Title: Probe thermometer
Post by: jackflash on September 24, 2015, 01:52:06 PM
Just bought two of these on aliexpress. Sick of my laser-thermomether giving me dodgy read-outs!

And you reckon these will be much better?
Make sure you do a calibration check on these Ive seen thermometers like this reading 5+ degrees off.
You gets what you pay for at the end of the day.

 This (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00N172OBC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00) - is as cheap as you should be going looking for a thermometer

Here's a review (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00N172OBC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00) of the CDN comparing it to the much more expensive Thermopen

I thought that would be the case, but it's only costing 2 quid to find out. I can get my hands on a pharma-grade digital thermometer to check it against, so time will tell.
