"I like this."

I have kept aquariums for about 45 years. For something so cheap, they are working remarkably well. So the extra units will always come in handy. One of my aquariums is glass, and the other two are plastic. It works equally well on all of them. Personally I do not mind the way it looks in my aquarium. My only complaint is that they tend to be a one time use.

"7 reading."

The lid is textured aluminum, and the suction cups don't stick to that. This company is taking the long term view of how to do business right. 2 deg, if it was 32, it would be a SOLID block of ice. I recommend gluing the suction cups in place where needed for long-term installation. Now I'm getting back in on a much smaller scale with 3 gallon Acrylic Nano tanks. For the price I'll probably end up putting these in all of my aquariums. All were Close enough for a fish tank and other uses.

"Great product!"

89 I could buy Six Thermometers with Six included batteries. He was moving slow in the winter and we realized he needed a heater! And I just really started to doubt it.

"Changed to 5-stars now."

The extra batteries where very much appreciated and came in handy. All are pretty accurate within one degree as claimed. For the price I'll probably end up putting these in all of my aquariums. One being a very expensive digital. This company is taking the long term view of how to do business right. The digital display itself is easy to read at a glance. I just wrote it off as a minor loss.

"I placed it on the side."

I find that the temps are accurate, and this product gives added peace of mind. So much so that I purchased a second set of 6. Now I'm getting back in on a much smaller scale with 3 gallon Acrylic Nano tanks. This thermometer is spot on accurate. Very accurate, have checked it with other thermometers as well. So this is the extreme end of the high temperature range. When I set up my newest tank I will be getting another one of these.

"These are great!"

So, in those cases, I find it easier to simply replace it. I was using one of those ubiquitous cheap digital thermometers on Amazon. Ambient room temperature measures 72. I guess these units do not like saltwater. The extra batteries where very much appreciated and came in handy. I have it in both my aquariums now.

"Would buy again."

I find that the temps are accurate, and this product gives added peace of mind. Still a recommendation for me due to price and accuracy. Works well in my betta tank, but provide a couple hours for it to read temp changes. Simple fix, you adjust the thermometer within the suction cup and VIOLA! I needed a solution that was not breakable and these do the trick! I tested this in a cup crammed full of ice and some water. Ambient room temperature measures 72.

"This is perfect."

I got the second one as a bonus that I'm now using in my old tank. Have checked them against the glass thermometers and the accuracy is right on. 50 thermometers, reads much easier and no suction cup residue, also looks better. So much so that I purchased a second set of 6. Far more accurate than the usual small glass ones or external LCD strips. All are pretty accurate within one degree as claimed. Personally I do not mind the way it looks in my aquarium.
