I purchased two of these units and noticed they were reading different temps right out of the box. I placed both in my freezer for 4 hours and after that time they had diverged by 8 full degrees F. Is one wrong? Are both wrong? I really have no way of knowing.


See the customer photo I uploaded for this product for visual proof.

This is a very handy gadget for me because I can monitor the temps in my fridge in different places to see where the colder and hotter spots are. It is just the right size so as not to take up too much space, and the dial is easily readable. Build quality is good, no complaints. As for accuracy, I compared it against a different brand right next to each other and the readings are similar so I will have to assume it is accurate. I'm not using it for critical applications anyway, just making sure the fridge is cold enough for safe food storage. I would buy this again.

I just received this thermometer from Amazon. My wife and I were impressed with the NSF certification and the HACCP guidelines the thermometer was to follow. However, I have no idea how it can pass such guidelines with any confidence, as the unit we received has the label cocked just shy of 10 degrees counter-clockwise, making the degree reading off by about 3-4 degrees of temperature.

The unit is a solid steel unit with no ability to adjust anything. However, if you thought this was to be one of the more precise units, you will be sorely mistaken. Even if I put up with the wildly crooked label, I can't calibrate it for the actual temperature, so I'm left not knowing if the unit came calibrated and the factory had to twist the label, or if the unit would be calibrated if only the label was straightened.

It's made in China by a French company. Maybe that says it all.

This thermometer is simple and works well. No problems with it at all, even after dropping it a few times. I would recommend it if you just need a simple thermometer without all the bells and whistles of the digital models. Somehow, this basic model seems more trustworthy.

After wondering why it showed a few degrees under 32F in our fridge but nothing froze, I put a second digital thermometer in there and discovered it was reading about 8F too low. Now I can see that the background of the dial showing the readings is loose and rotates freely.

The company has no phone number and didn't respond to my email. It says Miu France but appears to be made by a Chinese company, Xinhua Corporation.

Fortunately amazon customer service is great and issued a prompt refund.

I bought two of these. There is an 8 degree difference from each other when side by side, on the counter, in the refrigerator, etc. Do not buy this brand! They are far from accurate. I am packing them up and returning them.

This is one of those rare products that works well and is inexpensive. After looking at fancier digital versions I opted for the old fashioned analog thermometer since none of the digital versions were without some type of problem.

This has a very clear, easy to read display, a wide base that is stable when you set it on a refrigerator or freezer shelf (also has a hook if you want to dangle it from a wire shelf) and is accurate (tested it against two other thermometers). Plus, no batteries needed!

It's very helpful to have a thermometer in both your refrigerator and freezer since many refrigerators are not all that accurate in telling you what the temperature is throughout the `fridge. This type of thermometer can be moved about to determine where the inevitable cold and hot spots are so you can adjust the refrigerator settings (or move items) as appropriate.

I bought this thermometer because I take insulin and it has to be stored cold. This thermometer works great,has a large face and is easy to read,it is rugged and Amazon has the best price of all the places I looked.I think you could not find any better for your money.

It's nice to know the real temperature in the freezer or refrigerator; to insure that your produce and meats are at the proper temperature for storage. This thermometer is very easy to read and accurate. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Since this was being offered by Amazon, I had no qualms whatsoever.
I have an 8 year old large freezer in my garage a bad situation and even
though I have a basement I am unable to run up and down stairs.
As it has aged, the temperature varies greatly and I have either
kept it too cold in the winter or too warm in the summer so
I found with this because it was at the summer setting it was
maintaining well below zero. I was able to readjust it so that
it is keeping it is at 0 as I look at this freezer thermoneter.
I keep much meat and cook in large batches so that I need to
maintain the proper temperature.
I can highly recommend this thermometer.
I ordered another temperature for my 'fridge in the house
having free shipping means a great deal for me.
