Works very well. Bought for our kids to start doing woodburning projects, but also for my lettering and signing of crafts/signs.  It is really nice that it has a dial for temperature selection-this way I can set it to the proper heat for different wood density, etc.  Works as it should.  Recommended as a nice entry level burner.  Comes in a nice plastic storage case. Impressed in what we got for the price.  This would be my top pick as far as the entry level burners go here on Amazon.  Can't really go wrong with it!

Only used this a few times but so far, it's great! It has three buttons - one to hold the temperature, one to turn it off and on, and one to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. I've always had a hard time knowing when certain things are cooked, especially pork and chicken. This makes it so easy. It's really easy to use and takes the temperature in just a few seconds. The metal arm thing that takes the temperature swings out so you don't have to get your hand too close to the heat. You can also use it at different angles. Great product and one im definitely going to use a lot!

This review is for a digital thermometer. It has a measuring range of -58 degrees to 572 degrees Fahrenheit. It has a measuring accuracy of + or 1 - degree at temperature from -4 to 392 degrees Fahrenheit and a plus or minus 2 degree at other temperature range. It requires a triple A battery which is not included. Once you put the battery in, the LCD function comes up on the screen and is easy to read. It also gives you a meat temperature guide label on the display area which is very nice. It lists beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, and fish. That is a nice feature so that you don't have to look in your recipe book for what temperature it should be for medium rare, medium or well done. The directions tell you to remove the battery cover, put in a battery, and replace the battery cover. The toggle switch to switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit is located underneath the battery cover so you have to remove the cover again. The toggle switch is not labeled and I had to use a toothpick to toggle it from Celsius to Fahrenheit. The hole is too small for a finger to get in there to move it. That would be the only thing I would change on this unit. It does have a hold button which is nice. Once it reaches the temperature, you can push the hold button and it holds the temperature so you can read it after pulling it out of the meat. It is easy to use and very functional in any type of kitchen, weather commercial or residential in my opinion. I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

There are multiple clocks in my house and there are also multiple weather stations. My family has always had an interest in the weather (current and past) so there was quite a bit of interest when this little clock arrived in the house. It is not a full weather station and can only give a limited amount of information but it is still interesting and useful just the same.

This is a small clock, measuring approximately 3x3x1.5. It is small enough that it can find a home just about anywhere. I keep it on my work table next to my desk. It has a nice, big display that is easy to read in all but the most extreme viewing angles.

There are a number of elements on the screen. There is the actual time which can be displayed in either 12-hour or 24-hour format. The day of the week also is there. There is a date display but it requires a button push; not a deal breaker by any means but I would have preferred to have the date with the time. It also shows the current temperature and humidity in the room which is a nice indicator of the current conditions.

There is an alarm clock function built in too which is a nice-to-have but is a feature I will not use. The top button on the clock acts as a snooze button but it also lights the face of the clock.

The clock takes 2 AAA batteries. I have no idea how long the batteries will last as I have not had this clock long enough to run them down yet, but so far it has held up nicely.

It does come with instructions but they are hard to read. Fortunately, they are not really needed and I never referred to them when I was setting the date/time and learning how to read the screen.

This is a simple and straightforward little clock that also shows a couple of elements of current conditions. I would hesitate to call this a weather station but it is nice that it reports the temperature and the humidity. It is reasonably inexpensive too which makes it a nice clock if you need one that can tell you a little about current conditions.

Disclosure: I was provided a sample of this product in exchange for a fair, honest and thorough review. Even though I received this product at no/minimal cost I have rated and reviewed this product without bias, based solely on my experience with it.

It took a bit of reading and rereading the manual...  The only problem is that the circular dial for temp control doesn't lock and is directly beneath the handle.  It is very easy to bump this control and inadvertently change the temperature.

It is great to be able to be notified if the temperature or humidity goes outside the range I want.

This seems to be accurate within a few degrees and is a very handy tool to have.  It is good for grabbing temp ranges and construction is pretty solid.  Has switch for F and C and nice easy to see display.  Comes to temp very quickly, within a second or two.

I'm used to being able to set my own temperature and this one has a series of fixed temps. It would be much nicer if the backlight had its own button and could stay on for a longer time while I'm waiting for a precise result. Otherwise, the unit seems nice. How hard would it be to incorporate the ability to preset any temperature? It should power up in manual mode with a user-settable temp like a normal thermometer.

Comes with a spare thermocouple (temp probe). That was unexpectedly nice.

Overall, I am happy with this weather station. I got this particular model because it had barometric pressure readings AND its 24-hour history for my BF who suffers from weather-related sinus pains/pressure. This is a very handy feature for us, but if you are not looking for this feature, you can find good weather stations for half the price of this one, so do shop around. The other functions of this station work perfectly, and I have experienced no problems or malfunctions. The display is easy to read and the forecast arrow (up for when weather is to improve, and down, when it is supposed to worsen) has been fairly accurate and works about 95% of the time, I'd say. As for the overall appearance: I am not crazy about the metal "wings" of this thing, which make it look bigger/wider than it really needs to be. Also, there are two "dummy" buttons at the bottom. Why? I have no idea. If you only need six buttons, you don't need to add two more fake ones just for looks. Also, the little feet that pop out for desktop use are pretty flimsy. Better to hang on the wall, in my opinion. [...]

Useful, easy, accurate, and fun! It has its uses, and when you need a quick temperature, bam! There ya go

This particular set comes with both a thermometer and a kitchen timer.

