One satisfied customer shared, “I find that there are truly ‘few’ good deals in the retail market. However, THIS IS ONE OF THEM! … Ease of use and accuracy out of the box is phenomenal; it never touches the hot surface so will never suffer heat damage; the warranty for such an inexpensive item is outstanding; and it even included batteries! Chalk me up as a fan!”

“I got this mainly because I love to cook outdoor on my Blackstone, on my grills, and smokers,” related one backyard gourmand. “Sometimes you really need to know your hotspots so you can get good seats and also you don’t overcook your food. So this helps a lot. It is made of good quality plastic. Easy to grip and really sturdy. It comes with the battery so no need to buy it separately. To use you just point and press the trigger. It will turn on automatically. As long as you keep the trigger press it will continue measuring the temperature and once you release the trigger it will display the temp for a minute or so and then it will shut down automatically. The screen is easy to read. It’s backlit so you can use it at night and you can change between Celcius and Farenheit.” He concluded, “Versatile and precise.”
