Extremely. We have the instant read thermopen (husbands absolute favorite) and this. He uses this for oven/grill for large pieces of meat. We have actually given these both as gifts. everyone loves them.If you watch any of the grilling shows or check reputable cookbooks, ThermoWorks is their choice. Good luck.

It's been seeing a lot of use since purchased several months ago. With reasonable care and cleaning, our red ChefAlarm still looks and works like new. The included case makes storage of both probe & ChefAlarm unit safe, clean, & easy. We haven't dropped it either in or out of the case, but it does appear durable and well built. ThermoWorks products are highly rated for reliability and function.

Ive used this abt 5 times and seems to be very accuate. As far as durability goes, its digital so i wouldnt throw it around, but it doesnt appear to be fragile, and comes with a very sturdy, hard zip case. I love it, and am very pleased with my purchase. The metal cord of the probe does need to be protected with tin foil to prevent it from being pinched between the grill and the lid if no access hole is provided on the grill or lid, according to their customer service. I would certainly purchase this again!

I've never tested the unit with a control, but the results seem correct. It has proven durable so far, over a year and still running perfectly.

It's very durable. I've had this product in my last home and current home and the finish looks just as good as the day I installed it.

I've had it for about 3 months, I have run about 6 batches with no issues. Not sure 3 months constitutes durability, however. The product is quite well constructed.

I've had mine for almost a year and it still works flawlessly. No problems.

I've had mine for 3 years now and it is still fine. My only complaint is that the software is a bit less hassle-free on my Mac than I would prefer. That means that in 3 years I have had to reinstall software once on my Mac one once on my wife's Mac. And I have to power it off/on once every few weeks to get it to reappear on my wifi network. I have absolutely no complaints about the hardware or longevity.

Yes. I have not had it more than a few months. But I am still just as pleased with it. What I cannot report on is durability.

I've had mine for several years now, use it often and for long periods, and I've not had any problems. I will admit that I go out of my way to take care of my equipment and use it properly.

I've only used it maybe 4 times since I got it. My nephew has crashed it every time and it still works. The las time he dropped it Ina pond. After that it was acting weird. I dried it out and recharged it and was working again. So far It has been durable for me?

I've used this for a few years now and it's still working. I've not had any issues with it. And I didn't get the warranty.

I bought one after the bad reviews, and have had no problems. I am entirely pleased with the product. That doesn't answer your question, I know, as clearly it wasn't a 100% failure rate.

Has been pretty indestructible for me. I certainly don't use it every day, but using a once a week for a few months, it still seems like new. I expect to get many years of use from it.

I have had mine for at least 5 years (through 2 moves) and have had absolutely NO problems with it and it is still going strong!

I'm a user of this product. It works well and appears to be a rugged design. I think it would last a long time. It comes with a 12 month standard warrentee.

The connections seem to be very durable. For about 3 months I was taking photos on a daily basis and using this to download them to my computer. I had no problems. Still now, I have no problems using this with my weekly use. I think it will have a very long life. I have some of these that I have had for over several years without problems.

I have found it to be reliably durable, though I'm not using it as a clothes line. I use it to hold up my car's charging cable in my garage.
