Product review (4 stars): has a poor mechanical design to latch closed
Fast reading probe with optional voice enunciation of the temperature without having to look at the display. The thermometer came with dead batteries and was I able to discover the flaw. The probe tip, when folded back, has a poor mechanical design to latch closed. Thus, when the probe becomes slightly unlatched, the display comes on. This was the reason for dead batteries on arrival. The workaround is to fold and try to latch the probe, then rely on the on/off button to make sure the thermometer display is off. Find the response time around 3 seconds and accuracy is very good.
