I never write reviews for Amazon but I felt that I should for this terrible product. I can't believe how someone in this day and age can manufacture an inaccurate thermometer! This thing has been off since day 1. It's about 5-7 degrees less than the actual temperature. Save your money and buy a regular thermometer instead. This is a waste of $$ and I finally just threw it out.

Cute little addition to the pool! Thermometer works great and really looks great in the swimming pool! Would recommend! Would order it again!

I can't comment on the accuracy of this item. I know the temperature that feels comfortable in the whirlpool, which, for me, is about 103-104 degrees F. The thermometer helps me add the correct amount of hot water to maintain this temperature so that absolute accuracy is not a big issue for me.

After 400 years of thermometer technology, you wouldn't think accuracy would be an issue, but apparently it is. I've caught this thing being more than 6 degrees off, compared to known accurate thermometers. Recommendation: Buy three. If two agree, use that value, if not average the three. Or, buy a better (working) unit.

The only problem I have with it is my labrador grabbing it out of the pool. That's what happened to the yellow ducky.
