Product Description

Need a quick and easy way to determine the morning temperature? Check out the TIMEX TX5020 electronic thermometer, a versatile desktop model that simultaneously displays both the inside and outside temperatures on its large LCD display. This compact unit - which mounts on a wall or sits unobtrusively on a tabletop or shelf - offers a wide indoor and outdoor temperature range. As a result, you can instantly gauge whether to bring the plants inside during a cold spell, turn up the heat in the living room, or put on a jacket before taking a stroll. The TX5020 includes a minimum/maximum memory function that records the high and low temperatures of the day. Thermometer includes a wired, weather-resistant probe for gauging the outdoor temperature (to access outside temperatures, main unit will need to be located near a window, so probe can gauge outside temperatures). The TX5020 has a sleek and convenient design with its silver housing and oversized front-panel controls.

I bought two units and place them side by side at my desk. Each unit reads the temperature with two different sensors, and the agreement between the four readings was reasonable, total difference of the order of 1 C. However, after a few days one of them just stopped working. The other one is still OK one month later. If I were to buy it again it would rather choose a more expensive one.

For the price, this is not a bad little thermometer. It seems to be reasonably accurate within a degree or two. The only problem I have with it is the construction. It is made of very cheap plastic so it won't be too durable and, in the one I bought at least, the battery compartment was not well made. The single AAA battery won't fit snugly into the compartment in back so, until I wedged a piece of paper in the compartment with it, it often popped out even when I had replaced the plastic lid to the compartment. Other than that, though, it works well.
