1.0 out of 5 stars Not OXO's best product, May 1, 2009

I've purchased and enjoyed many OXO products in the past, and will purchase and enjoy OXO products in the future. This digital thermometer was definitely not one of their finer efforts.

I got to use the thermometer a grand total of 3 whole times before it quit working, and I absolutely could not turn it off. The little on/off button on the top had quit responding, as had the button that switched the display between F and C.

On top of that, I couldn't open the battery compartment to try to see if there was a reset switch. No amount of effort would turn the coin-sized slot enough to get the cover off. All that was accomplished was shredding the plastic.

There are other thermometers out there. Pick one of them.

1.0 out of 5 stars worthless!, January 16, 2010

This review is from: OXO Good Grips Digital Instant Read Thermometer (Kitchen)

We got the OXO Good Grips Digital Instant Read Thermometer for our wedding shower. The screen is too heavy for the thermometer, especially for a digital one. Instant read is a joke; it takes far too long to give you a reading. And then there is the issue of accuracy. Sometimes it gives us an accurate reading, sometimes it doesn't. We have to double check with another thermometer. Save your money, there are better products out there.

2.0 out of 5 stars Slow and flawed design, October 26, 2009

I tend to like most OXO stuff, but this thermometer is an exception. It takes a very long time to read temperatures, and maybe worse than that, the display is angled in such a way that makes it difficult to read.
