It worked fine until it broke

Twice worked very well. Stopped working for the third time. Now it reads 97 degrees too high and there is no way to recalibrate it. I still had one month of warranty left, so I submitted a customer support request through the AcuRite website. I received an automated email confirming my request and containing the ticket number. The company has never contacted me again and will not reply to my emails.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • sad packaging

I like the alarm system of this thermometer

I like the alarm system of this thermometer. I often use it to make homemade yogurt. Also suitable for cooking meat or roasts at a certain temperature. My son gave me my first one and I liked it so much I bought another one when it broke. (I used it to check the temperature in the freezer and then it stopped working. It may have been a cause or a coincidence.) I also like the remote alarm, so I can hear the alarm on my belt anywhere in the house . My first lasted over 6 years and I make yogurt…

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • weak

Bing turkey is done

I love this thermometer. just stick that sharp object into the thick part of the meat, set the desired temperature (or time) and you're good to go. The pager will sound when you reach the desired temperature. it is very easy to use. I never read the instructions, but I managed it without any problems. So you can either cook other foods or sit down and have a beer without having to constantly check on your meat. I like to set the temp 10 degrees lower than needed so I know I'm getting closer…

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Makes me angry

Meat thermometer for thermometer and timer

I read the instructions and realized that this is exactly what I needed, a meat thermometer. If you want to measure the temperature of the oven, use something else, otherwise you will destroy the sensor. The cable may be rated for the oven temperature, but the sensor itself is not. It works for me and the paging feature allows me to do something in another room and still hear the temperature reaching alarm. Before I got it, I burned a lot of food and had to air the house after the smoke alarms…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not bad

One step closer to perfection every time

We love it. We bought one six months ago and bought a couple more for the family for Christmas. It's pretty easy to use and as long as you position the sensor correctly, it works well. I would have preferred to have a fully off mode rather than showing the time all the time and burning up the battery between uses, but that's my only real complaint. The thermocouple is a bit large but has a fast response time and as long as you set the alarm you can't go wrong. it) and doesn't work anymore, so…

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

First time works fine, second time in a month

I bought this AcuRite product after using it 2 times here are the results: first time it works fine, the second time a month later there is no connection between the probe and the remote control, i check the batteries which were fully charged, i change and put new batteries in both the side sensor and the remote control. Nothing works, no connection. I am contacting Revain sellers to see if they know of any issues with this type of device or have a solution. He replied that the response was…

Pros
  • stylish and modern design
Cons
  • almost everything is here
