RT801 Digital Fridge/Freezer Alarm Thermometer by ThermoWorks Review

We purchased this because our teenagers would sometimes not get our upright freezer door closed and the items in the door (usually ice cream) would melt and create a huge mess.We purchased this so that if the door was not completely closed it would alert us with an alarm.So far this hasn't happened, however, when putting groceries up and having the door open longer than usual the alarm does go off until the correct temperature range is achieved.We placed the probe on the top shelf of the door closer to the hinged side and placed the unit on top of the freezer so that the wire wouldn't get tangled when placing items in the freezer.So far it seems to work well.

Refrigerator/Freezer Thermometer w/Alarm (-50°c-70°C) () Review

Got one of these a few years back as we had a couple of experiences with the basement refrigerator door left ajar and later failure (no alarm feature).Have been very happy with it, except that the alarm is not very loud.Seems to be a common comment on other alarm thermometers.

One feature that pulls me to this particular model (besides matching the one I already have) is the "buffered" probe.The bottle of glycol averages the temperature measurements a bit so that short durations with the door open don't cause a spike and alarm.

The probe wire is small enough to not cause a problem of air/humidity leakage through magnetic door seals.

By the way, the description may not be clear: the alarm can be disabled via a slide switch on the back.

It is somewhat unfortunate that this is not offered as a dual fridge/freezer meter.

Am adding 3 of these to my wish list for upcoming birthday for additional fridge/freezers.

At the time of this review, I see the same thermometer on Amazon with 2 different brand names (VWR, Fisher Scientific) for sale by 3rd parties only.So the brand and sellers may change over time.If so, look for the probe in the green bottle and the "Traceable" label above the LCD display.Price is around $50.

Chaney Instrument Wireless Refrigerator & Freezer Thermometer, 00985 Review

We bought this set to monitor our new wine cellar. One of the two remote sensors works fine, the other was dead on arrival--installed multiple sets of batteries and the power light stayed off. While the concept is very good and the components feel solid, quality is apparently spotty. With the magnets on the back of the monitor, I put it on top of the cabinet, which works out well. I wanted a sensor on the top and another on the bottom shelves since the whites and desserts on the bottom should be cooler. The working sensor clipped securely onto the top wire rack.

I emailed the Amazon seller about the problem and was initially given the option of packing up and sending the whole set back for an exchange, or trying to get the manufacturer (Chaney) to replace the defective sensor. A few emails later and the seller volunteered to open a package and send me a replacement sensor. I am very impressed with this seller, DTMdirect, and would certainly buy from him (Don) again. His price was the best I found, packaging was very good, shipment was very fast, and his email responses were fast and cordial.

I'm not altogether happy with this product yet, since obviously the quality control needs improvement. Therefore I give 4 stars. If both sensors worked out of the box I may have given 5 stars. I do recommend this item and the seller.

CDN Audio Visual Refrigerator Freezer Alarm Review

The thermometer and probe seem to be well made but it didn't work very well with my upright freezer. As others mentioned, the alarm is not loud enough unless you're fairly close to the unit but the biggest problem is the probe wire.It is round, about 2 mm in diameter and my freezer door will not seal tightly around it.Within 2 days, my manual defrost freezer had a block of ice forming where the wire came through the seal due to humid air leakage.I've seen other units that use thinner flat wire which I suspect would work better.

Chaney Instrument 00985 Wireless Refrigerator Freezer Thermometer Alarm Set Review

We bought this alarm because we have young kids who love to be independent and help out by getting their own ice and food.Since our indoor freezer is a bottom pull-out, they can get into it easily.We also have an upright freezer in the garage.We had one week where a freezer was left open three times.This alarm has helped tremendously.

We are using both sensors in the two freezers.They come pre-programmed with min/max settings, one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer.It is very simple to change those settings though and the directions were clear.

I really like that it has a fifteen-minute delay before the alarm sounds.That is, the temperature has to be above the set point for 15 minutes before the alarm is triggered.That feature prevents false alarms when a 3-year old is having trouble deciding which ice cube is the perfect one for his juice.

I wish I had known that for freezer use you need to use lithium batteries (AA) as they work at lower temperatures versus alkaline.We didn't have any on hand and so had to wait to install the units.Extra trips to the store are a pain and I would have just ordered 4 (2 for ea) when I bought the unit if I had known.
