I had one for almost two years and it supposedly made out of steel or titanium. No visible rust. I purchased a second one but I didn’t see the one that was coated with plastic.

Great product. I have one to control my heater and chiller - they make a version specifically for chiller use to handle higher current draw.

I had one with a metal probe that eventually failed. Inkbird sent me a new plastic probe that I installed and it works again.

I had one failed on me too but the probe was not rusted. Was yours metal probe rusted?

It wasn't very visibly rusted but it was a little pitted and I could see where water probably infiltrated between the metal and plastic parts.

the metal probe are stainless. Stainless do rust depending on the grade of stainless used.
Inkbirds temp probe can be easily change out if you are handy. Just purchase the plastic coated probe from inkbird and swap it out.
Best way to do it is to purchase a female headphone jack from inkbird and a plastic probe.



take 10 min to do this mod. Open 4 screw on the back.

That's pretty much what they sent me for the warranty but without the jack. I just opened it and spliced the black and white wires together and the new probe seated in the case just like the old one.
