Thermometer 50 300%C2%B0C 100 600%C2%B0F Instant Stainless Reviews Summary

Usability

Pros:

• "Works like a charm and easily attaches/ unattaches to the oven rack."
• "I just hooked it over a rack so I can see it from the oven window."
• "Definitely works. I knew my oven thermostat was wonky, but now I know it’s non-linear so I just rely on this baby perched on my rack."
• "Thermometer seems to be accurate and stays balanced on the oven rack."
• "This hooks right on the rack and stays in place with no problem."
• "This helped a lot and I loved that it could hang on the rack or sit flat."
• "Can be set on oven rack or can be hung from oven rack. Easy enough to read yet small in size."

Cons:

• "The device does not fit well on the oven rack, and is not that easy to read when I bend over to check."
• "This thermometer seems to be accurate. Only downside is that it keeps getting knocked off. Wished the hook was a little deeper."
• "The base is small so it falls through my oven grate, so I can't just stand it up."
• "The bracket that normally would allow you to hang it from an oven rack is just straight, so nothing to attach to the rack."
• "The timer is so small it sits so precariously on the oven shelf that if you move the shelf to check on items in the oven, it falls off."
• "The hook is not tight enough and the flat piece not large enough."
• "The hook on the top is positioned so that the thermometer faces sideways if hanging on a regular oven rack."

Readability

Pros:

• "It's easy to read and easy to use."
• "I appreciate the easy to read print on this thermometer."
• "Thermometer is easy to read and lets you know if your oven temperature is accurate."
• "Sturdy construction, easy to read, responds quickly to temp changes, and compact size."
• "It looks really nice and was easy to read and seems durable."
• "Numbers are easy to read so with my oven light on, I could check it through the oven window as it progressed."
• "Looks good and accurate, and the numbers are big enough to see through the oven window."

Cons:

• "It is small, so not in the way, but that also makes the numbers a little harder to read. However, once you get used to where they are it's fine."
• "Hard for older eyes to read in less than optimal light (in the oven)."
• "It is difficult to read (the numbers are big enough but the in-between hashmarks are not easy to see)."
• "Unfortunately, the Fahrenheit scale is too close to the top and it is hard to read when hanging under a shelf."
• "The metals very thin, which I guess is OK. But it’s hard to see when you place it in the oven or barbecue. The face is just so small."
• "I should have paid more attention to the description of the size of this thermometer. It is tiny and a little hard to read."
• "However, the face and numbers are quite small and difficult to read without opening the oven door."

Accuracy

Pros:

• "Well Made on Stainless steel good size. You can see it perfectly its pretty accurate overall it's the perfect balance between Quality and price."
• "The thermometer arrived well ahead of schedule, which is good since we have Samsung repair scheduled for later in the week! I reset the oven again and used the thermometer to test the temp. The stove read exactly as the thermometer."
• "I was having trouble with baking on my oven, so I purchased this thermometer to see if the oven was keeping the temperature it was set at. This thermometer indicated that it was about 25-35 degrees hotter than it was set. I called a technician, and he told me that these thermometers are not accurate. Guess what??? when he did his testing, he discovered that this thermometer was right on target. He got the same readings as this little gadget. He had to eat his words and fix the oven!"
• "Used to check a micro/toaster oven for accurate temperature readings and it worked like a charm."
• "Bought these to monitor the different rack temps in my new oven. Good news is that they both read the same and within a couple of degrees of my laser temp gun."
• "Accurate temperature reading. I heated my oven to 350° and the beeper said ready."
• "The thermometer is in perfect agreement with the temperature I set on my oven."

Cons:

• "Like everything from Amazon, this quite working. Got about 18 months of use before it stopped."
• "Bought this to replace an old oven thermometer which was damaged. This new one is always off compared to the oven setting."
• "Did not read correctly at all. Had maintenance check with meter and it didn’t read correct at all."
• "Not sure about the accuracy of the unit, the oven temperature read different each time, between 25-50 degrees different."
• "I guess I got what I paid for."
• "Tested this in two ovens and used a 1990's oven thermometer for comparison. This unit reads at least 50 degrees higher than actual temperature shown on the ovens and the older oven thermometer."
• "Either the thermometer is wrong or my oven is wrong, but I think it is the thermometer because it reads as 325 degrees but then tonight the cake wasn't done after an hour in the 325 oven."

Durability

• "It looks really nice and was easy to read and seems durable."
• "Very durable and reliable."
• "This oven thermometer seems sturdy and well made."
