My oven has always been much hotter than the number on the dial. So, a while back, I bought this oven thermometer (Taylor 503 Connoissuer Line Oven Thermometer) which I hated because it was hard to read. So recently I bought this Sunbeam one and an MIU one (MIU #90069 Commercial Oven Thermometer) because it was 4 for 3 and I was tired of not knowing the oven temperature.
Then I turned my oven on to somewhere between 325 and 350F, put all three thermometers in the same part of the oven, and let it heat for a while. After 10 or 15 minutes, I opened the door and took a picture of the thermometers so I could get their readings at the same time.
The results were:
Sunbeam: approx 380F
MIU: approx 360F
Taylor: approx 380F
So, the 380-degrees have it. Anyway, my cooking experiences have led me to believe that my oven is more likely to be off by about that much.
The Sunbeam and the Taylor had the same temperatures, so the only difference between them is that the numbers on the Sunbeam are legible, and the Taylor costs three times as much.
Hooray Sunbeam!

I've never needed an oven thermometer before. That is until I moved to California and my apartment had an electric stove.
Me,only ever having used gas stoves, made the mistake of thinking that they were all the same. Well, my first meal in this oven was supposed to be meatloaf. I put the oven at 350, put the loaf in the oven and figured I'd have ample time to take a shower.
Well 10 minutes later, my house was full of smoke and there was a lovely black brick of what used to be meat in my oven.
After this little escapade, I was so paranoid about cooking anything in this oven, I would only set the thermostat to 150 and watch everything like a hawk.
Then one day, I'm surfing on Amazon and see this little beauty. I ordered it immediately. I now know that my oven was cooking at at temperature above 500 degrees (the thermometer only reads up to 500) when I so innocently put it on to 350 so I could cook my meatloaf.
The thermometer itself is very easy to read and can be put into the oven any number of ways, from sitting on a shelf to hanging from one. I am no longer afraid to use this oven and have made pies, cookies, cakes, pork chops, chicken and especially meatloaf several times now.
No more burnt food, no more smoke filled house and I'm getting ready to re label my oven thermometer dial to what the temperatures really are now (200 will get me 375) so the next person that lives here won't have the same problem.
Even if your oven thermostat is spot on, I would still get one of these, since you never know when it's going to decide to lose calibration and begin cooking at different temperatures.
Happy Cooking!

After I realized that my Sunbeam thermometer was off 10 degrees by testing it against other more accurate thermometers, I was told by Sunbeam that this thermometer is rated to be plus or minus 15 degrees of the actual temperature. Which makes this thermometer not accurate enough for my oven.

easy to read.
large numbers.... and easy to read. I use it to often to check the accuracy of actual temperature in the oven. Either hangs or can stand. I usually hang it on the top rack.

Turned Black and is Unreadable
After a bit the face of the thermometer turned black and could not be cleaned. It's unreadable and therefore unusable. Would not purchase again.

Thermometer worked functional well but when I moved the unit in the oven from the rack. BTW - it was hanging. The top hanger broke off at the spot welds that attach the hook. Read more

Inaccurate to the Point of Uselessness
Perhaps I just got a bad one, but it always read significantly (50 to 75 degrees) lower than my oven indicated. Over time it's gotten even worse and is now useless. Read more

If I could give this 0 stars, I would.
I put it in the oven, set at 350 degrees, for a long time (about an hour). During that time, the indicator never wavered -- it stayed at the same 500 degrees it was at when I took... Read more

Not recommended
I had to reorder because the first one came with the indcator needle not attached.
The replacement stopped working within 4-5 weeks, which is too late to return it to Amazon
