Review on AcuRite 00515M Digital Wireless Fridge and Freezer Thermometer with Alarm and Max/Min Temperature - Ideal for Home and Restaurants by John Pound

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent - Accurate - Economy Bottom Freezer

This unit is easy to install and operate. It takes about 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize. Place the screen a few meters away from the refrigerator. He keeps in touch and is always working. The screen is easy to read from a distance of several meters, although it is not backlit. We bought our new GE Profile French Door temperature control refrigerator. Some reviews of this fridge suggested that it had trouble maintaining temperature, especially in the freezer. Of course, about a week after we bought this unit, although the freezer open door alarm was not working, it showed that the freezer temperature was rising rapidly. When we opened the freezer we found that frost was forming quickly and the freeze compressor was running at full power. It turns out that this style of bottom freezer with a top drawer can be finicky and result in a leaky seal if not fully closed. The problem is solved. This device also continuously monitors the high and low temperatures of the last 24 hours, so we can quickly see how our fridge has cooled down over a period of time. This is useful for determining if a new refrigerator is doing its job properly. The device also allows you to set an alarm when the temperature in the fridge or freezer falls below or above the temperature you set. It's also a great feature for detecting crashes or other issues. I strongly recommend this device. Especially if you have a new French door or a different fridge.
