Bought this because we were tired of the inaccurate and microsopic "outdoor" thermometer/compass combos. Large display, very accurate, reacts quickly, water resistant and, importantly for us, has an on/off switch. Negatives are: digits are on a clear background, making them hard to read under certain conditions, difficult to mount on a string, and little heavy. Only the clear background will affect those using this for its intended purpose.
Stays stuck for maybe 1 minute before it falls. It's a good size and the digital readout works well. The suction cup does not work at all in our refrigerator. It would rate a 4 or 5 if the suction cup works, but I was generous with a 3 star rating. Don't buy it if you absolutely want the suction cup feature.
Really poor design. They are a different color (ours are silver) but same brand and design.Three problems:1. We bought two of these. If they'd designed it so the display was BELOW or ABOVE the suction cup it would probably stay stuck.2. It's mounted so it hangs off the side of the suction cup, putting a small amount of torque on the suction cup, which pulls it off the window after a few days. We tried cleaning the window and wetting it (didn't try the trick with vegetable oil). Display is transparent and unreadable at night.3. Both of these lasted about a year.I think it was fairly accurate if you keep it out of the sunlight (like any thermometer)
For almost no money, you can find out the room temperature with a small portable thermometer. Can't stand the heat in the kitchen. Freezing in the bedroom.Find out why. I don't know why it took me so long to buy this.
This thermometer is easy to read and great for the freezer. The only complaint is that it doesn't stay stuck to the inside, but then neither did the two other freezer thermometers that I've tried. I love it, and highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a reliable freezer thermometer.
