New Stuff on APO. (Which probe is better? Why the change? -money saving or performance/issues?)

 

Is anyone aware of issues with the probe breaking? I’m on my second APO. My initial oven was unable to be connected to Wifi after many hours and variations. So the second one has come in and as I’m setting it up, I notice three things are different between them.

 

1. The tank has a black protective “sleeve” face. It can move (has some play), I believe this is to act as a buffer for heat, although it could also be a cheap and easy way to hide cracks that will appear.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

2. There is a silicone piece (about 2 pencils thick, and about a that long too *#2 pencils*) that fits into the groove between the base of the water tank holder and the side of the oven. (To redirect steam/heat?)

 

3. The probe is shorter by a few cm and has changed jackets (No idea what the new material is, I assume the old material was a fiberglass cable jacket (woven/braided). This new one like a thermoplastic or silicone. Don’t know what the change was for and doubt I’d get a real answer if I asked customer support.
