Digital Freezer/Fridge Thermometer with Magnet and Stander, LED Alarm Indicator, Max/Min Freezer Thermometer for Kitchen Home

Having had two incidences of the freezer door being left ajar in one week, and nearly loosing the contents (not to mention the massive PITA of defrosting it all, etc, I decide to look for a freezer alarm. Its and integrated fridge/freezer, and the fridge already has this feature.. bizarre the freezer doesnt.. anyway... So, I needed a digital thermometer with an external probe (batteries dont work very well when frozen, so the electronics have to be on the outside). I read some good reviews of this item, and some bad reviews. The biggest themes were "its not accurate enough" and "I want the temperature inside my fridge, why do I have to use the OUT setting". I wasnt put off by the bad reviews for the following reasons : 1. My freezer should be at -20^C, and if it is at -5^C its warming up, and thats a problem. Even if the thermometer was out by 5^C, setting an alarm at -10^C would work.. as the temperature would be between -10^c and -5^c... both of which are a problem. I dont need a precise measure of the temperature, just a warning that it is climbing. 2. The thermometer is actually TWO thermometers... one is on the INSIDE of the unit, and one is OUTSIDE on the plug in probe. Most folk use these for measuring the temperature INside their house, and OUTside their house, hence the probe setting for the freezer is the OUT setting. Not too hard to comprehend. I ordered 9pm, and it arrived lunchtime the next day. Staggering, thanks Amazon! Its fairly self explanatory, pretty similar to most other battery powered gadgets.. OPen the battery door and remove the tab to activate. Plugged the probe in, there was only one place it would go on the bottom left side.. so cant really get that wrong. Ont he back is a button to flip between ^C/^F... pretty straight forward. The only bit I needed to refer to the "manual" for was setting the alarm. This could have been worded better, and a simple diagram would have helped. The basic idea is there are two modes... you're either setting a range for the alarm to trigger if it is within a range (for example, above 5^C, and below 10^C), or outside a range (for example below 5^C or above 10^C)... once that is clear, the poor description makes sense, and its pretty easy to set up. Mine was all up and running in under 10 minutes. Probably the best £12 of the year so far, as it is protecting £100's worth of food, and saving me the hassle of another defrost. The alarm is plenty loud enough too... I wouldn't hesitate to buy again, or recommend.

Does the job

I bought two of these in September 2022, one for my fridge section and one for the freezer section, following a freezer failure. Until now they have behaved perfectly, then yesterday the one monitoring the fridge started displaying -35 degrees which I knew was false as the fridge wasn't frozen up. Today the display disappeared altogether so I inserted a fresh battery, but that didn't help, the display remained blank. So I am ordering a new one. Overall I am happy with these units, as 3 years of constant use before failure doesn't seem too bad these days. Although it does lose one star because of this.

A standard electronic thermometer, with an internal sensor and an external one/thermocouple on the end of a small cable (which is placed in the fridge or freezer - or through the window to check outdoor temperature). Set up was straight forward. The device has two small magnets on the back and an alternative small stand. It does not have a recess to attach to a pin/nail on the wall. Temperature range alarms can be set if desired.

Very pleased with this, I suspected my fridge thermostat was playing up and this proved it was and to what degree. Pretty easy to use and can record the min and max temperatures and also has an alarm you can set at hot and cold trigger points. It was slightly confusing with it's inside/outside terminology if you're using it on a fridge/freezer - "inside" being the unit temperature (the room temperature) and "outside" meaning the probe which you put inside your fridge. I guess the names are more appropriate if the unit is inside and the probe is used to measure the temperature outside your house, but that's not really how the product is sold, which is as a fridge/freezer thermometer.

Product was used to monitor the internal temperature of a chest freezer that was giving problems. For the three months it lasted it was very useful. Very clear readout, the magnetic feature of the device allowed it to be attached to the front of the freezer which was convenient and switching from the ambient readout to the freezer readout was simple. However that is the end of the good news. Despite ‘hopefully’ inserting a new battery the device has now failed completely after what I consider to be a brief period of use . Hence my 1 star rating!

Bought this thermometer as I kept thinking that our venerable old chest freezer can’t keep plodding on forever (It must be at least 35+, possibly 40 years old !) Ironically within 3 days of installation, during which time the temperature was a steady minus 18-19C as it should be; suddenly it shot to -13C overnight. Still works on boost mode, but unfortunately looks like the thermostat may have packed in. I know I probably should have replaced it years ago, but it would be like sending your Grandma off to be recycled. Looks like the sad day has come to say goodbye old friend, but at least this little gadget has saved many pounds worth of food being spoiled. Only complaint is the instructions are pretty rubbish and you have to work out setting the alarm limits yourself, but otherwise recommended!

Great little gadget...but others are right - the instructions aren't great. It's actually easy to set up, I just think the wording is a little convoluted. Also comes with a battery! We're keeping an eye on our chest freezer and it's doing the job!

Funktioniert einwandfrei....super Kauf

Impossible de régler ce thermomètre tellement c'est compliqué, et en plus pas d'explications en français.

Facile installazione posizionare lo strumento al di fuori del freezer, frigorifero o apparecchiatura per la quale si vuole tenere sotto controlla la temperatura e mettere la sonda all'interno. Freezer inserire la sonda e posizionare su una piccola staffa lo strumento in modo da poter sempre essere a conoscenza della temperatura interna, impostare la temperatura minima al di sotto del (range in questo caso il freezer è impostato fra i -20° e -25°), quindi imposto a -19°, se la temperatura scende al di sotto della soglia minima -20°, lampeggia una luce rossa ed emette un segnale acustico. Il prodotto è semplice e non funziona WI-FI, nemmeno in altro modo digitale, ma semplicemente può essere monitorato dalla persona in prossimità dell'apparecchiatura da controllare.

Buen producto

1回目使うときはきちんと作動しましたが、３か月後、２回目使うときはOUTの温度がきちんと表示されず壊れていました。 ちなみに使用しないときは電池を抜いていました。壊れるのが早すぎます。前回購入した時もすぐに壊れ、今回もです。 返品交換は１か月のようなので、間に合わず・・・今後の購入は考えられません。残念です。
