Springfield Big and Bold Thermometer with Mounting Bracket, Indoor Outdoor Thermometer, Easy to Read Numbers for Patio, Pool, and Indoor Areas, 5.25-Inch, White

I bought this to replace one I lost when my house was being painted. I'd had that outside of my kitchen window for 10+ years and it was always extremely accurate. I turned and angled it downward so that I could easily see the numbers. When I couldn't find that one, I bought a new one not realizing that it could only be connect flatly against a wall! Well, that didn't work so I searched and found this one. I'm a happy camper again! As fate would have it, I found my original one! I put that one outside my kitchen window we're ahead live for 10+ years. It's home now! I put this new one onto my shed outside. I can see the numbers from my bedroom window. I like that it stands away from the wall because it gets air flow for a more accurate reading. I put my flat one on my bedroom wall! I had taken several thermometers and placed them outside, including my probe meat thermometer, so that I could sync them up to be accurate. This thermometer is inexpensive and accurate. I will buy it again if I have another location for one.

We wanted an accurate outdoor thermometer for our covered back patio and didn't need anything fancy or expensive. I also wanted it to have big enough numbers on it so that I could see it from the window. This thermometer fit those needs great, and it also came with a bracket that holds it away from the wall or post ( as in our case) so the read is more accurate. It's lightweight and plastic although it seems durable enough for hanging on our covered patio. The delivery was fast and we're happy with this purchase. If we need another thermometer in the future I'll definitely buy another one of these.

UPDATE - After a few weeks of use, I have observed that the temperature that this thermometer displays has no correlation to what temperature it actually is, and it is actually giving extremely wide variances from the actual temperature. I would not recommend purchasing this thermometer since it can’t perform its sole function accurately. I’m actually angry I have been duped into contributing to the consumption of worthless plastic garbage on this planet. Ordered two. With one of them, the indicator hand fell off and was rattling around inside the dial. Popped the transparent round window off, reattached hand, replaced window. So far so good. Now, hmm. I have three different thermometers showing three different temperatures, 55, 64, and these two showing 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I’m guessing 64 degrees is correct. So, I turned the screw in the back of the thermometers to revolve the axis to which the coil is affixed. This appears to not have any effect on coil tension, so I think this is a safe thing to do—the coil will just go on reacting to temperature as usual. I almost returned these thinking if I turned the screw it might affect coil tension, but looking at it, I don’t think that turning the screw will harm its functioning. Now the only other thing is…I don’t understand how a thermometer can claim it is “Weatherproof” if you can’t put it in the sun, which the packaging says, but is a fact nowhere to be found on the online description. The reason I ordered two is that I wanted to compare the temperature on my northern and southern (full sun, blast furnace) exposures for planting. Well, we’ll see how it fares with full sun Sacramento summers…. Giving these three stars because with some assembly it will work in limited situations (only in the shade). I’ve also seem photo reviews where it seems like rain can get inside the dial rendering it unreadable, so another way in which this thermometer may only work in a restricted set of circumstances. It could probably work if you want to know the temperature under your covered patio, for example (and you’re not averse to a little tinkering).

When I took this out of the box, the red needle was already dislodged inside the thermometer and tumbling around loose. But it's very easy to read the temp as the numbers are pretty large. You can see it in the photo I posted of it on the patio wall. I'm not sure if it's actually waterproof since I have it under a covered patio, but it seems like it would be. So to fix it, first I saw two little recessed spots on opposite sides of the thermometer (at 9 and 3 o'clock) so I used a butter knife to pop the 2 tabs. This allowed me to remove the faceplate and put the needle back on the center pin (make sure the middle part of the bottom/underside of the needle is resting between the two metal pins!). I popped the faceplate back in and took it outside. The next day I noticed it was reading about 5-10⁰ off, so I used the butter knife again to calibrate the needle (by twisting the screw on the back of the thermometer until the temperature was accurate. It's worked perfect since then! The whole process only took about 5 mins total, but I also learned how to fix/calibrate it in the future should anything happen to it. Also, do NOT use the nails provided, they are as weak as plastic and got stripped easily. Despite me having to fix this, I'm still rating it 4 stars because it was pretty cheap and it's worked flawlessly since.

Had old one attached to my house when I bought it 36+ years ago. Finally broke. Ordered new one despite poor reviews. It came with needle detached & floating around, as many reviews complained about. Was afraid to tear open blister packaging because people said they couldn’t fix it. Asked for a refund & Amazon gave me one & said keep thermometer. I replaced needle correctly & made sure the clear plastic cover was oriented correctly. It has a plastic stud in its center that prevents needle from coming off. But also the 2 rectangular side tabs on the circumference of the cover must be lined up with slots in base & be captured by them to make sure stud restrains needle. The thermometer is very accurate, reads exactly the same as Weather Channel readings. Update 12/20/24: people complain about thermometer not working properly in direct sunlight. No thermometer works properly in direct sunlight. They are supposed to measure air temperature & belong in the shade.

Bon thermometre de temperature

Es frágil pero confiable y a precio justo

Excellent outdoor thermometer. Very clear arrow and dial. Biggest plus is an adjusting screw on the back which allows you to calibrate it - very rare for a basic thermometer. Plastic a bit flimsy so it will be interesting to see how it ages.

This is a great product for the price. I needed it to replace a broken part of an old weatherstation. Looks good and is fairly accurate.

Bon dépanneur, mais pas aussi précis ou utile qu’un thermomètre électronique
