13.25 Inch in/Out Dial Weather Thermometer - Teal

EDIT: You can adjust the needle. Remove the plastic lens, hold the piece that attaches to the bi-metallic spring on the backside, and then move the needle. Mine fell and was WAY off, but I was able to move the needle so it reads correctly. Lots of reviews say “not accurate” so I tested it before I even took it out of the box. In my house, thermostat says 69 degrees and the thermometer is with a degree or two. Next I placed it in the deep freeze, and it showed about 18 degrees. This is perfectly acceptable accuracy IMO. This isn’t a scientific instrument. A note of caution: The bimetallic spring is extremely sensitive. Do not mount the thermometer in direct sunlight or it will read high - surprisingly high. I am satisfied. Large numbers, easy to read, and dial is squarely mounted so it moves freely across the entire scale (the thermometer I replaced - not Taylor - hit the face at 20 and couldn’t read any lower.)

Perfect size..easy to read..sturdy ..easy install..mounted on 1 hook..stays flat to surface, even in windy conditions. Accurate in recording outside temperature! Excellent quality for the price

I bought this as a temporary outdoor thermometer to use at neighborhood events. For that it works fine, but it is pretty flimsy. Any little twist and the plastic cover pops off; however, once mounted on a flat surface it stays in place just fine. The other negative is that the 20 degree jump between temperature numbers makes single degrees hard to pick out; e.g., for the jump from 60 to 80 , it's hard to pick out what a temperature in the 70's is without getting really close. If you're looking for a more robust outdoor thermometer you'll have to pay more, but for its price point this one is a sold 4-star product.

I stepped up in price for this one after buying 2 other brands last year that were comparable in size. My previous buys were off by several degrees. This one is more accurate. Some days it has been right on, other times maybe a degree or two less than what my phone shows. Close enough for me.

very inaccurate temperature reading - more than 20-30 degrees off and if it's in the sun, it said it was 100 degrees even though the outside temp was 65.

Mine came with a cracked face. It was delivered in a brown envelope that would never survive the trip packaged like that. A prompt replacement was delivered OK, but in the same type of envelope that offers no protection. Nice thermometer. The vendor was excellent...things happen. Very satisfied.

It is pretty hot here six months of the year, and we can reach triple digit temps as early as April, but July through September or October (depends if we have an Indian Summer) are dangerously hot and humid. Each Summer seems to be a little worse than the last, too, so this year I decided to hang an outdoor thermometre on my porch in order to keep an eye on the temperature and to know if I should go inside and/or make my dog go inside if the temperature goes much over 90 in the shade. I like pretty, cheerful things in the garden, so I first ordered a decorative thermometre in the shape of a Cardinal. It was pure junk. Next I ordered this Taylor model in the Teal colour, and it looks just like the photo. It arrived today, and it seems to register the correct temperature so far. It is at least 102 outside right now before the heat index is factored in, and it will likely reach 105-106 by 5 p.m.. This Taylor thermometre is made of an EXTREMELY cheap, thin plastic frame and a thin plexiglass cover. if it dropped to the ground, especially onto either cement or concrete or virtually any reasonably hard surface, it would be ruined, so I suggest you place it somewhere out of sunlight and most winds, and be sure to attach it to the wall as securely as possible. I have siding on my home, so I used a siding clip to hang it. It does not hang very securely on the clip at all, but since we have no wind now, I will take my time to figure out a better way to hang it on the siding without using screws or nails. I do not understand why they do not simply have a pyramid shaped hook or a keyhole shape on the back which would be much better than the style they are using. It has two grooves instead that are best designed to slide over fairly wide head screws or nails. That is fine if you want to hang it on a wood or a brick surface and you have the drill and the drill bits necessary to put in the screws/nails, but what if you want to hang it on siding or some other surface, or what if you do not have a drill and the correct drill bits? So far, this is the biggest issue for me. I wish it had a much better mounting system. If this thermometre would stand up to 5 or more years of use, then the price point would be fair enough. If it fails in under a year or in a little over a year, then the price is much too high. Only time will tell. I hung mine on my porch on the wall. The area that high up is pretty well sheltered from rain all year round. Wind will reach it, though, in Autumn, Winter, and Spring, so I really need to find a better way to secure it. For now, however, it seems to be working fine. If it turns stormy here on any day, I will rush to take it down before the wind can knock it down. If you are thinking of buying this model, just keep in mind that it is very cheaply made, and hanging it on the cutouts on the back may be more of a challenge than you might expect. Be sure to have a drill and the correct drill bits and screws on hand if you plan to put it on a wood or brick surface. It should give you a pretty accurate reading so long as you keep it out of sunlight. Amazon did not put any air pillows or paper or anything to protect it inside of the shipping box (shame on you Amazon!), so I was surprised it arrived without any cracks or major scratches on the bezel. ETA: I have used this thermometre for a few weeks now. It definitely was showing anywhere between 3 and 5 degrees cooler than it actually was outside. I researched how to calibrate it. Brought it indoors and let it sit near my HVAC thermostat for around three hours, and it definitely definitely was off by at least 3-4 degrees. Turned it over and turned the dial ever so slightly to the LEFT to move the needle up by 3-4 degrees. I have now placed it back outside and will check it later today to see how it is doing. For the price point, this will not give you total accuracy, but it gets reasonably close. A friend of mine is married to a hunter, and he and his hunting buddies use an app called Dark Skies which usually is spot on for the temperature and prediction of precipitation, etc. I used this app to check the temperature and compare it to what this thermometre reads. It is a good way to check it, so you might want to try Dark Skies or any other weather app you think is good.

Looks great in the yard. Easy setup.

Easy to hook, sturdy, big enough, affordable and nice looking!

This arrived before date due, was packed well and everything worked when checked out with another temp gauge, would suggest to anyone looking for a outdoor or indoor Thermometer, good vaule at the price.

Perfect thank you

El tamaño es lo mejor
