Taylor Professional Freezer-Refrigerator Thermometer with 3-Inch Dial Review

Let me preface this by saying that at $4.40 there isn't much risk in buying this thermometer.Given Amazon's great customer service I'm sure I can return it but it's not really worth sending it back.I've read the previous comments and 5-star ratings and I'm left wondering if anyone else checked the accuracy before commenting.I checked it out at with accurate digital and analog thermometers at room temperature of 68 degrees, at refrigerator temperature of 36 degrees, and at a freezer temperature of-2 degrees.In all cases I found the Taylor Professional Freezer-Refrigerator Thermometer to read 3 degrees lower than actual temperature.There does not seem to be any way to adjust the dial with the exception of taking it apart and moving the faceplate (not sure if that is possible without breaking it).I gave it only one star for just this reason; that you cannot calibrate the unit for error, not for the inaccuracy itself.

It does have a big dial and is easy to read but I think at the critical temperature of a refrigerator it is important to be accurate.I realize there may be many people who do not have the equipment to check out the accuracy as I do, but there is a significant difference in storing food at 37 degrees F rather than at 40.

So if you're agreeable to mentally normalizing the temp (as I will do) when you read it, I suppose you'd be satisfied with it given it's low cost.That last statement presupposes that the one you buy has the same inaccuracy as mine.Who knows, the one you get might be "right on" but how would you know that without calibrating it?
