Highlights
Quality
Works very well and packed with potential.
Packaging/appearance
The software support is lacking, but there is software around to use the ssd1306 i2c-based oled in esp-idf if you look around.
I originally tried to use the esp8266 with arduino.
Competitiveness
Just learning how to use the esp32 modules, this one is great with its built in pled display.
Esp32 boards are now cheaper so i've taken the plunge.
I tried various esp8266 incarnations but they were all basically useless.

I had it up and running quite quickly with open source libraries assuming you are familiar with arduino development and i had it connecting to a mobile phone hotspot posting http requests to a cloud service in no time at all

In the end i had to fork out over £40 for a uno rev 3 wifi and that still didnt work as intended i needed this unit to act as an access point

The only problem i did find was that the board would not flash while it had the thermocouple breakout powered up so i will have to put a jumper on the final circuit to enable updates to the software
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Once the flash is done its fine so there must be a conflict related to the serial bus in the programming state
