The screw for the battery compartment is tiny, you need a micro screw driver to open it, which I don’t have. The pull tab could have been placed such that it can be removed without having to remove the battery compartment. Whoever designed this did a terrible job. I would have expected better for the price I paid.

It doesn’t work. Returned it and got the same brand thinking I just got a bad one and the new one didn’t work either. Fiddled the battery and everything. I’ve never wrote a review before but this one made me mad.

Didn't work!
It wouldn't turn on! I had to replace the battery. Can't believe it came with a dead battery.

Junk
This thermometer never worked; out of the box it wouldn't turn on. I've opened the battery cover (with a tiny screwdriver) and fiddled with the battery, and sill nothing.

Tried changing the battery, nothing. Last time i buy Taylor brand thermometers, they are unreliable in my opinion, will be returning tomorrow.

Complete trash does not even turn on
This does not work at all. It doesn’t even turn on. I tried to return it through the app but it claims it can’t be returned, or even selected as a product to request help for. I no longer have the packaging because I didn’t think it would be a defective item.

Junk
Could not open the battery cover to remove the protective slip. The thermometer cannot work until the protective slip is off. What a piece of junk. Do not buy.

Do not know if it works like it says because either the battery provided is dead or it doesn’t work. Rather disappointing.

Not worth the price
Check with a glass of ice water. Seemed accurate. Display is dimly lit. Came with a dead battery. Shuts off quickly need to use the hold function to see temp. Magnet does not hold weight of item to hang up. Over priced for the quality of item.
