UPDATE: Since posting review below, I was contacted by the company/seller and sent a replacement free of charge. The replacement works fine. Top marks for customer service!Got this based on the good reviews, but my unit does not work at all. Regardless of where it is placed (boiling water, iced water, cooked meat) it reads between 21-34C.Bought it a while back and hadn't used it and Amazon automatically close the return window 1 month after purchase. A hassle now to try and get a refund :(

I really like this. I like it turns on just by opening it. It reads very quickly. It seems accurate. The price is reasonable.

Works very quick. Love the product. Turns on when you open and turns off when you close it. Has magnets and stores perfectly in the side of the fridge.

Had to buy another Instant Read Therm after my 'backup' one totally flaked out for some reason. Always like to have 2 just in case.. This one has quickly gone from my backup to my primary after a few weeks. Started with a quick calibration even tho it was perfectly in range when I got it. I like to be a little more than 'in range'. It's super easy to calibrate, use, and the large numbers/contrast make it easy for my old eyes to see...VERY accurate. Tested against my other Instant Read and different cooking probes, and it's always DEAD on.It's a little bigger than my other one, but I actually kind of liked that. Can get further into thick cuts of meat without getting hands too close to the heat, so that was enough to move it from backup to starter!Can't go wrong with this one, and the price point is perfect.

This thermometer is super easy to use. All you have to do is open up the probe, and it instantly comes on. My tests for accuracy weren't entirely scientific, but the readouts I was getting seemed to be on point. I find the responsiveness of the temperature gauge to be really fast! Moving it from different parts of the kitchen and taking sample readings, I noticed how quickly the display adjusts.I am taking off one star because after 5 minutes of use, the error message "Lo" started to flash, letting me know the batteries already needed to be changed. Luckily I happened to have some new AAA ones lying around. I used the screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit to open the battery port, and it was the perfect size.I haven't had a chance to use it a lot, but so far it seems to be a good deal for the price. Just make sure you have some fresh AAA batteries and a tiny screwdriver just in case!

There are lots of digital thermometers out there at lots of price ranges. I took a chance on this one and it worked great, and beat my expectations with a few surprises.With a thermometer, you want something that's quick and accurate. To use it, you simply pull the probe out from the side and it turns on automatically. Stick the probe in whatever you are measuring and you get a very quick reading. There were a few nice surprises though.The display lights up automatically. Though the numbers are nice and big, the backlighting makes them even more legible. Not only that, there is a sensor that can detect the orientation of the thermometer and the display will flip when it detects it's somewhat upside-down.I like to rinse the probe before I put the thermometer away and once I was too busy to do so until much later and was surprised to see that it had turned off by itself. It's nice that it will do this to conserve battery power as it's not always convenient while cooking to clean and put away the thermometer right away.This thermometer is a well made product and I can easily recommend it to others who are looking for a good quality thermometer for their kitchen.
