Very fast and accurate.

I've been through a lot of "instant" read thermometers. This is the first one I've found, really instantly (less than 1 second). I've found myself using it a lot more because it reads so quickly. It is calibrated when you receive it, but you can calibrate it yourself if you need it for some reason. Useful to flip left/right hand text. My only complaint, as others have mentioned, is the very weak magnet. It's barely enough to support the weight of the thermometer, but not enough to hold it in…

Pros
  • Home & Kitchen
Cons
  • boring packaging

Supplied with display at -50°C.

The one I have has -50 on the display and doesn't change. I put it in boiling water and ice, no change. I have requested a replacement and will update the rating based on the return experience and the quality of the replacement. TO UPDATE. The replacement was delivered very quickly and works as advertised. All companies will have multiple BooB (Bad of Box) products. What makes a good company is how they deal with substitutes. I gave this item 4 stars for the item itself. and the return…

The magnet is a bit weak.

Just got this thermometer and just tested it in an ice bath to make sure it's accurate. It worked great. The display is nice and big. The backlight is nice. I think a graduated probe would make it easier to get that deep into some cuts of meat. The only negative thing I noticed is that the magnet is a bit weak. When I first attached it to the fridge, it immediately slipped off a few inches. It doesn't really matter for my fridge as I have lots of other magnets I can use to support it. But other

Pros
  • Ultra-fast 1-3 second response time with better than ±0.9°F accuracy.
Cons
  • Almost everything is there

Professional but confusing

This is my first Lavatools product and I am very satisfied. I really need an instant read thermometer that is both instant and accurate. And since we wash everything, it has to be waterproof (so I needed a new one and the old one didn't). I use it on the grill, smoker and in the kitchen. What I like is that the touch part of the tip is on the tip and not 1cm above it. And the transducer is LONG and VERY thin and has markings so you get the same depth with every measurement. It takes less than 5

Pros
  • Large 1.4 inch backlit display with IP67 splash-proof housing.
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
