I love this thermometer. It measures both freezer and refrigerator temperatures and gives you current readings plus weekly averages for each. The sticky stuff on the back of the main unit actually works, even with refrigerator moisture, so the unit stays out of the way and you don't have to worry about it getting knocked over or shoved to the back or sideways where you can't see it. It takes AAA batteries, so no special batteries required. It also matches my favorite non-digital refrigerator thermometer in terms of accuracy and has helped me to discover that there is a 10 degree difference in temperature between my refrigerator's top and bottom shelves, so now I store things more appropriately and can be assured of food safety. This is a great product.

Bought two of these units for main kitchen and 2nd Fridge/freezer in basement. We were having some strange food issues and then our old Freezer died. With a house full of kids the fridge gets lots of action. When I bought the new freezers and refridgerator I bought the thermometers to keep up with the temperatures inside them.
Installation wasn't too bad if you're handy. The freezer extension probe is on a long wire that has to snake from the main unit to the freezer. I attached little adhesive backed mountings and wire tied the excess wire of the freezer probe so that I got a clean look. I found a seam between the fridge and freezer and ran the wire across the seam so that the door seals would seal properly. The main unit mounts using an adhesive backing that mounts it at an angle. I mounted it high up so that kids don't break it.
Once mounted I found online what the proper temps for a fridge and freezer should be and set the alarms. I let it sit for a few hours and then came back to check. Boy was I surprised. Those little "knobs" on the fridges and freezers are basically useless for temperature selection. It was too warm in both compartments! No wonder our food didn't last long! I adjusted the temperature knobs over the course of the week until the alarms were mostly green. It will turn red with repeated openings but you want to see what your "average" temp is.
Now I have everything dialed in and we have been using it for about a month. I can taste the difference already in the food. This was a great purchase and should have done it years ago.

I bought a new refridgerator and the temperature seemed off to me. I ordered this gauge to test it and it proved to be very accurate. I confirmed this with my old film developing thermometer that I know is right on. The refridgerator was wrong and needed to be adjusted by the service dept.

not worth the money
Did not like the product. It is listed as a refrig. freezer therm. but it only does one or the other and it does not have an audible alarm. Could not get it to work properly. Read more

NOT a thermometer for your kegerator!
This thing is great for monitoring if a certain temp is exceeded in your fridge or freezer, but it's not a digital real-time thermometer for a kegerator like I thought it was. Read more

seems to work okay
Very cheap but seems to work. My apartment refrigerator is super old and this thermometer is good for a cheap appliance.
