Taylor Extra Large Metal Wall Indoor Outdoor Thermometer, Easy to Read Numbers for Patio, Pool, and Indoor Areas, 18 inch, White

This review is for Taylor Extra Large Metal Wall Indoor Outdoor Thermometer, Easy to Read Numbers for Patio, Pool, and Indoor Areas, 18 inch, White. I bought it February 2025. I needed an outdoor thermometer at my remote cabin's front porch large enough to be able to read it with my front porch Ring doorbell camera when I am away. And one that does not need batteries as it gets cold there. The distance between camera and thermometer is probably five feet. Previously, I bought a 12-in diameter thermometer but the numbers were not that clear on-camera especially at night with just the porch light on, and, although I could figure the numbers out, the thermometer needle itself was too skinny at the business end to see where it was actually pointing. (Maybe the newest generation ring doorbell camera has sharper resolution, dunno.) This 18-inch diameter outdoor thermometer, however, did the trick. Not only are the numbers unmistakable huge but its red needle is wide enough at the business end that I can always see where its pointing when looking at it via my Ring doorbell camera. As far as accuracy goes, I placed it on my cabin's front porch just above a small traditional mercury thermometer that was already there, in order to compare the two readings. I waited a few hours to let this new thermometer acclimate and the two thermometers are reading identically and still do over a course of several days. This means I won't need to return it! I'm glad it's accurate because this 18-inch thermometer has no way to calibrate it; it's a very simple flat-spring coil on the back, as you can expect. I'm surprised this thermometer has to cost a whopping 50 bucks when it looks and feels so lightweight and simple but whatcha gonna do? All in all, I spent the money, got what I wanted: A large round thermometer that is easy-to-read through my doorbell Ring camera. And is accurate. Hooray.

Love it can see from a distance

Wow, so easy to read and I don't even need to go outside to see it, but I questioned the accuracy of it because it doesn't read the same temp as my weather app. HOWEVER, since my weather app says it's raining right now at my house and I'm looking at full sunshine out there, I'd say my weather app sucks. I bought this Taylor because I know the Taylor bath scales I've had in the past are extremely accurate, so I'm going to say that this temperature gauge IS accurate and I need to get a new weather app on my phone.

Arrived damaged: if the contents of your package shifts it will create distortion on the thermometer face under the glass bevel, making thermometer useless. Would like to re order but option was not available. UPS charged $7.39 for extra tape & something called cartonizing fee. This was UPS fee not Prime Amazon.

This Taylor Extra Large Metal Wall Indoor Outdoor Thermometer is beautiful! I like that it's 18 inches in diameter, which makes it easy to read from quite a distance. It is also easy to hang, I used zip ties to attach it to a railing on the patio and it is sturdy and oh-so useful. Great product.

Excellent

It's easy to hang and easy to see from a distance, but, the temperature reading is always 20 degrees warmer than the actual temperature, regardless if it's a warm day or a cold day.

Very easy to see!

Excelente calidad y tiempo de entrega

Works great and my sister has no problem seeing it

well made and beautiful

Outdoor by the pool. Excellent!!

I should have clarified whether the large numbers were Fahreheit or Celsius. Being from Canada the large numbers should have been Celsius, they are not. Even as large as the thermometer is, it is hard to read the Celsius numbers.
