Customer Review: Not Recommended!
Summary: 1 Stars
This would be a good thermometer, if it weren't designed to be a DISPOSABLE PRODUCT.
My gripe isn't that my thermometer was defective (although it WAS defective) ... anyone can make a lemon on a bad day. The trouble is a basic design flaw that should result in an engineer's head getting mounted on a stake: It is virtually impossible to change the battery without destroying the unit.
Go back and read that again, and decide for yourself if this is a good value. Now, you're probably thinking, "oh, this is some old guy who can't thread a needle or find the glasses on top of his head." Well, I've soldered circuits more complex than this thermometer, and I've worked as a mechanic. And while I may not be MacGyver himself, replacing button batteries has never felt like defusing a bomb. Until now.
The battery door is designed with a silicone gasket, to keep the thing waterproof. The gasket will pop out when you open the battery compartment. I challenge you to get it back in. Go ahead. I'll close my eyes and take a nap. Shoot me an email when you're done! Seriously. See if you can get it in there without shredding the gasket, stripping the thin plastic bits that hold the compartment closed, or both. Personally, I'm completely exasperated.
Ok, there are some good things about this thermometer (aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the show?). It's quite fast for a cheap thermometer. It's not as fast as a thermocouple thermometer (which start at about 3X the price) and it's not even as fast as the company says it is. But it will give you a stable reading in under 10 seconds most of the time, which is pretty good. It's great that you can calibrate it. And the ergonomics of the buttons are good. And it's nice that it's waterproof, at least until you open the battery compartment, and ruin it for good.
I'm sending mine back. Not sure what will replace it. i hate to spend the money, but an $80 thermapen might be the only option at this point. I've had it with crap (don't even consider the Taylor digital thermometer ... 100% pre-landfill joke).
