratings and state the probes support rinsing or dishwasher cleaning. The CHEF iQ Sense, Govee, and TempPro models do not publish an IP rating. A published IP rating indicates the probe is rated for washing, but the manufacturers do not state whether the base shares that rating.
Battery life is published for two models. The CHEF iQ Sense states up to 50 hours on a full charge. The TASTYTI model states a 10 minute flash charge provides 48 hours of continuous probe use, while the host base lasts over 100 hours on a full charge. The ThermoMaven P2, Govee, TempPro, and JoyBear do not publish a battery life figure. The Govee model states a backlit LCD screen but no run time.
Two-protein cooks who want a smart base. The ThermoMaven P2 publishes a smart display base for direct target setting, six sensors, ±0.5°F accuracy, and an IPX8 rating. It is the most completely documented model on the sheet.
High-heat searing and long cooks. The CHEF iQ Sense publishes a 1000°F heat tolerance and up to 50 hours of run time. It suits grills and smokers where a high published heat rating matters more than a stated accuracy figure.
Multi-dish cooking at long range. The TASTYTI model publishes four probes, an 800 foot Bluetooth range, and a 10 minute flash charge for 48 hours of probe use. It suits cooks monitoring several items at once.
Wired reliability with a high probe rating. The TempPro TempTrack publishes a 716°F probe and wire rating, a 40 inch cable, and a 99 hour 59 minute timer. It is the wired option for cooks who do not need wireless probes.
Six-sensor monitoring with a display base. The JoyBear publishes six NIST-certified sensors, ±0.5°F accuracy, a 0.5 second read time, and an IP67 rating. It suits cooks who want a large screen base and app control.
The fact sheet leaves several figures unpublished. These are the gaps we could not fill from the manufacturer information.
The TASTYTI model publishes four ultra-thin probes, the highest count on the fact sheet. The ThermoMaven P2, CHEF iQ Sense, and JoyBear each publish two probes. The TempPro TempTrack uses a single wired probe with a 40 inch cable. More probes allow more dishes to be monitored at once, but the manufacturer does not publish whether all probes can be used simultaneously at maximum range.
The CHEF iQ Sense publishes a 1000°F heat tolerance, the highest figure on the fact sheet. The TempPro TempTrack publishes 716°F for its probe and wire. The TASTYTI and JoyBear models publish 572°F. The ThermoMaven P2 does not publish a maximum heat resistance temperature. Higher published heat resistance indicates a probe rated for hotter cooking environments such as a searing grill.
The ThermoMaven P2 publishes an IPX8 waterproof rating for its probes. The TASTYTI and JoyBear models publish IP67 waterproof ratings. The CHEF iQ Sense, Govee, and TempPro models do not publish an IP rating on the fact sheet. A published IP rating indicates the probe is rated for washing, but the manufacturer does not state whether the base or hub shares that rating.
The TASTYTI model publishes an 800 foot Bluetooth 5.2 range, the longest stated distance on the fact sheet. The ThermoMaven P2 publishes unlimited range via a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection between the base and a phone. The CHEF iQ Sense publishes unlimited wireless range via Wi-Fi. The Govee model publishes Bluetooth connectivity without a stated distance. The JoyBear model does not publish a range figure.
The CHEF iQ Sense publishes up to 50 hours on a full charge. The TASTYTI model publishes 48 hours of continuous probe use from a 10 minute flash charge and over 100 hours for the host base. The ThermoMaven P2, Govee, TempPro, and JoyBear models do not publish a battery life figure on the fact sheet. Longer published run time suits all-day cooks such as brisket or pulled pork.
The ThermoMaven P2 and JoyBear each publish six sensors. The CHEF iQ Sense publishes five sensors, including four internal and one ambient. The TASTYTI, Govee, and TempPro models do not publish a sensor count. A higher sensor count may provide more temperature readings within the food, but the manufacturer does not publish how the sensors are positioned or how readings are combined.