The Thermometer has a black handle with a digital screen identifying the temperature.  The temperature can be read in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. This makes cooking so much easier if you are working in a kitchen with people who are more comfortable with one type of reading than the other. All you need to do to change it is press the "*C/*F"Button.
If you are curious as to what the minimum temp, average, and maximum temp that it is ready, you can simply press the Max/Min button.  This may allow you to determine is every part of the meat is done.  I actually had it happen once with a different thermometer when checking chicken that one part of over 170 degrees while another part of still 130 degrees.... I wasn't sure it is was completely done.  Even up keeping it in the oven and drying it out.
There is also a "HOLD" button.  This locks the temperature in place.  The instructions, to me, were a bit unclear about this function and it's purpose. But I would be willing to bet that it may be so that you can check the temperature of the meat without placing your face too close to the hot food.
The thermometer fits nicely in the plastic container that it comes with and should be able to store easily.
I was a bit surprised at the length of this thermometer. I was expecting something much smaller.  The prong measures 5 3/4 inches and the handle measures about 3 1/5 inches.  The display is also fairly large.  This may be a good gift for someone who is losing their eye sight.
It is fairly easy to clean, I would use a damp cloth to wash it and then rinse the prong with water.

There Timer is also much bigger than I expected and would make a great gift for someone who is losing their eye sight. It is white in color with blue buttons, just as shown in the picture. The unit itself measures 2 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 3/4 inch.  The two small buttons are 1/2 inch in diameter and the large button is just over 1/2 inch in diameter.  The numbers are clearly seen as they are black in color and have a height of 1 1/4 inches.
It is extremely easy to use!  The button on the far left is the minute button.  It can be pressed as many times as needed to reach it's minutes or you can hold it down and it will count up quickly.  The button in the middle is for the seconds and is used the same way as the minute button. The Large button is the start/stop button.  You can use this to stop or pause a setting you have started or you can use it to start counting. . . in the example that you want to see how long it would take you to do something.  To clear a setting, simply press the minute and second button at the same time.
The alarm, to me,  extremely loud. This is a feature that would allow this to be a great gift for someone who is hard of hearing... maybe it will save them from burning something int he oven.
It can be positioned in a few different ways.  It has a battery on the back, allowing it to be stuck to any magnetic object and the magnet is fairly strong.  It also has a kick stand so that you can set the time up at an angle on the counter. If neither of those appeal to you, you can also tie a string through the eye hole on the back and hang it somewhere.
It comes with a triple A battery.
This also would be an easy item to clean with a damp cloth.

I bought this for my 83 year old mom. She likes to look out the window and see the temperature.
He eyesight is pretty good but, the big numbers on the thermometer make it easier to see, even
at night. It's a nice, heavy weight but not too heavy to easily hang from a fence or post. So far
it's been very accurate. My mom is also very happy with the design. It's attractive and simple.

I have only had this installed for about 2 weeks now but so far it has worked out good. I really like that after about an hour or so of no movement in the house that the Ecobee can automatically change the temperature based on what your settings are. It is also a really nice and modern look. I only have one additional sensor but hope to add more on to see exactly how it can work.

This food thermometer seems to be much more durable than others we have had in the past. I like the fact that you can control the exact temperature setting, not choose from the default options. Time will tell how well the probe holds up, but for now we are delighted. The one option I would like to see is a remote monitor that allows one to track the temperature change while away from the kitchen. This is especially handy when one is baking things that take hours, not minutes.

I searched the stores and the internet for just the right thermometer that was bold, was not glass, had both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales, that could be hung up easily and that would not break the bank. This one fit the bill.

When it arrived, it was much larger than I anticipated. It's probably perfect for a large yard with a pool, but on my condo balcony, it does look a bit ridiculously big, but having said that, it's very clear and readable from inside, several feet away.

I find it to be very accurate (when compared to the weather reading on a smart phone for instance).

It's also has a plastic shatterproof face, which is good because my last one was glass and accidentally got broken.

It has a 'keyhole' shaped cutout on the back for hanging on a wall (on a nail) or you can use an "S" hook to hang it on a railing like I do.

Bought this thermometer based on its features and the reviews. I must say it was a good purchase.
You can set the temperature for your favorite beef, lamb or fish with additional settings for well, medium, medium rare or rare.
Als,o there is a switch "cook-timer" on the back side of it, where you can set this thermometer as a timer! Some bonus feature, I guess.
It's a neat and handy little gadget. I'm very pleased with it, works great and does what it is supposed to do!!!

My husband really, really loves his Nubee Temperature Gun. There was no specific reason that he needed one, but he knew that non-contact infared thermometers are incredibly useful and versatile tools to have on hand. Since we received ours, he's used it for several different purposes, including taking the temperature of oil for cooking, checking bath temperature, making sure our children don't have a fever, checking to see if the parts on the car were safe enough to handle when working on it, our A/C temperature output, and even for checking the temperature outdoors.

We received the NUB8380, which is the cheapest model, but it's still pretty awesome. It's a non-contact digital laser infared thermometer. It is handheld and provides readings (within 2 degree accuracy) with the pull of a trigger. It features both Fahrenheit and Celsius measurements that can be switched with the click of a button. The range of the thermometer is between -50 degrees to + 380 degrees C / -58 degrees to + 716 degrees F, making it an incredibly versatile tool. It also features an easy-to-see red laser pointer for precise aiming.

Readings are displayed on a blue back-lit LED, which can be turned off with the click of a button.

It's powered by one 9-volt battery (included) and also features an auto-shutoff function to help conserve the battery.

To use the Nubee Infared Thermometer, just aim precisely at what you want to measure. The laser beam will guide the way so that you're sure that you're getting a reading on the object, even from faraway. The reading will be displayed on the screen without having to touch or come close to anything that you don't want to.
