63% highlighted the clear display, though 37% found it hard to read.
I can easily read the numbers on the display due to its size, despite my age.
The thermometer has a big display which makes it easy to read the numbers without any difficulty. This feature is helpful for me personally as I am old.
The product displays recommended cooking temperatures for each type of meat.
The display is difficult to navigate and not user-friendly.

67% appreciated its robust build, yet 33% found it fragile.
I have bought other instant read thermometers before, but they all lasted less than a year. This one has lasted longer.
I changed my rating from 1 star to 2 stars in my review, as the product lasted nearly a year and a half despite my initial doubts about its durability.
I couldn't find a reset button on the instant-read thermometer-timer, so it's now trash.
After 2 years of use, the seam on my probe cracked and the probe came out due to stress on the plastic pieces that connect it to the wheel.

66% liked its fast reading time, although 34% found it slow.
I can confirm that the product reads temperature in 2-3 seconds for room temperature.
I attached a photo of the 2nd thermometer reading 186 degrees on my table.
The thermometer takes about 6-8 seconds to get a stable reading.
The thermometer takes around 20 seconds to get to the actual temperature instead of the promised 2-3 seconds.

63% found the battery life exceptional, although 37% had issues with it dying quickly.
With moderate use, I had to replace the battery every three months, which was shorter than expected.
The thermometer is not registering any temperature, but the battery is working because the screen is lighting up.
When the battery dies, I will have to throw away the unit which makes it overpriced.
Even with a new battery, the product stops working, similar to other negative reviews.

63% highlighted its timer functionality, although 37% found it unnecessary.
After a month or two of using it, the light stopped working.
I am disappointed with the thermometer's claimed 2-3 second reading time as it takes around 10 seconds or more to provide an accurate reading.
The product's claim of reading in 3-4 seconds is not true.
For an instant read thermometer, it takes way too long to get a stable reading, usually taking about 6-8 seconds.

63% appreciated its waterproof feature, yet 37% found it lacking.
After cleaning the thermometer under running water a few times, it stopped working. Water vapor appeared in the reading window and the light stopped working, making it impossible to use in the dark while grilling.
I have doubts about the thermometer's waterproofing due to its build quality and wide seams.
