Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

too cheap,you get what you pay for on this,bought 4 threw 1 away, done the ice test and it was way off ,the others were useable but would not buy again.
Using for a toaster reflow oven and it appears to work well. I picked this one over cheaper ones because the insulation is rated for 250 degrees C which about the maximum I expect the oven to get. While K-type thermocouples themselves can read over 1000 degrees C, you have to watch the insulation on them. Cheaper ones have insulation rated for much less. Just be careful to select a thermocouple whose insulation exceeds your maximum temperature requirement.
I'm using this with a Sears Craftsman multi-meter, it works as expected. Reads instantly. The wire lead itself seems a bit fragile so you have to use and carry it carefully. That lead is coated in silicone (the kind that silicone bakeware is made of- flexible, rubbery), which will probably do a good job of protecting it from intense heat. The K-Type bladed connector is a pretty flimsy piece of plastic, but again, treat it carefully and it should last.
Recommended for limited budget people who'll use it occasionally (home use, i.e., checking/ calibrating your oven temperature, etc) and can treat it with caution. Not recommended for professionals who will use it constantly, need to rely on it and will probably abuse it. Those folks should spend a few more dollars and get a name brand one with a warranty, made of higher grade components.
FWIW, I use it to check oven temperatures for baking and also to monitor mash temperature for home beer brewing.
