" ... Not sure about accuracy but it looks and feels top-notch. ... "
" ... What I especially like is the LED backlighting, which lets you easily read the digital display, and the "hold" feature, which allows you to remove the thermometer from the item being cooked and hold the reading for examination outside the oven. ... The probe is just a spike, so it fits anywhere without the display area of the thermometer getting in the way. ... I liked this design much more than any of the other 5 cooking thermometers I've tried. ... "
" ... Good size & color. ... "
" ... It is very fast, much better than a dial thermometer as the display never sticks. ... "
" ... This one feels like it will be there when I need it. ... "
" ... Screen illuminates when needed, easy one handed use, and you don't have to be a programmer to turn it on. ... "
" ... I like the large display and especially the back light when I'm working on my grill at night. ... "
" ... Love the light up LCD, easy to read and shut off so it doesn't drain the battery. ... "

" ... Not to mention the back is magnetic so you won’t lose it. ... "
" ... The magnet is perfect, too. ... It can go right up on the vent hood when I'm done. ... "
" ... Easy to read and I really like the Magnet as it is always where I need it. ... "
" ... The magnet is secure enough to keep it from slipping on the side of my refrigerator, but it slides down on the door as it opens and closes, so it could use a stronger magnet. ... "
" ... I also like the built in magnet 🧲.! ... "
" ... Like the built in magnet. ... "
" ... Very simple and loved the extra velcro tabs ... "
