I can't begin to tell you the abuse I've subjected this product to.

1Used it on my RV. Probe was outside from freezing to desert for 6000 miles.

2Took it up to Alaska and back, 15,000 miles.

3Used it to determine the temp. of my developing solution (very caustic chemicals).

4Now it's being pecked by chickens in my brooder.

I seem to never replace batteries in this. I can only remember doing it twice in 6 years.

Buy this product. Have no worries. It truly is a 5-star product.

2012 Update: Still works in my classroom. I think, after the nuclear armageddon, it will be the only piece of tech surviving.

After reading a ton of reviews, I decided all of the moderately priced digital thermometers had flaws so I went with the brand that overall seemed well rated (Oregon Scientific). I also read that remote sensors were problematic so I chose this model because it uses an attached (wired) sensor. I am delighted with the performance of this model. I followed the instructions and placed the outdoor sensor in a protected location (the wire fits easily under my window (even with it locked for the winter). I've checked the indoor temp against my thermostat and it is within a few tenths of a degree. I've checked the outdoor temp against weather.com and the local radio station and it is also within tenths of a degree. That's accurate enough for me! I love having the clock too and the back-lighting comes in handy during the winter when it is dark in the morning. If you have a nearby window to run the wire through, you really can't go wrong with this thermometer.

This does what you want it to. Accurately tells the temp indoor and outside and refreshes itself about every 30 seconds. What more could you ask for? Theres also a blue backlight so you can press any button during the nightime. It also functions as a clock with an Alarm but I dont use it.

Honest reviews on Oregon Scientific THT312 Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer Clock

I bought this to monitor the evening outdoor temperature. When it finally cools off enough outside, I turn the air conditioner off and run just the fan on fresh air. This was simple to set up and seems to work flawlessly. I like that a change in temperature registers very quickly in tenths of a degree.

The Oregon Scientific Thermometer and Clock is incredibly durable. I bought it from Targét 5 years ago and it still works as well as the day I bought it!

The LCD display is large enough so that it can be easily read from about 15' away. It has a backlight that you can turn on with the push of a button, which is conveniently located in front of the unit. The LCD screen has three lines for:

1) Time

2) Indoor Temperature

3) Outdoor Temperature

The unit has a 10' long probe for monitoring outdoor temperature (or the temperature of the location where you chose to place the probe).

Features

--------

Maximum / Minimum Temperature

The readings don't show the max/min temperature for the day. It only shows the max/min temperature *since these readings have been last reset*.

The Maximum / Minimum Temperature reading can be accessed with the right-most button on the front of the unit.

> When the button is pressed, lines (2) and (3) display the Maximum Indoor Temperature and Maximum Outdoor Temperature, respectively.

> Press the button a second time to access the Minimum Indoor Temperature and Minimum Outdoor Temperature.

> Press the button a third time to revert the display for lines (2) and (3) to the Indoor Temperature and Outdoor Temperature, respectively.

> Press and Hold the button to reset both the Maximum and the Minimum Temperatures.

Alarm

The alarm is a little soft and chimes for just a minute. The time of the alarm can be accessed with the left-most button.

Backlight

The backlight is bright and makes the LCD display easy to read in the dark or in dim lighting. The backlight can be accessed with the button in the middle.

Degree F or Degree C
