Within maybe two weeks of purchasing the little plastic part that connects the probe to the reader snapped, and just had loose cords. It still worked, but was really frustrating. I bought this as a replacement to another that I loved, but accidentally had left at the lake. this probe just really disappointed me. it takes so long to read the temperature in comparison to my other instant digital thermometer. I ended up getting my favorite digital thermometer back and just kept this broken flimsy one as back up
Loved til it broke :(

I used this a few times a week to check temperature of meat while cooking. It had held up pretty well, after about 7 months the little plastic piece holding the needle started to break but it held on for 2 more months till today when it finally totally broke off. But it was pretty good on everything else. For $8 it’s pretty good. It also came with a temperature guide on the packaging that I cut out and reference sometimes.
Disappointing

The flip probe was difficult to flip. The thermometer broke while using it the third time. Don’t waste your money.
Works well but faulty design

The thermometer itself works well but the button battery compartment is very flimsy and comes off easily. I received a replacement from Target but the issue is the same for the new one, so I think it’s just a bad design. Not a huge deal but if you have dogs/kids it’s important to have button batteries secure of course. So while the thermometer works well, I’m not a fan unfortunately!
Life changing!

This has been on my wish list for awhile and it is a life changing kitchen item. A digital thermometer takes the guess work and wait time out of the traditional thermometer. So happy I purchased!
Cheap Thermometer

No "On-Off" switch, so this thing will eat up battery life in no time. No light so if you're using it at night on a long cook on the grill, you can't see it. Works, but I wouldn't buy it again.
Stopped working

Stopped working after less than a month of using it. What a waste. Really liked how nice and sleeked it looked.
Worst meat thermometer

The worst meat thermometer. It takes 10+ seconds for it to read the temperature. It only increments by ~15 degrees. For example if the room temperature is 65F, it will increment by 10-15 degrees to whatever your meat temperature is. Buy one on Amazon, they’re all way better. The temperature reading is instant.

Wanted to like this but it was very fragile. Was not an instant thermometer, and broke easily. It didn’t even last two months.
