Wasted Money by STEVEN PORGINSKI

Comments: Thermometer lasted less than 3 months. When purchased, was within the +/- 1 degree tolerance. However, after about 3 months, it is approximately 19 degrees off. I strongly suggest you do not waste your money on this inferior product. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I purchased 2 of these units- they seem to work well, except not with batteries provided with purchase. In the case of both units, both the battery in the unit and the spare were dead. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Not good by DCH

Comments: Initially the Digi-Temp seemed to be working well and read the same as other thermometers I was using. But it then started to read high (by over 6F). So, even though cheap, I would suggest it is not worth the money. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I bought 3 Digi-Temp in aquarium digital thermometers. When I seen them they looked like a good idea. I put all three in same aquarium and there was 5 degree difference between high an low and none matched the mercury thermometer. One only lasted a month, there was no water inside. Tried several batteries to no avail. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Too big, inflexible by ian field

Comments: This thermometer is just a little clunky - it's too big to put in my NanoCube 12 display, so I have it in the third chamber. I have to detach it to get a reading, so it really defeats the purpose. It would be great if it floated, but, it doesn't. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

One bad experience by OSCAR A MILLAN

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 10/16/2007 from PICO RIVERA, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I had a Digi-Temp on my 65 gallon reef and the temperatures always seemed very high, around 84. I did everything to cool the system down using several fans and even considered a chiller. Finally brought the temperature down to 77/78. Evertying started to look terrible and I couldn't explain why. Corals weren't opening, fish seemed shy and stressed. Eventually fish and coral started to die. I finally figured out that my temperature monitor was off by 5 degrees. My tank was running constantly at 72/73 degrees instead of 77/78. I've owned many of these before and they have been good, but this was just a bad experience that I don't think is common, but still is worth mentioning. Since then I've placed two in each tank to check agaisn't each other. My current setup has two of these one at each side reading 78 and 80 respectively. Which is still a two degree difference, but not bad. Quality is good, but accuracy I would place at average. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Better than the rest... by Toby Hooker

Posted on 10/5/2007 from Charlotte, NC UNITED STATES

Comments: I've tried 3 different brands of digital thermometers, totaling around 15 different thermometers (I have a lot of tanks). The JBJ Digi-Temp is the only one that has consistently offered a correct temp (+/-1*F) beyond the 6 month mark. I came to this site today to order several more to replace the less reliable brands. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

DOES NOT GIVE CORRECT TEMP by ROBERT BLEDSOE

Posted on 7/19/2007 from MANSFIELD, TX UNITED STATES

Comments: I purchased this thermometer and actually killed my tank starter fish because of it. It took me almost a month of messing with tank temperature to realize the thermometer had to be wrong. After buying a new reliable thermometer I found out this one reads +5 to +6 degrees high. BAD PRODUCT!!!!! I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Always + 5 Degrees off by Maxwell_E

Comments: This thermometer is always +5 or +6 degrees off, after checking against a floating one and 2 heaters. I just subtract 5 or 6 from what the JBJ says. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
