The old one was dropped on its sensing tip and broke, so I purchased two new ones. I originally bought an older version of this thermometer for brewing beer. It turns out that they are perfect for checking the temp of baby bottles as well. They read fast, they are very easy to calibrate, though both were within 0.1°F from the factory. This is a great digital thermometer.
This digital thermometer was so useful and accurate I purchased one for each of my children.
Subscriber/viewer/fan of Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen since 2004. I've had it for 6 months now and not only was it inexpensive, it really does give you a reliably instant, accurate read. And, as always, they were so right. This is a great little product. So easy to use. Very pleased with this purchase.
Otherwise it worked well, no problem with battery life. I used this item for two years and now the red paint on the probe tip is peeling off. It is top heavy, so the face is always turning downward and that makes it a bit awkward to read. Did it get into our food. Hard to say. But if not for the paint issue I'd give it 4 stars. Because of the paint issue, I tossed it.
I found out about this thermometer from the PBS show Cooks County. It is a very easy to use thermometer. Quick and accurate - it's great. I highly recommend it.
