dont waste your money on that first one especially. I have one and hate that thing. It was 24 bucks for me...which is already too much for a thermometer (for me anyways

) but then it always dies....then there's the fact that 1 minute it will show 75 degrees, then 20 minutes later it says 99 degrees?

Its always jumping around right by 83 or so too, so i never really know what the temp is.

I've been using this one for a while now and i've got several. They're cheaper and they always get a more accurate reading than that other one and i havent had one die yet.

I like that.. To go along with your $23 thermometer, why not consider buying this $1300 chiller!!!

Oh I see what you mean...Hahaha, yeah I guess they are just trying to get a few "add on" sales!

lol ya isnt that the other way around usually? They try to nickel and dime you when you buy something big...not...thousand dollar you when you buy something small lol.

And i also see that they recommend another thermometer with this one...if you're already buying that one, why would you need the other one? lol. I mean i know its good to have 2 of them, like one on each end or whatever, but why not just the same ones? idk
