Summary: Great product when properly calibrated
Comment: Well, I'm semi-happy with my purchase. I bought two of these items because they were cheap compared with the shipping cost. Luckly, one of them registers the "correct" temperature with the other being something like 3~5 deg too low (depending on ambient temperature checked by a high-end digital thermometer).

The product works perfectly and offers excellent visibility and is a snap to install.

I'm just not happy with the product variability. No point in having a thermometer that's not particularly accurate!

Summary: Cute, but unfaithful
Comment: This thermometer is a really clever idea, and looks good. Unfortunately its readings are suspect.

I had one of these on a window for a couple of years and occasionally checked the temperature by glancing at it. Recently I noticed that the pointer only moved about 10 degrees over much wider temperature ranges, so I bought a new one.

Actually, I bought three of these thermometers because they just "felt" like a good idea.

Upon arrival, I noticed that they all displayed different temperatures straight out of the shipping box, so I set up a little calibration experiment using a long stem dial thermometer that reads 32.5 F in melting ice. With all four thermometers stuck to the same window and out of the sun, one of the thermometers was 5 degrees high over a five day period, the second one was three degrees low, and the third one was usually within plus or minus 2 degrees of the calibration thermometer.

Conclusion: If you stick all three thermometers to window, they will read within eight degrees of one another, but one of them will be within 2 degrees of being right. You just have to figure out which one to believe.

Summary: Great thermometer for aging eyes
Comment: We looked high and low locally for this thermometer and couldn't find it. My 80 year old mother loves the large numbers and the fact that she can see the temp before she walks the dog.
