Overall Feedback:
87% positive
64% highlighted the clear display, though 36% found it hard to read.
I find the digital display easy to read with my senior citizen eyes compared to the old analog models. It is also simple to use and displays the temperature quickly.
The rotating face of the probe makes it easier to read than some other probes.

70% praised for its high accuracy, while 30% found it unreliable.
The accuracy is not bad and the boiling water hovers around 98-99.5C.
The thermometer is very accurate.
My sample is 4 degrees low. Some tips were provided on how to check the accuracy of the thermometer, such as testing it in boiling water and adjusting for altitude.
The thermometer is not accurate.
62% found the battery life exceptional, although 38% had issues with it dying quickly.
The battery life is not amazing for brewing. I would like it to be twice as long. However, it does a great job of pinpointing temperature.
My brand new battery is almost out of power, indicating poor battery life.
The battery drained easily because the item turns on with a slight bump.
When the battery died, I couldn't turn the device back on with a new battery.

71% appreciated its robust build, yet 29% found it fragile.
The pivoting head is the best feature of this thermometer. It helps to reach hard-to-reach areas in the oven and allows me to see the screen easily.
I have used 2 Thermapens in the last 15 years and was never impressed with them, but they were more durable than other thermometers I had.
The thermometer timer is not durable as water got trapped in the screen within a week and the battery is already corroding.
I broke the on/off switch of the product after it fell from a height of 3 feet. It is mechanically fragile.

67% liked its fast reading time, although 33% found it slow.
It takes 20-30 seconds for me to reach the actual temperature with the reader.
The thermometer takes at least 10 seconds to respond and never really settles on a number.
The instructions should include the time it takes to get an accurate reading. From my experience, it takes at least 20 seconds, which is not instant.
I have complained that the thermometer stopped working after a few uses, which is not acceptable.

I have accidentally turned off the thermometer many times while pushing it into the meat, possibly due to the power button's location.

64% appreciated its waterproof feature, yet 36% found it lacking.
I warn that the needle has a hollow with the probe inside, so be careful when pulling it out.
I accidentally dropped the unit in the sink while cleaning and it got ruined. Additionally, it won't turn off and drains the batteries.
I rated it 3 stars because it has no water resistance.
The thermometer is not water resistant.
