TempPro TempSwift 0.5 SEC Instant Read Meat Thermometer Digital

I do a lot of cooking and BBQing. this is perfect! I cook food to temperature for perfect doneness . The price was great as far as the value I get. Very easy to use, just open the probe up insert just past the tip and it give you temp very quickly. I'm old person and I can read the display very easy inside or outside.

This is exactly what i needed to replace the one I had. I love the fact this has normal batteries and not a special button battery. I highly recommend this item.

Easy to use, bright display and accurate temp

It seems absurd to spend $50, or even $100, on a meat thermometer. But if you want a good thermometer that works quickly and accurately, then the price is just a bullet you'll have to bite. I tested four meat thermometers: the Thermopro Lightning ($45), this one, the Thermopro TP620 ($30), the Thermopro TP19H ($15), and the Thermoworks ThermoPop 2 ($47). Some meat thermometers have some lag between the first displayed reading and the final accurate reading. With the TP19H, this lag is the most pronounced, as it takes between 10 and 20 seconds in many cases to reach an accurate reading. The TP620 and the ThermoPop 2, have less lag, but still take between 5 and 10 seconds to reach an accurate reading. The Thermopro Lightning, however, is a true instant-read thermometer, as it provides a fast initial reading, and the final accurate reading takes no more than two seconds to appear. The Lightning is the only one that I know that I can trust to quickly provide an accurate reading. I find this to be surprising given Thermoworks' reputation, but perhaps their Thermapen ONE, which I did not retest since it retails for $125, is what merits their reputation. For $45, however, the Thermoprop Lightning appears to be mightly close in performance to the much more expensive Thermoworks and is certainly better than the ThermoPop 2 that I tested. The ThermoPop doesn't even have a magnet or hook. All of these thermometers are waterproof under running water. I probably wouldn't put them in the dishwasher, however. The displays on all of these are fine, and I think that the Thermopro Lightning's display stands out quite well. If you're looking for a quality meat thermometer that will do exactly what you expect it to do, get the Lightning. At $30, the TP620 isn't meaningfully better than the cheapest option and leaves one wanting for a better performer. It's the worst of both worlds, even though it's by no means a bad thermometer. But if you can swing $15 more, get the Lightning. You'll be pleased.

Very happy with this Thermometer. Easy to read, east to clean & backlight is good

I bought this kitchen thermometer for my brother based on the ease of use and accuracy of the same model in my kitchen. He told me today that he thinks it will do a fine job, as soon as he puts a good battery in it. The battery packed with it was dead. The package was sealed so probably not a return.

Birthday gift for son. He's pleased with the thermometer

I just did a bbq fundraiser and bought it to cook brisket. Its performance was impeccable it was simple to use and the reading was fast and readable. Highly recommended for any grill masters!!

I bought this as a gift, as this was the specific one the person wanted. However, I own on that looks almost identical, and has identical functionality, for about 1/4 of the price. Both units read to within 0.1 degrees of each other (and forget what anyone on YouTube tells you: your steak does not need to be cooked to within 0.1 degrees). Summary: well made, nice display, probably not worth the price unless you simply want this particular unit.

Fonctionne très bien

Great instant-read thermometer. The temperature is displayed very quickly and accurately, and it’s easy to use. The screen is clear and easy to read, and the thermometer feels well made. Very practical for grilling and cooking. I’m very satisfied with it so far.

**** Update, August 2, 2024: Although my unit failed and I wrote this critical review, I've quickly had to change the review back to 5 stars. I really did love how the thermostat worked, but I couldn't in good conscience give it a good review if it wasn't reliable. After I checked that I couldn't do anything through Amazon, I contacted Thermapro directly. All I needed to do was register the product on their website and they automatically extended the warranty to 3 years. I then filed a claim and they sent me a brand new unit, which is a newer and more expensive model, and it has a 10 year warranty! Pretty good service. I don't believe something this expensive for a digital thermometer should be disposable, and I believe firmly that it should last a long time. I've had others last 10+ years. I purchased this unit and thoroughly enjoyed using it since November of 2022. Last week, July of 2024, it died. I replaced the batteries and it work for the day, but the next day, dead. Another new battery, it flashed ERR on the screen, shut off, now it's done. No display, no blinking, dead. I certainly expect my 50$ to go further than the less than two years that this lasted. I looked for a seller contact, but no luck. Bottom line, this works well when it works, but I see I am far from the first to note it's limited usable lifespan. Also note that it's not like I use it daily, I'm a home cook, so maybe weekly.

Nice quality but a little bit slow
