There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Tested the thermometer in several window beds, and found very accurate readings.
From air to soil the needle was extremely sensitive to the temperature change. Currently we are in the middle of August and the weather is quite warm. My soil is a few degrees cooler than the air. I immediately saw a temperature raise when I pulled the needle from the soil.
At $15 I would recommend this product to all home gardeners.
As always with these kinds of instruments "Care and Cleaning" is a must to maintain a good product. If you read other reviews with negative remarks - then please keep in mind how one handles a product will reflect it's performance.

On the plus side it's quick and easy to use. If you haven't heard of Fahrenheit now's the time to brush up because it's manufactured for the US market where no one comprehends Celsius. And if your soil gets above 100F (37.8C in 21st Century language) you might consider buying a different device.
