I've had this thermometer for a couple of years and I love it. It works great and I haven't had any problems with it. Easy-to-read display and quickly switches from F to C. On/off switch saves battery life. I highly recommend this product.

I feel this is much easier to read and more accurate than the dial type thermometer. The temperature can be read quickly to allow smooth flow from one kitchen task to the next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but don't forget to turn it off, September 18, 2007

This thermometer works well, it reads fairly quickly, and it has given me no reason to question it's accuracy.

But for whatever reason, in a world of electronic devices with momentary on switches and time-out features, this one has a single-throw lever switch. On is on, and off is off, with no embedded idle-detect program in between.

To compound this it's fairly easy to turn it on accidentally, however, in its defense, the first battery is still going strong, despite my having inadvertently left it powered-on in a drawer for days on end.

I should also note that it came with an extra battery, so at this time the power arrangement is a non-issue for me... it's just a little different than many things of this nature.
