TaylorPrecision 5630 6" Dial Thermometer

Easy to install, easy to read as the readers digest large print size is awesome.A good value at under $10 ... who needs one with a clock, if the suns up, it's time to see how hot it is!This Taylor Precision 5630 6" Dial Thermometer is a great option, especially for us AZ folks who want to know why our skin is melting!!!

I bought this one to replace one my father bought about a decade ago for our wood-heat-only homestead in an appalachian hollow where microclimates can change our temperature dramatically from the rest of our region.The old one usually reads within 5 degrees of the brand new one.It's super easy to read and see through my living room window, and I personally think the design is quaint and attractive.The arm on this one keeps it locked in place where the old model spins when the wind blows, so I like that a lot.When the sun hits it directly, the temperature is completely inaccurate, so try to find a nice shady spot without reflective surfaces close by that might cause false readings.Most importantly, after ten years and some hard knocks, the old model is still quite functional, so these little gadgets are fantastic for long term use even when exposed to the elements!

Not the most accurate, but for the money it's close enough.

Poorly constructed and inaccurate

Excellent

This thermometer is simple to install outside a window and large enough to read easily before I put my glasses on in the morning. It answers the daily question of how many layers I'll need to wear in the morning because Florida weather swings 20-30 degrees (F) during the day. Just above 60 degrees that's one layer to hold me until the sun is up. Between 40-60 degrees it's two layers because I'll still need one for the mid-morning coffee run.If the AM temperature is over 80, there's a second layer to change into later because I'll want a lighter, dryer outfit when I get off work. I sometimes miss living "up north" where the temperature swings are smaller, but I don't miss temperatures below 20 degrees!

Does not display the proper temperature.

works great! easy to read
