Product review (1 stars): Didn't work right out of the box
Finally got the right batteries for it since it specified lithium and alkaline batteries, not rechargeable which is what I had on hand. I got the batteries and finally installed them; unfortunately 4 days after the return policy had expired. So guess what. The thing only reads out when you press the case in a certain way; otherwise the numerals are broken and half visible. I have nothing good to say about AcuRite unless they exchange this thermometer for one that works.
