Taylor Heritage Metal Dial Thermometer, Easy to Read Numbers for Patio, Pool, and Indoor Areas, Bronze Trim, 4.25-Inch

Accurate, validated against two mercury filled secondary reference, calibrated from 0C to 50C and 0 to 70C respectively (0.5C accuracy); and also digital reference accurate to 0.02C. No deviation when measuring between 10F degrees and 66F ambient temperature (-12.2C to 18.9C). Thermometers were placed outdoors, under a north facing covered porch, no direct sunlight, eastern US. Measurements taken over five days. Thus far, as new, this thermometer is surprisingly accurate.In good light the dial is fairly easy to read at 3 meters or 10 feet distance, but not much further; your mileage may vary depending on visual acuity.It is slow to respond to rapid temperature changes. Moving back and forth between indoor room temperature (around 72F to 74F) and outdoors 66F, 54F, and 40F required several minutes before registering the correct temperature. I don't expect reaching equilibrium for at least an hour after moving it. The thermometer was so slow when I first moved it outdoors that I thought it was broken. During a recent storm, where the temperatures decreased gradually from around 50F to 10F, the thermometer remained accurate and kept pace with the decrease in ambient temperature.The barrel and pivot pin hinge mount is very loose, with about 2 mm space between the barrel and the pin. The mount is basically a Z shaped aluminum arm that fits two barrels on both the bracket and the back of the thermometer housing, with each arm end acting as a pivot pin. The thermometer moves freely on both pivots; with the slightest wind it behaves like a weather vane. A strong gust would slam it into the mount point, or if mounted on a window frame or door frame then it would hit the window or door. Vinyl electrical tape wrapped around the pins provides an easy fix and more friction. One of the pins came with a vinyl cap, which may be used for the same purpose. Only one pin was capped with the merchandise I received (the package was also opened). A set screw or cotter pin that fastens the mount arm position would be nice. The manufacturer decided on something more economical.Several years ago, another company manufactured this style of outdoor dial thermometer. I recall it was a German company. Their merchandise was brass, heavier and more substantial. Their mounts included set screws and the pin fit was snug and exact. That thermometer responded more quickly to temperature fluctuation, about as fast as a kitchen candy thermometer or meat thermometer. It was more expensive but well worth the retail price. This is not the same thermometer.Overall, its not bad for 15 dollars; not sure how long it will last.

Big numbers. Great style. Just 2 screws

Size is very nice. Not too big or small. Rather sophisticated looking, I think. It's performance? Perfect. I sat it out for a couple weeks with a smaller thermometer I have, and they both read the same numbers at the same time. Works for me! I'm glad I purchased it.

I bought two of these after seeing on at a B&B. One is on my primary home and the other on our vacation/rental home. Both suite the vintage structures and read out a pretty consistent and accurate temp.

This is perfect where I put it.

I didn’t see in the description that this is only 4” big. I was surprised and disappointed, but my husband put it up, I still can’t read it!

Bought this for our new fancy chicken coop. Works great and looks awesome!

It was perfect for my patio.

A good looking thermometer that has Fahrenheit in large numerals and centigrade in smaller ones. Like many people in the UK, including some youngsters, I find the Fahrenheit scale more useful to measure the temperature of the environment despite being forced by the authorities to change to the centigrade scale.

I guess I didn't pay close enough attention to the description because this thermometer is pretty small. It's hard to read from any distance away. But it looks really nice and is pretty accurate. Please note: in Fahrenheit degrees, not Celcius.

Unit is very accurate, but lacks complete instructions for installation. The product itself is great but the very incomplete instructions need to be improved.

Worked for a few years but in the winter at -30C it just died.

Les chiffre sont petit donc dificille a lire
