It's 4.75 inches. Will work perfect as a Home Brewing ThermometerCheers,Michael "Medium Rare" O'DonnellCave Tools - Owner

For indoor plants, orchids etc., I use a momet plus. It's a moisture meter/light meter and only about a foot long. The two foot probe on the other is a bit of over kill.

Sure. The probe isn't that long maybe 4 inches, but positioned correctly as far as you can go, it should be fine

48" long, not including the jack or probe. BTW, I had to wind it with electrical tape because it was wearing thin where the wire is attached to the probe. I was surprised because KitchenAid makes pretty good products.

The dual timer is about 3 in. tall and about 3 in. wide. The probes are about 5 1/2 in. tall. I am pretty happy with it.

The STC-1000. For the price and functionality you absolutely can't go better. I have one controlling the temperature in my homebrew refrigerator and another for backup (the price was so cheap, I thought for sure it would burn out or stop working, but 1 year and it's still working perfectly). Mine only reads in celsius, but I have a chart right next to it that converts to F so I can easily adjust. It is digital and you can program very specifically the upper and lower ranges and read the current termperature at any time. The temperature probe is very small (compared to a manual knob type I have and paid much more for). It does require some wiring, so it's a little DIY, but there are videos on youtube that show pretty well how to do it. Be sure an watch those before you make your final decision to make sure you're up for a little wiring (I know nothing about electricity or wiring and was able to do it in 30 minutes or so)

The probe cord is 44 inches long and the unit does have a magnet on the back to secure it to a metal surface. Not sure about the comment of not leaving the probe in while cooking; maybe for use in an oven. I have used it twice only with a gas barbeque: once I left the probe in for pork tenderloin and once I had to insert the probe to test the temp as I was using the rotisserie. Worked great both times. Suggest you remove the battery and not store the unit with the battery in it.

The tip is about an inch, making the probe piece about 3 to 3.5 inches long.

Ms Sonja, The Luster Leaf 1880 Rapitest meter has probes measuring 3¼". Personally, I would prefer a longer set of probes, it is difficult to measure values at depth greater than 3¼". But don't despair, in most cases one can root down (pun intended) into the root region and pull up a better measurement.Given the price and its accuracy, this tool is a must for most growers and your plants will love the extra attention, perhaps they will "grow like weeds."Happy Gardening and keep on growing, Michael & the Crew @ Synergy Aquaponics

The probe is probably around 6 inches. From what I could tell it is the first 1/2 inch to 1 inch that registered the temp.

The brass probe is 28 inches long and approximately 1/4 inch thick. It is very strong and I love it.

Some of these units come with a clip to allow you to attach it to the side of a pot. So long as the probe is not touching the bottom or side of the pot you should get a reliable reading. Just be sure you have stirred the pot so the temp of the liquid is uniform.

I can only guess now since I no longer have the digital thermometer. I had it for about a year and it worked fine. The probe is about 5 inches long I would say. When the batteries died it was very difficult to get into the battery compartment, and when I did replace the batteries it still would not work. So I have thrown it away.

The length is adjustable as the probe can slide up and down clip. It is also easy to remove and replace in case you need to place a lid on pot. I hope this helps!

The metal probe is 2.75" long. The entire unit is 6.75" long. However the protective cap when connected to the opposite end makes the unit 10" long. This nice feature saves a lot of fingers when the grill is really hot. This is a great unit and I definitely recommend it.

The long portion of the L shaped probe is roughly 6" - 7" long as I recall. I found IKEA sells a simpler (more durable) unit for way less that has worked very well for me http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80100406/

I measured my gauage and the length of the probe from the bottom of the cap is 13"
