Taylor Stainless Steel Digital Foldable Probe Meat Thermometer with Blue Backlight Display

Easy to use %26 convenient. I want to try making a brisket and this is a necessity. Well made. As soon as you pull the plastic strip that covers the battery, it starts reading the room temp. Off button on back. Plus button to turn on light to view temp in dark areas or night time. I like it!

i like it and it's much easier to use and better than a round clock type thermometer, but the back light doesn't stay lit up long enough, and when i hit it again to light it back up, it shuts off, so i'm constantly turning it on and off, but other than that, it's nice and much better and accurate than what i had.

The deice works fine, but it doesn't turn on when you open the probe. You cannot read the display unless the light is on or in reflective light. Hard to do in the over. The light only stays on for 2-3 seconds. Then you have to find the button on the back to turn the it back on? Rather annoying. The buttons on the back are very small.. I don't recommend this temperature problem.

As soon as I tried to use it on purchase date the compact folding thermometer did not work. It would not light up. Will be returning it.

Absolute garbage! The probe is mounted with a plastic housing, which promptly snapped/broke within a couple days of purchase. I would NOT purchase this ever again. It is very cheaply made.

This is a nice looking instrument, but functionally it is a bust. I expected much more from Taylor. 1) It is incredibly slow to measure temps. It takes 15 to 30 seconds to stabilize and read the temperature. This is far too slow for a digital thermometer by standards set by today's market. There are many options that read in a couple of seconds and faster. 2) The low temperature reading against ice in a glass of iced water was 34 degrees F. It should have much close to 32 degrees. I expected 32 and maybe a fraction. 3) The high temperature reading in rapidly boiling water was low: 209.7 to 210.0 (it never stabilized). This should have been 212 degrees F. The inaccuracies could be tolerated if the speed were better. But as it is, it is pretty worthless and will be relegated to the junk drawer.

Broke first time used. The plastic that holds the probe is about the thickness of a sheet of notebook paper. Snapped off on first use.

I ordered two of these thermometers. One broke within just a few uses, which I returned. Two months later (beyond the return time allotment), the other one has broken. They literally fell apart when using. I had one prior to purchasing these ( I bought these as a gift and as a backup), which is still working fine, but the two recent purchases are cheaply made a not at all durable. I'm very disappointed and will look for another brand.

A bad product in a weird way.  They do not tell you that you need the type of screwdriver that you use for eyeglass hinges to remove the battery. There is no battery included. However , the package says you have to remove the plastic strip to activate the battery.  😀 the one that is not included. the button that you have to hold down for 3 seconds to read the temperature is so small.You would have to carry a ballpoint pen to push the button. I will be returning this tomorrow. Whoever approved this for sale at Walmart should be fired.

I bought this to use that day at a family function-I took out of package and it didnt turn on; looked at the pathetic instructions-and yep still didnt worked...so I the next day went to DG-which was closer to my location and bought -kind of fancier too, a similar one at a lower price. Yep dont waste your time and money buying this from walmart
