Freezer Thermometer

Installed in refrigerator. Works great and is accurate. Easy to read and ideal temperature is highlighted in red.

Love it. Dependable, reliable brand.

Quality product. Would highly recommend, super accurate- N. S. F. certified.

They are analogue (i.e., a dial that moves along a circular scale) rather than digital. Easy to read, which is what I needed. I have given it 4 stars rather than 5 because I can't tell how accurate they are. They are reading a few degrees different from the settings I entered for the refrigerator and freezer compartments. I don't know if the settings produce accurate results inside those compartments.

I purchased two of these thermometers after I had a failure of my kitchen refrigerator/freezer. For some reason (I suspect the fridge door was not fully closed) the coil had frozen up and the refrigerator and freezer temperatures were too warm - everything had to be thrown out. I thawed out the coil with a heat gun and it is working again, but I thought the defrost module had gone out so bought a replacement immediately. These thermometers are great, because you can easily tell if something is wrong with your refrigerator if you look at them every day after the refrigerator has been shut all night. They are very responsive to temperature changes, so if people have been in the fridge before you, they will read high. I suggest looking at them daily the first thing in the morning. You will be able to tell the fridge is working normally, because the temperature will creep up over time, and then the next day you look at it and it has gone down significantly. This means your defrost circuit ran a cycle and removed the built-up frost from the coils. You will see both the freezer and refrigerator temps cycle up and down, and begin to 'know your fridge'. When either one goes out of the safe zone, you know to closely monitor it and see if if goes back down. If not, you still have time to take corrective action before you lose everything in your fridge and freezer. The only down side is their size - they take up some shelf space, but can also be hung if you have a wire shelf with left-to-right rungs. Readability is great. Accuracy: ***** Readability: ***** Size: **** Value: *****

This has helped me keep my refrigerated food from freezing. It has also allowed me to discover that the temperature fluctuations I'm experiencing with my new apartment frig are because the frig doesn't have much insullation at all. Solid thermostat. Decent price.

Simple as it gets, easy to read, affordable, seems accurate. It shows my freezers coldness status as basic "working as designed" level of cold. I have 2 old Frigidaire chest freezers that are each 3.5 feet high and 2 X 3 foot lid size. With this thermometer in the middle back of the freezer (half way vertically from the top) "Freezer One" is at 0 degrees Fahrenheit and "Freezer Two" is at 2 degrees above zero. My understanding is that Zero degrees is the norm. You can get some home consumer freezers (usually chest type) down to -4 F and sometimes even -20 F in some brands. Consumer home units are not always clear on if they will go the extra mile colder. I have read that "Frost free" freezers "heat up" and refreeze something like 4 or 5 times a day. I learned this from reading up on refrigeration online - I am not a professional, just a concerned consumer who has been trying to educate himself. YMMV. OPTIONAL DIGRESSION / THIS CAN BE BORING - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! A freezer that gets to -4 or lower is desirable in reducing the survivability of hookworms / roundworms / tapeworms in various fish (examples: cod, Salmon, halibut). I have read safety suggestions to leave the fish at -4 or below for a full week. That and heating the fish meat to 140 degrees F (for a piece less than 6 inches in thickness) kills parasites or... makes them so disabled / dopey that they wont survive your stomach acid. I've never had an infection but after reading about it, I want to make sure any parasite critters in my foods are dead. If you can be * sure * your fish was flash deep frozen then most likely you don't need to worry about this aside from cooking the fish sufficiently. I have retained my current freezers due to interia (i.e. dreading the upheaval of replacing them, the whole swap out), it will probably be a spring cleaning "project". I am considering getting a "True" brand freezer which, from what I can tell, is a semi-pro grade (i.e. not laboratory grade but more solidily engineered than consumer) freezer that can get down to at least -4 F and possibly further. Back to the Rubbermaid thermometer: For what I paid, I am pleased with it. it is LOW hassle and durable. I also recently purchased a digital Freezer thermometer from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HO4VZRQ/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_8. I'm sure the digital will be more hassle / loseable / breakable. It may be more accurate. I will report back on how closely the two thermometer types compare down the road.

I bought these after the first set I bought was over 10 degrees different between the two. When I received the i tested these in the fridge and freezer there was only 1 degree different between them.

Appears to be accurate. Its well made. easy to read and easy to find a place to hang or stand it in the regrigerator or freezer. I recommend it.

ممتاز

Compre 2 uno para el refri y otro para el congelador y dan lecturas mas precisas que otro que tenia antes
