Taylor Springfield Freezer and Refrigerator Thermometer

I like the way it looks and all that but it's not for every refrigerator. The suction cups don't allow you to hang it on the side to make viewing easy and if your fridge doesn't have a way to place the stainless hangers then it's not the right one for you. I have no idea what happened to the older one I had in the fridge already but this will suffice. Probably just lay it on a shelf and be done with it until it goes and joins then last one. Seems accurate to me and that's really all I care about. Recommended.Update!Ah Ha! Forget using the suction cups on this one! Major fail if ever. The good side is that it fell off into the veggie bin and I found the old thermometer that I replaced before! The new one is large enough to see when it falls off, and if you use the suctions cups it's going to drop, trust me. However having fallen it allowed me to locate the old one hiding under some celery stalks, carrots and the odd bits of hearts of Romaine!So in a way it was a great buy and I shall use it in the freezer part now. (I never check the temperature in that section anyway)I shall now award it another star for search and rescue work if nothing else.

I never expected the suction cups to work so I threw them out without even trying them. This can easily be hung on the back wall of the door bins, or if that doesn't work due to bin/fridge design, you can simply bend the steel prongs on the back outward so that they act like feet. It doesn't constantly fall over this way. This works great for my purposes of comparing temps while switching from old to new fridge. The one I received looks to be accurate to within one degree but be aware that according to Taylor, + or - 4 degrees is acceptable tolerance. I disagree but prefer a fridge set at a maximum of 37 anyway which would still keep food safe even with the variance mentioned above. If you don't have electronic temp settings on your fridge and/or need dead accurate readings, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

After a repair call to replace the ice-maker in my 4 year old refrigerator by an authorized repairman, I didn't reset the door alarm which led to a concern when all of a sudden the temperature dropped to almost room temperature. After cleaning the seals and re-activating the door alarm, problem solved. There's temperature settings on the ice-maker control panel but they do not tell the consumer what the temp is inside the box.The display contrast on this Taylor is perfect, easy to see at a glance. The suction cups for attachment were a concern at purchase but after a few months they have proven themselves to be stable. I had no idea there were varying temperature pockets inside the fridge until I put this thermometer into play. Also, I see these devices to be a good indicator of seal health. A moderate rise in temperatures means it's time to get the mild soap and water out.Will purchase two more for the freezer drawers soon. A definite recommend!

I didn't really expect the suction cups to work. But the thermometer works and tells you what most refrigerators really should tell you but won't. Also, the temp range is high enough to use outside the fridge.I had suspected that my fridge wasn't cooling the main section well enough, and the thermometer confirmed it. I had the fridge set to coldest, but I couldn't get below 40F until I set the freezer section to warmest. Perhaps this is because of "Energy Saver" regulations. Now the fridge oscillates in the low 30's, and my food very clearly is being kept much colder.Don't get food poisoning; put a thermometer in your fridge!

We got one for the freezer and one for the fridge. I had to hang the fridge one off of the door pockets it wouldn't stick anywhere I put it. The freezer one doesn't stick either so it just lays around in the freezer. I don't really think there is any way they could have made them better because its hard to stick things to a damp cold surface. The thermometers work well and make me feel better, so I cannot complain at all really that they don't stick. Seriously if you want them to stick you will have to find a glue that will work in a freezer/fridge.

After considering soooo many reviews on all the low cost refrigerator/freezer thermometers available on Amazon, I bought what seemed to be the 2 best. The other one purchased is the CDN FG80 NSF Professional.Both were placed at the same time, side by side, and left undisturbed for the same length of time (12 to 24 hours) before reading. They were placed in 3 locations: in both the refrigerator and freezer sections of a side-by-side refrigerator and in a small beverage fridge that does not have a freezer compartment.BOTH registered the same temperature during each comparison.And both showed the same temperature sitting on the counter as the room's thermostat.I appreciated that there indicators of the safety zones for food.Overall this is small in size and I had to use reading glasses to see the markings but I use them for everything.

Its accurate but the suction cups wont work and the clips hang to the side since the wire racks go from front to back and not side to side. If the wire racks went side to side then it would hang and be out of the way of the food and I could open the door and read it with no problem. Everything else was great....shipping and packaging, I just should have chosen a different type.

as it's only a seven dollar thermometer...at the same time, let's remember that some people don't make that much after a day's worth of labor...Oh my gosh!!! the suction cups don't always stick to the inside of the fridge. so instead of looking for the next bridge to jump off, I've decided to get on with my life.works. my food's cold enough now.
