Does the display show actual temperature or desired temperature? I've looked at reviews for other vendors, and one complaint is that setting the temperature only indicates what you want, not what you have at the tip.

Display shows the temperature of the temperature sensor, which is located in the proximity of the heater. It is the actual temperature, but it is not measured at the tip but at the heater, in about an inch from from the tip. Due to close proximity to the heater and sufficient power which the heater has, response to the change of the dial is very quick. If you turn on the unit, you will see how the temperature readings would increase from room temperature to the set temperature within several seconds. The tip temperature will trail behind (it will take some 20-30 seconds to reach the target).

It shows the set temp when you are setting it, then it shows the water temp afterwards. I also have a removable thermometer outside the tank and this heater functions flawlessly.

The previous answers agree with my experience. When you first press the on/off button and release it, the digital display reads all 8s. In a second or two, the actual temperature will appear. No need to hold the button on while reading temperatures. In addition to assisting in making gelato, this thermometer has been priceless in making adjustments to water that I'm adding to an aquarium. I've been very pleased with the product.

Hi,If you change the mode to fan or dehumidify the current temp will display. Otherwise the temp shows the desired temp, rather than current temp.

Yes, a temp shows, probably air temp. It increases (or decreases if meat is cold) once inserted and the meat begins to cook. I like it, but I do wish the probe cable was a bit longer.

I noticed that the temp display had very subtle shading to distinguish between the heat settings. We depend on wrist dipping and a toy ducky which has a temp readout that is easier to see.

Absolutely. There is a target temp that is set by the user and an actual temp. Very rarely does it fluctuate within .2 deg either way. Yes two tenths of a degree. Very accurate device.

Yes it does. You see current temp, the current target temperature, whether it is on heat or cool, fan settings, et al. I have set up notifications when the current room temp drops below 50 degrees, so I get an email letting me know. I also set it so that it cannot be set over 75 degrees. Lastly, it emails me when batteries are running low, say below 15%. Hope that helps.

Yes, the display is always on, and displays the actual temperature in C, not F, which cannot be changed. You have to go into the setup mode to see temperature set point, hidden when in run mode.

The display shows the present temp in the room. If you push the up arrow, the display changes to the setpoint and if you keep pressing up, the set point increases. Example, 66 in the room, and 66 on the display. I push the up until it reads 71. When I release the up arrow, the display goes back to 66 and within a second or two, the fire logs come on and stay on till the room reaches 71. I hope that answers your question.

My guess is that you have the "low temp" value set higher than what it is sensing as the current temperature. I never use the low temp thing so I have it set at 35 degrees and I never have the issue you are describing.

I got this heater today, didn't use it yet. But just so you know, the red numbers you see in the front is not the digital display or current temp of the water, it shows at what setting you kept your thermostat. I don't know how accurate that thermostat works.

I bought mine for low temperature use. but i found that it would not hold my desired temperature, be the temperature that it displayed (i have a laser heat gun), or stay powered on the entire time i had set. Overall it wasn't a very precise device, i personally recommend looking into any other devices in your price range if there are any, as i would not buy this again for my purposes.

Once you set the temp., it remains at that set temperature until you change it.Even after you turn it off and then on again.

Last year the temp held true. But it is very hard to read the little thermometer in the unit. This year it was really hard to get the temp right. Perhaps if I found a secondary digital thermometer I might have had better luck.

It displays the actual temperature, you don't see the temperature preset unless you go to the program setting mode. Just remember, it only displays celcius. I have another thermometer in my cooler that displays the temperature in farenheit. It was a fun project to wire and set up. I am a complete novice with electrical circuits, but a fairly handy person.

Good question. I've had varying amounts of success with this unit. Looking at my unit right now (on the inside measurement) I can see the temp, humidity, month, day,and year. On the outside I can see the current temp and two blank bars where the humidity goes (%). I don't think I've ever had my outside humidity reported. Hope this helps.
