Product review (1 stars): Doesn't Last
This is my 2nd AcuRite thermometer. The first one was smaller and worked well for several years, so when it died, I ordered this one.

At first it worked fine, accuracy was (and always has been) spot on as best I could tell, and the screen is readable with nice large numbers.

However, after about 3 months, the battery in the display died. I had put a brand new, fully charged battery in it when I first got it, so I thought that was strange, but I replaced the battery and went on. 3 weeks later it died again, but this time after replacing the battery, I couldn't get the numbers to stay visible on the screen. They would fade in and out depending on how I held the device. I finally managed to get the display to remain visible and again the unit was fine (still accurate). A few weeks later, it faded out again and it took more jiggling to get the display to come back. I even replaced the battery for a fresh one again (but the old battery tested fine and fully charged). At this point the display doesn't work at all. I can pick the unit up and if I hold it at just the right angle, I can see the numbers faintly (and they're still correct) but they don't show up on the display.

So this one is going in the trash and I guess I'll buy another brand and hope it works better
