Great Thermometer!!
By johnny c
I purchased two of these thermometers from Target a few years back and really liked them. Target stopped carrying them so I turned to the best shopping site ever to get a few more. The two new thermometers were exactly the same as the previous two from Target so I was very happy about that. I made sure the ones from Amazon weren't cheap fakes or rejects by placing them side by side with the Targets and they were spot on, no variance in temp.

I have a garage fridge that gets a bit testy in the cold Minnesota winters so I cannot use the freezer section for about four to five months out of the year. The other seven or eight months we use it to store frozen treats and ice cream so it is critical to know when it's time to yank stuff out before it melts and spills everywhere. These thermometers do the job perfectly.

The remaining two thermometers are in my house fridge and give me a constant update on temp. Throughout the year it is necessary to adjust cooling settings both in the house and garage fridges so these make that job a snap. Neither of my fridges are fancy so turning the cooling knob from three to four doesn't tell me a thing but all the guesswork is gone now.

Lastly the most important and helpful part of these thermometers is the color coding. The temperature danger zone is clearly marked and makes it very easy to just glance and know you are safe. The words REF are visible in the pink section on the thermometer so you know immediately if there is a problem or not. As a restaurant manager for four years I understand the importance of proper food temperature. I would not chance my families health especially knowing I could have easily spent five or six bucks to help prevent a food borne illness. If you've ever had one you know what I mean.

Decent for the price, temperature slightly off.
By Michele Aguirre
I calibrated this thermometer using an ice water bath as a reference. The ice water bath is at 32F. The thermometer sat in the ice bath (inside two Ziploc bags to keep water out) for about an hour or so inside my refrigerator. The temperature on the dial read 34F. Now I know that the thermomter is slightly off, but I can subtract 2F from the indicated temperature to get the true temperature. Given the cheap price, I can't complain. Worth the money.

At a glance confirmation for your fridge and freezer
By J. P. Kelly
I had a problem with our freezer and wanted to get thermometers to confirm that all was working right.

These fit the bill and were price right.

They have color coded areas on the face that show the proper temps and make it very easy to visually confirm temps whenever you open the door.
