TempPro TempSwift 0.5 Sec Instant Read Meat Thermometer Digital | Cooking Thermometer with Backlit Display, Pop-Up Meat Probe, Food Thermometer for Grill BBQ Smoker Fry Candy, NSF Certified

I got this thermometer specifically because it uses AAA batteries, while many other thermometers use disposable button batteries. I have a ton of rechargeables on hand, some of which have been in use for 10+ years, which is a lot more convenient and environment friendly than stocking disposable batteries, so I prefer using rechargeable AAAs. The thermometer itself is great, seems to be pretty accurate to within 1°, and I've been using mine for about 2 years now and it's still going strong. Love the magnets on the back as it allows me to just stick the thermometer on the vent hood above the stove for quick access, and the large LCD display is very bright and easy to read. It does however have one design flaw: When the thermometer detects a low battery, it replaces your temperature reading on the display with "Lo". This becomes very obnoxious because it takes a few seconds for it to return to your temp reading. The "Lo" will continue to replace your reading every several seconds, making the product tedious to use until you replace the battery. This would not be a problem if the "Lo" only appeared when the batteries are ACTUALLY low, but the problem is that they seem to have designed this with only 1.5v AAAs in mind and clearly did not test it with common 1.2v NiMH rechargeable batteries, which is mind boggling. Even when you put in fully charged NiMH batteries, it will still detect it as a low battery, and obnoxiously replace your temperature reading with "Lo" every few seconds. The thermometer itself has no issue running on 1.2v NiMH rechargeables, but it's practically unusable due to the temperature readout constantly being replaced with "Lo". Fortunately, 1.5v Li-Ion AAA rechargeable batteries are a thing, so I started using these instead and the "Lo" problem disappeared. ThermoPro, if you ever read this, maybe make your products compatible with 1.2v rechargeables, or make a low battery indicator off to the side which does not interfere with the temperature reading.

I am probably a bit embarrassed at how much time I spent on the internet researching which replacement cooking thermometer after the good one we had for a decade, unfortunately finally gave up the ghost during our Christmas holiday cooking season. I settled on this one based on its posted specifications and customer reviews. It is slightly larger than our former cooking thermometer, but this is probably so in order to accommodate its nice, large temperature display which is a welcome upgrade to our old, formerly reliable thermometer. You can take the temperature with the probe bent which was handy the other day while reaching through the oven shelves, and the function is very intuitive - just hold in the power button to turn it off, though it states in the owners manual that it will shut off by itself after a reasonable period if you forget to push & hold the power button. Finally, it looks classy and the red LED characters stand out nicely in our bright kitchen lights.

Just received this thermometer which I purchased as a gift. I purchased a thermometer from the same manufacturer a couple of years ago that I really like. It provides extremely quick temperatures and is great for the barbequing I do. It costs over $100 and I am completely happy with the cost considering how much it helps with cooking things perfectly. I agree that cooking without a great thermometer is like driving without a speedometer. You know you are moving and have an idea of how fast you are going but you aren't really sure. I was shocked to see that this $20 thermometer is just as good as the $100 thermometer I bought a while ago except the device itself is superior in construction. It has magnets so it holds to metal. It is smaller and feels better in the hand. Even with its small form, it has a large enough display that is readable for me without reading glasses (I'm in my 60's so almost everything needs reading glasses these days). It is built very well and works great. I was quite surprised at the quality given the low cost.

I don't like to write poor reviews, especially when I don't feel wronged in some way, but I am not a fan of this product. Once you get it going it seems to work well and give good, legible and accurate (It seems.. haven't done instrument tests or anything) temperature readings, but the rest just doesn't come together well. I wonder how well they tested these. Like others have said, the batter lid comes off far too easy. Once you know this, it's not hard to handle it in a way that'll keep it from slipping off, but who wants to have to do that? Also, the touch buttons are annoying. They don't seem to work consistently, requiring touches of various lengths. Also, it's either far to easy to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius, or it keeps switching to Celsius on it's own. Great for the rest of the work I suppose, inconvenient in the US :) Having to switch it back multiple times, which requires a long-touch, during the same cook gets old immediately.. Benjamin Button style. Bottom line, I will not be waiting for it to break or get lost before replacing it. I'm actually shopping for a better one right now, which prompted me to write this review. Update: i-Tronics reached out to tell me that they've updated and upgraded their design, and offered to send me one! We will see how it is when it gets here, but credit where credit is due... this is exactly how a good company should respond to criticism. Good on them! Couldn't ask for more from a customer service standpoint. Update 2: The new improved version is definitely improved. The battery compartment stays shut, and the buttons were relocated and given a locking feature that helps prevent changing to Celsius/Fahrenheit inadvertently. Good job folks!

Accurate and easy to use.

This thing has been through the wringer and still works great. It has been through several battery changes and getting dropped in the deep fryer. Only complaint is that the magnets came loose from the back of it, but I feel like it has earned that for working great for over 6 years

Great thermometer fast reading I work in a professional kitchen and it's the best one I've had so far even survives being overheated on top of an oven

This is the second time I have purchased this thermometer. I believe I had the first one for over year before I broke it (I accidentally dropped it in the sink full of water and didn’t notice until the next day). It simple and easy to use. I like the magnets on the side. I keep it on the side of my microwave so it’s always handy

If you have ever stood over a blazing hot grill or smoker waiting forever for a cheap dial thermometer to register a reading, you know how painful that delay can be. The TempPro TP18 (formerly under the ThermoPro banner) completely eliminates the guesswork and keeps your hands out of the heat with serious commercial-grade speed. The Breakdown Instantaneous Readings: Thanks to the advanced thermocouple sensor, this thing clocks a precise temperature in just 2 to 3 seconds flat. When you're checking fast-cooking steaks or delicate fish, that speed is an absolute game-changer. Smart Design Quirks: The built-in lock function is a feature you didn't know you needed. You can insert the probe, hit lock, and pull it away to read the screen safely away from the smoke and flames. Built for the Back Deck: The massive, bright LED backlit display is incredibly easy to read during evening barbecue sessions. Plus, the magnetic back means it lives right on the side of the fridge or smoker shelf so it's never lost in a drawer. The Verdict The TempPro TP18 is a masterclass in kitchen utility. It takes the ultra-fast thermocouple technology usually reserved for high-end restaurant kitchens and packs it into an affordable, rugged, and highly dependable tool. If you take your grilling, smoking, or deep-frying seriously, this belongs in your apron pocket. Highly recommended!
