Top Fin Digital Aquarium Thermometer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product has worked great for me. I like that I can read the temperature at a glance from a distance. If you prefer Celsius (0C-50C) over Fahrenheit (32F-122F) or vice versa you can set it to your preference. I have used it in my small 10 gallon freshwater aquarium for about a year now and it still works great. It seems accurate but the suction cup tends to not stick to the glass after a while. It also has a small plastic tab in the back so you can sit it upright on a flat surface but if you want it on a wall or to stick it to something you could probably use a double sided sticky mounting square. Otherwise, I recommend this product and think it is worth the ten bucks.
UPDATE: If your temperature is not reading acurately change the battery. This may seem obvious but mine was reading 17.something degrees F at times and then would go back to the actual temperature ~77F. Nothing on the package instructs you to know when to change the battery. Mine lasted about a year. The battery size is an AG10 or 389 electronics button battery.

Oregon Scientific AW129 Wireless BBQ Thermometer with Probe Thermometer and Remote Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the way to go. Perfect results every time. No more wondering if it's done. Whether you BBQ or smoke steak, hamburgers, chicken, veal, turkeys, pork - know when the right temperature has been reached each and every time. One MAJOR tip - the main unit and the probe both require to be RESET before the first use in order to sync up both signal and reception. The reset button is located inside each device's battery compartment. If your unit doesn't work right out of the box, then this is most likely the reason. With both units on, press the reset button.

No more waiting by the grill to monitor cooking progress, this wireless thermometer alerts you when food has reached the perfect temperature--even if you're in another room or outside mingling with guests. With a range of 100 feet, the thermometer features a digital LCD screen and remote wireless probe. The thermometer has a range from 0 to 392 degrees F. A detachable belt clip and table stand makes it easy to keep the remote at your side or in arm's reach. And, not limiting the menu, the unit programs for beef, lamb, veal, hamburger, pork, turkey, chicken, and fish; signaling when meats are rare, medium-rare, medium, and well-done. The audio alert signals when the food is almost ready, ready, overcooked, and when you're out of range. A low battery indicator means optimal reliability. The purchase includes two AA and two AAA batteries to power both the transmitter and the remote receiver.

Honeywell TM005X Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was most interested in the humidity measurement. I conducted a calibration****(See update at end of review) with a sling psychrometer. A sling psychrometer measures wet bulb/dry bulb temperature and is the least expensive (albeit a bit tedious to use) and most accurate way to determine relative humidity (RH).
I needed to know relative humidity for curiosity indoors and for a chamber in my basement used to dry cure sausage (I needed a 70%RH environment). The Honeywell unit was spot on with the sling psychrometer (and temp. was accurate as well).
The unit is new; I need to check it over time for accuracy. However, it's running very well so far and the price is right. I'll be buying more remote sensors [...] I found the remote sensor part no. is TS33C, can find them on Amazon with that search).
The majority of complaints say the humidity is "off." However, I didn't see a single valid calibration conducted.
Update 01-March-2009
I just took the main unit, the sensor and sling psychrometer. The conditions in my home at time of testing were 68F and 30% relative humidity.
Main unit read 68.4F/30% RH
The Sensor: 68.0F/30% RH
Sling Psychrometer: 68F/31% RH
The sling psychrometer consists of two sealed thermometers and will never need a calibration, it is an accurate standard. This Honeywell Unit is pretty darn good.
Update 13-Dec-2009
Someone contacted me and corrected a big point. I did not calibrate the unit by adjusting it to a known standard, I simply compared the values. My apologies for this rather serious error.

La Crosse Technology WS-9160U-IT Digital Thermometer with Indoor/Outdoor Temperature Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This wireless thermometer works extremely well and is easy
to set up - but you absolutely must follow the directions exactly.
Range is excellent - but just make sure that some large object such
as a metal shed or a large oak tree is not in line-of-sight between
any of the transmitters and the receiver.
I am using 3 of these temp sensors with the 915 MHz receiver. One
sensor came with the receiver, and I just purchased two more, since the
receiver can display up to three different temperatures from three
sensors. However be advised that if you carry one or more of these
sensors out of range and the receiver loses track of it, you absolutely
must take the batteries out of all three sensors and out of the
receiver and re-initialize all of them. This is not a difficult step,
since I did it several times while playing around with the sensors to
see how much range they had - which resulted in the receiver losing
track of one of them.
When you first see the instruction booklet that comes with the receiver,
it looks daunting, but not to worry, since only a tiny part of it is in
English, with all the rest in other languages. Once all the temp sensors are
initialized, then it takes only a few seconds to set the clock.
I read in other reviews that some buyers had problems getting their
receiver to respond to some sensors, but that is because the buyers failed
to properly re-initialize their units. Also be advised that if you buy
a display unit that receives transmissions at 915 MHz, then you absolutely
must buy sensors that also transmit at 915 MHz. Several of the sensors
that are sold by Amazon look alike, but not all of them use 915 MHz, so
carefully read the tech specs to make sure that both the transmitter and
the receiver operate at 915 MHz.

CDN Touch Screen Probe Thermometer and Timer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I called the company to ask which thermometer to buy. I bought this one because -
1. It does NOT have preset temps. for rare, medium, well done... (we pull red meat, medium rare at 130 degrees). I want to just set the temperature and have it beep when the temperature is reached. This thermometer does that VERY NICELY.
2. The temperature range is past 500 degrees. I figured I had less likelehood of having problems with the thing dying in a hot oven if it had a higher temp range. The last probe thermometer I bought from another company lasted one, yes one use. It took me two years to buy another and so far, it is working like a champ.
3. The thermometer has a tougher wire than most and plugs into the unit with a stereo type plug (not easy to get to). If you pull, the probe unplugs instead of breaking.
The negative - no off and on switch; in order to save batteries you have to remove the back and the batteries..
So far, it has worked really well. The probe wraps nicely around the unit for storage. The digital readout is nice and large.
I find it interesting that the price point is lower because the unit does not have preset temps - a feature that I find annoying and useless anyway. Oh, well, I happily kept my money.
Time will tell if it can stand up to the heat...
