Rec your thermometer!

[mayflowers]

So this probably seems like a silly request, but I've now gone through 2 thermometers that are totally inaccurate and either read low all the time or vary by as much as 2 degrees within a minute. Do any of you have a thermometer you recommend?

Thanks

I've used the Mabis for 14 cycles with no issue. Purchased on Amazon for less than 10 bucks!

Mine is the Rite Aid brand because it was super duper cheap. It hasn't given me any problems!

I feel at this point we need a sticky for just thermometer. We get this thread every three months or so.

Now that you mention it, someone did add the massive GTKY temping thread link to the newbie blog post that's stickied at the top.

OP, that is a great resource too if you want to see a bunch of temping info, including thermometer brands!

This one is crazy expensive but it works well for me and their customer service is great

I use Mabis as well. I've been using it for over 2 years and never had a problem with it. I got it at Walmart for around $8.

Stay away from the Target brand (Up & Up) BBT. It's garbage.

+1 for the Mabis. Got mine on Amazon and seemed to work very well.

I tried one from our local drugstore but it literally seemed to eat the batteries. After changing the batteries twice in a few months I got a mabis.

Another Mabis user here! Bought mine cheap on Amazon and it does what it needs to do.

That thermometer better double as a sex toy for that price. You cray!!

I've had a mabis for over a year and half with no issues.

I am a big fan of the CVS brand BBT thermometer. It's got a recall feature that comes in handy.

I have the Mabis too. I have used it for a little over 6 months, and I haven't had any problems with it. I wish it was backlit like nuggetrn's BBT. I can't remember what kind it is though. Hopefully she will write a post here and tell you what it is.

you crack me up. My BBT is so popular. Lol. I don't think I have actually conviced anyone to buy it yet though.

I have this thermometer.

It lights up. So... Press button, take temp, then remove and hold button down and your temp shows up. It also stores 10 temps for you. It is pricier than a lot of the other BBTs but not crazy. 19.98 on Amazon right now. This one has been going strong for about a year now.

I've been eyeing this BBT for awhile now lol.

[onesweetworld]

I use the Mabis. I hate how long it takes. I haven't used it in months because it annoys me but I started again this morning.

I have this one.  I love that it lights up and stores temps.  Only downside is that is seems super slow compared to the one I used before.

Yea it does sometimes take forever... Other times I feel like it beeps super quick. I don't know what the trick is.

Is it sad that I don't actually remember what brand mine is?
