Used this twice. Both times it gave a reading of the meat being at a temp of about 90 degrees when in fact it was done cooking. Followed the directions to recalibrate, still had same results.
We bought this based on the reviews but were very disappointed and returned it.
UPDATE
the customer service is outstanding. They noticed my 1 star review and reached out to me immediately. They refunded the entire cost as well as sent a free replacement. The replacement works much better and gives an accurate temperature reading. The first thermometer must have been defective.
Very happy with the new thermometer!

Good thermometer but sloooow
By Troy L. on March 23, 2019
Have used the Kizen instant read thermometer for the past few months with some mixed results. The thermometer does give an accurate reading and is easy to use. It's also durable and easy to clean. The magnetic backing is also a nice feature as it is easy to stick places and not have to reach to find it. My problem with the Kizen instant read thermometer is that it isn't at all "instant" or even fast. I purchased it knowing I wanted a very fast thermometer so I could probe meat in my smoker and get quick readings while holding the door open. Heat and smoke are precious when cooking and I hate to have to hold the door open longer than necessary so that's why I picked the Kizen - knowing its claim of reading in 2-3 seconds. From my experience, the thermometer climbs a bit slowly for 5-7 seconds before providing a reading, sometimes longer. Watching it climb 135, 142, 155, 164, 169, 170, 173, 174... and then probing different areas in the meat, or different pieces of meat, really is a killer. Just doing the math, if I have to probe 5 times and it takes 7 seconds per probe, I have the smoker door open for more than half a minute, easy. If it did just take 2-3 seconds, I'd have the door open for only a third as long and thats what I had hoped for when I bought the Kizen model. For open pan grilling I'll continue to use it but for my grill / smoker, I'm going to be looking for something else, something faster.

Gave my hubby as part of a bbq basket, he loves it... he just tested my daughters bath, it measured 102.4 degrees, seems a little on the rare side...

waterproof? a lie
By Sarah C on February 23, 2019
It started off fine, but I’ve only had this product for a month and it already has condensation over the temperature. Waste of money. As a side note, it’s not 201 degrees inside my house either like it says in the picture.

It worked well for a while but then started reading temperatures +200 or so for a day before not working altogether. Yes, I tried changing the battery.Reviewed in Australia on April 1, 2021
I've contacted Amazon about this twice and had no response. I was told I would receive a response within a timeframe, I think it was a couple of days but have heard nothing back after several weeks. Quite frankly, I consider this as an embarrassment, I've dealt with Amazon in other countries and they've always been pretty decent so I thought purchasing from Amazon US, operating in a country known for customer service, I would be looked after well. To add to my disappointment, I noticed that there's a lifetime guarantee on the product. Just how do they propose to uphold that?
I wouldn't advise anyone to purchase this product. It worked well for a while but if it breakdown and
is to be thrown away after a couple of months use it just isn't worth it
