Rating: - inaccurate gauge, plastic over dial melted!
My experience with this thermometer is that it does not hold up well to long term use. The temperature seemed to be inaccurate after the first several uses, and the covering over the dial is made of plastic and melted when I was raising the temperature of the yogurt mix in the oven!
Rating: - I have 2. Sometimes they agree; sometimes they do not.
I purchased two of these thermometers for use with two Salton YM9 Yogurt makers. After a number of uses they did not agree on the temperature when side-by-side in the same fluid. Sometimes there is as much a 6 degrees Celsius difference between the two.
One can use a small wrench to adjust the dial. This works (for me) by using the Salton YM9 Yogurt Maker's incubation temperature as a reference. [The GREEN zone on the thermometer is the Salton's incubation temperature.]

Rating: - Only worked twice
Nice idea to have the incubating range highlighted, and the clip is helpful too.
It worked great the first two times and then ceased to function; this is without dropping it, putting it in the dishwasher or otherwise abusing it.
Rating: - Just used it twice!
I thought it was a great thermometer, and after using it twice, the glass on top just broke, without any reason. And then, when it's broke you can't use it anymore because the paper that indicates the temperature is not glued and moved... Lost 10 doll...

This thermometer makes the job so easy. I purchased it along with the 1 qt. yogurt maker by Salton. I would recommend it to anyone.
