The issues in some older reviews (on other sites) have been corrected in the newer models of the sensor, e.g, the feet to hold the tank a bit off the ground are now metal not rubber so they won't break. Also re other reviews: a) if you don't want to see repeated low tank warnings, just turn off the alarms after the first warning (just one touch to do this in the main menu) and turn it back on after you refill the tank, b) if you think you'll increase battery life by having the app check your tank's level less frequently, just turn off "background app refresh" in your phone's or tablet's settings...doing so will cause a little delay to get a new reading once you open the app, but that's no big deal as you don't need to check very often. Now my review: Although my Weber grill has crude weight scale to let you know when the tank is low, it is very imprecise to the point of being worthless. I have occasionally run out of gas in the midst of cooking (not fun). To prevent that, I would buy gas when I perceived the tank was low...but it may have been 25% full for all I knew. Sometimes I weighed the tank on my bathroom scale, but that was inconvenient as I had to disconnect the tank from the grill to do so. Another solution would be to have a spare full tank always on hand, but I don't have a convenient place to store it, and placing it in my garage is unsafe. The Mopeka tank check sensor solved all these problems. And the app is well designed and works perfectly. Super product!
