Ultra High Accuracy Digital Pocket Thermometer with 180° Swivel Head and 5 Inch Stem, Dual Temperature Scale (14 to 212°F / -10 to 100°C), Includes Protective Case with Pocket Clip

A great value for a product that may be at risk.If you don't want 200 bucks of lab thermometer at the bottom of a tank of nasty stuff, or walking off (as pocket sized instruments seem to do on occasion), this is a great daily use device that gives reliable information. Far superior to the big name food checkers. I also tried those cheap battery panel type, and of a dozen, one was DOA, the rest read within a degree of each other, but that number was about 3.6 deg F high. After a month, they drifted and no longer agreed. Incorrect by 4 to 6 deg F is unacceptable for my work. This thermometer is the "room standard" and agrees with the high end panel controllers (100 ohm RTD) within 0.8 deg F or less. Even the good stuff is 2 or 3 tenths apart most of the time. It's repeatable and dependable. I took 1 star off "easy to read" because of auto off and a smallish display, which are a user preferences. If a double press would lock it on, it would be nearly perfect for my needs (as it is now). I'm going to order a couple more shortly. If only I could leave them in the tanks and just look thru the window to check temps, I'd order a bunch, one for each tank (7 and rising), but that's a specific use thing.Bottom line:Highly recommended!

After 4 months the ON/OFF switch quit (stuff happens). Contacted customer service, got quick response and they replaced it with an upgraded model, immediately. Recommend the Vee Gee IP67 over this model.Happy customer

Not sure how this made it to shipping in this condition. A replacement is on it's way so we shall see if the stars stay the same or increase.Received replacement today in the same condition. Does not power up. Setup for refund this time but my wife found a battery we had in another device switched it out and this one powered up as well as the original one I had ordered. Why supply a dead battery with these units. Since having a battery is in the description I think VEE GEE Scientific owes me a new battery.

I used this product to test the airflow and temperature out of my HVAC system. It worked extremely well and was very easy to set up. All you have to do once it’s out of the box is put in the battery and click on, and then you’re good to go. I’d highly recommend this to anyone in need of a thermometer for the same use.

Worked quickly, and seemed to be accurate, however too easy to get wet using for aquarium. Stopped working rather soon .

Seems to within +/-0.5C, great for cooking meat

The reason for not a 5 start overall review is due to the items are arriving with dead batteries after going through and reordering replacements I decided to install a brand new battery and it started to work it’s a very accurate thermometer but don’t work too well with a dead battery.

I purchased this thermometer for my saltwater aquarium as I was getting erratic readings on my digital thermometer. Just stick it in the water and within a few seconds I get a accurate reading. Awesome! I have also used this for rescuing a baby duckling. It takes a little longer to get a reading in the air but worked well. Highly recommend!

Great! Use to check water temperature for fish tank. Super accurate.

Right out of package it had a dead battery. Everything else i have ever purchased has had so sort of paper or plastic keeping the battery from making contact with terminals, but not this. The packaging is designed so that the on button can be activated in shipping. Even if it works after i get a new battery it will not have been worth the price. If you are going to order this make sure you also order some LR44 Batteries or do yourself a favour and order the Cooper Atkins thermometer. In my mind due to this inconvenience it will never be worth more than 1 star.Pictures show the packaging

arrived with a dead battery, needed to go buy another battery. disappointing for this price. gets the job done, not sure on the accuracy.

Seller claims battery is included. Dead batteries don't count.

The battery it came with was dead after replacing it, it did turn on but the buttons are terrible. It's hard to turn on and the °C/°F button doesn't work at all.
