Traeger Pro 575

Based on 97 comments across 3 communities
TL;DR
A beginner-friendly pellet grill widely praised for easy use, fast heat-up, steady temps, and a genuinely helpful WiFi app. Quality is divisive; some hit screen, software, or pellet issues, and it tops out near 500F so it won't sear well.

56% of 97 verified owners recommend the Traeger Pro 575.

Traeger Pro 575. Splurge on the cover. I’ve had it 2+ years and have used it a lot, including in near 0° temp, with zero problems. Best burgers and filet I’ve ever had. Constant compliments from guests, too.

I traded in my Traeger Pro 575 for a Jim non wifi. Much much happier and works like it should ( surprising, right).

Liked it so much ordered one for our Pro575 before it was even picked up from the store.

Used the built in probe on my Traeger Pro 575 and they were with in a degree or two of each other.

I did this all on a Traeger Pro 575 wrapped in an insulator jacket (4-10 degrees outside), thing worked like a charm holding temps the whole time.

I had a Traeger Pro575 and despite using TWO smoke tubes at once on multiple occasions, the smoke flavor was severely underwhelming no matter what pellets I used.

I completed the update on a Pro575 and have had no issues with the App or Wifire. Grill was purchased mid-December 2019 and has been connected to WiFi since set up.

I’d absolutely suggest a model with the WiFire technology, as they call it. I thought it may be gimmicky or whatever, but it turned out to be super helpful. For 2 people and wifire, I’d suggest the Traeger Pro 575.

The one that came with pro575 was off by about 10 degrees. Messed up a pork shoulder because of it. I use an instant read from now on.

I own a Traeger Pro 575. Its been a great “first smoker”. Now I want something much bigger, with better build quality, and more precise temperature control.

My wife actually got me a Traeger 4 years ago for Father's Day, still brings me and the family tons of joy

Traeger Pro 575: don’t buy one. Probably don’t buy a Traeger

added a Traeger pro 575 in December. It works like a charm. With that said, i’d probably buy a Rectec instead, they seem to be more durable.

I have no comparison but am very happy with my Traeger Pro 575 after five months.

I’m a Traeger Pro 575 convert. Had a lot of issues with it to the point it had to be picked up by Ace Hardware and warranty work done.

I bought got the Pro575 right after they were released. It initially had some temperature fluctuation issues that were frustrating. However, since the firmware updates early this year, it has been great. Still struggles to hit 500 degrees though.

Head and shoulders better than the Traeger as far as flavor (and the traeger cant sear, unless you modify it)

For what it’s worth I have a Traeger pro 575 and I fucking love it.

It's charcoal so smoke flavor way better. Wifi. Can easily add wood chunks. And can go up to 700 deg for searing. I returned my Traeger Pro 575 and Grilla Chimp for it. Love it.

I've been smoking on a Traeger Pro 575 for 6 months and I love it. The app is well designed and responsive. I had tried a couple other smokers and was happy with the Traeger brand.

I've owned a traeger pro 575 and 2 timberline 1300's. The pro wasn't bad not the best value but rock solid.

Ending getting a pro575. Store sold me there demo at a great deal. Right size for me.

Picked up the traeger pro 575, sort of a jack of all trades master of none scenario but in a positive way. Pretty happy with it so far, just wish I could get a hard charcoal sear

I’m having the same issue on my Traeger Pro 575. The probe reads about twenty degrees higher than all of my other thermometers. I noticed this is consistent after the most recent software update.
