    I found the resolution was 0.5 deg F at 212 deg F, not 0.1 deg as I recalled reading in the specifications. The boiling point of water measured 213 deg F and not 212 deg F. The display was easy to read. It cannot remain in a hot oven.

    I purchased this unit due to the many recommendations AND because the Taylor Product website claimed that these were being manufactured in the USA. The Taylor production had moved to China years ago. Our family has boycotted all Chinese made products for more than 10 years. I would have sought out an alternative if the product’s country of origin had been accurately described by either Amazon or by Taylor. The negative review is not a reflection of poor performance or problems with the unit.

    How wonderful I was invited to review this item. I tried it YESTERDAY for the first time. Doesn’t work. Won’t even turn on. Battery? who knows but I hesitate to invest in a battery since I am already out the cost of the item. I plan to check with amazon to see if they will make this right.

    For nearly 30 years, I’ve used Taylor and other brand thermometers for checking the temperature of baby bird food, which must not be too hot or it will burn their delicate crop tissue – and not too cool to where they won’t eat enough. I’ve only had this waterproof thermometer for about a month and it is already not “dead”, but constantly “live” and won’t shut off. It’s going back on the slow boat to China. It might still be ON if the battery holds out.

    As others have noted, it is slow compared to other products and other Taylor digital thermometers.

    The on button was always hard to depress. The readout was ok…no better than any other. I liked the length of it since it fit good inside a mug that is half full. I pray that we can get back to good quality controlled USA made products. I’m so tired of out-of-country JUNK. I try very hard not to buy Chinese or Mexican products, but it’s almost unavoidable. If I can do without them, I do. I thought Taylor was US made. Not so!
