Good Quality, fast read Feb 19, 2010
Well constructed gives quick readings. I bought this one as a gift, I have had one for over a year with no problems.
 underwhelming if not annoying Feb 18, 2010
i had high-hopes for this digital thermometer and it seems tough going to get a decent product in the same price range for some reason or another.
in this case the 'final reading' just takes too long to stabilize and is frustrating. my guess is that a decent analog thermometer would at least take away the agony of watching the digital readout walk through a few dozens updates, from 96 to 98 ... to 110 to 112 .. to 140 to 145 ... to 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, ... 166 ........ 167... 166 ... 166 ... 165... etc.
if i had any idea it would perform like this i would not have purchased it, though will only use it seldom and cannot afford a better quality digital instrument. in particular 'instant read' cooking thermometers - why oh why is it so hard to figure out? the reliable cooking thermometer remains an enigma for me as a result. no better options were found available, yet this is on the verge of insufficient.
rating it with 3 stars would be generous as to me this equates to 'average' and i'd say this is below that in terms of its particular effectiveness at what it is made and designed to do firstly: get a temperature reading. it is all too ambiguous. and it simply must be possible to achieve a quicker stable temperature reading by using if designing a more advanced chip to make it possible. then it would be great. until then it is not. it is not even good. it is just okay. not even that. less than okay. yet it is all there is. etc. etc. etc. until it is upgraded. etc.
 great product Feb 14, 2010
I was amazed at how handy this is going to be.
I used it the same day I got it and was thrilled.
Dandy little device Jan 27, 2010
This is one of those things that you might think you will never need and now you can't live without. I use it every day and it makes life easier and prevents food products from becoming over or under cooked. It reads instantly and has a wide temperature range. It can fit like a pen in a pocket. The gauge is easy to read and has different settings. The price is great on this model as well and I believe Taylor is a long established company.
I've had mine for over 5 years Jan 17, 2010
I actually have the Taylor 9840. It is the prior version, which has a manual on/off switch and works only in F (US temp).
The addition of the auto off feature is great. The Taylor 9842 (the one listed on Amazon.com) will automatically shut off if the unit is not used for 10 minutes. This is a very nice addition.
My prior version, the Taylor 9840, is not water proof. The water can leak in through the on/off switch and at other places. However, I snapped it apart at the middle seam, allowed it to dry, and it works fine again. As simple as changing the battery***.
These thermometers are simple to use and accurate. Can't ask for more.
Just be very careful when washing and don't wash it in the dishwasher. The unit to too fragile to survive.
***The batteries are replaced on the Taylor 9840 differently than on the 9842, so you will not be able to snap the 9842 apart like I do on the older unit.
