Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My last thermometer was a Thermapen. Within 6 months, a piece of rubber gasket between two red plastic shells started popping out. I couldn't fix it so that thermometer wasn't waterproof anymore. So I tried this one. The speed of the temperature reading is as quick, and maybe quicker than the Thermapen, and the quality seems to be identical, except that I haven't had any gasket issues. If I ever were to buy another instant read thermometer, whether for myself or another person, I would buy this one.
