I used to work in the food service industry and That's all we used. It gives you the accurate measurements, and one cannot do without it at home. It is very important to know the temperature in your freezer or fridge, unless you want to have stomach problems.

For what it does, this product is almost perfect. As the product description and other reviews have noted, it is an easy-to-read, oil-(not mercury)filled refrigerator/freezer thermometer. In addition to having large numbers, the refrigerator and freezer "zones" are clearly identified, and the temperature scales are provided in Fahrenheit and Celsius. It would be perfect if it had a better method of attachment. However, while the metal "clips" are not ideal for my refrigerator/freezer, I can't really suggest a "universal" improvement that would work for everybody. So I'll just give it 5 stars for functionality, quality of construction, and value - and leave it at that. BUY IT. From my research, it appears to be the best product of its kind on the market.

This unit is far more accurate than the ones that rely on the metal coil in the back of the unit. I have tried both and have gone back to nothing but the glass tube kind like this.

Easy to read face with prominent lines and numbers. The metal feet on the back allow you to hang it from the rack or tray, but when hanging from the metal wire the face points downward (due to gravity) and makes it hard to read. So we just set it on the shelf and works just fine.

I recommend keeping this away from the door seals, for that area is not the temp of the fridge. Place it dead center in the fridge or in the place of the fridge where there are items you really care about.

I bought these for myself and after using them bought two more for a relative. They are a nice size and have large easy to see numbers.

We bought this thermometer as our refrigerator had a problem with keeping cold and we had multiple repairs over several months. We wanted to be able to tell if the interior of the refrigerator was getting warmer or maintaining temperature. The thermometer can be mounted in several ways inside the refrigerator and gives the actual temperature inside. It is easy to read. We are now able to tell not only if the refrigerator is slowly warming up - we can see the exact temperature. We are very happy with the thermometer.

This is the food industry's standard refrigerator and freezer thermometer. It's a good piece of equipment for not very much money. Keep track of your fridge and freezer temperatures during the course of the year. Many freezers are set a bit too warm.

My S/S refrigerator has a door control/display panel, which I find completely useless as far as temperature accuracy is concerned. I wanted to be able to set precise temperature levels for freezer and refrigerator, however these controls did not allow that. My freezer was definitely not reaching the desired temperature. The CDN FG80 Thermometer allowed me to adjust the levels accurately and showed that the control panel readings were wrong. They're pretty, but not very accurate; my freezer has to be set at -14 to reach zero degrees F; the refrigerator is closer, 34 degrees to reach 36 degrees F.
The CDN FG80 Thermometer is a bulb type thermometer with a hard plastic housing about 4.75 inches in length. It provides both F and C scales and has a prism formed in the center to allow for easier reading. Clips are provided to hang on wire shelves and/or also act as a stand for glass shelves. A very worthwhile tool.

Works well to monitor the temperature in my fridge and freezer. We aren't obsessive about it but we make sure we keep them at the right temperature in the summer and winter. No sense in over cooling either area and under cooling wouldn't be smart either.

I bought the thermometer to make sure that my new side by side fridge showed the correct temperature on the readout on the outside of the freezer door. The new appliances don't have wire shelves so this item can sit on the shatterproof glass shelves. I found it to be very accurate and move it from the freezer to the fresh food area to check on the temps when I add items to either side. I would rate is 5 stars if it was larger and could read it without removing it from the appliance.

I like the display and layout of this thermometer. I have one in the house, and I move it around at the top of each month to make sure that all is well in both of my refrigerator/freezers. Good piece of mind, and a great way to make sure that "setting #7" is actually what you want your refrigerator thermometer set.
