This is definitely not the cheapest I've seen the MK4. I got it for 67.32 + tax and shipping last year. Felt silly spending that much for a thermometer, but I use it way more than I thought I would and it's very handy.

Solid deal on the best in class. I have a Maverick that was $100, works great but definitely needs a bit to come to temp. Thermapen is instant, and that matters when doing controlled temp cooks and keeping the dome closed. Thanks OP, repped!

Wow that's a great deal! Is that when they had it on sale and there was a coupon? Don't think they let that happen very often.

Updated OP to reflect this isn't the lowest. But still low

I got the same deal. It was on sale for 25% off and there was a 10% coupon code that stacked. For me, this was around black Friday / holiday time

This is the best I've seen lately

My Thermapen finally gave up the ghost after 6 years.

I can't bring myself to spend that much for an extra 2 seconds so this time went with the Lavatools PT12 Javelin for $26.99

BTW, the UK prices on the Thermapen (it's a UK company) are nuts

Grabbed one with this deal, and have to say QC wasn't great. Supposed to all be NIST calibrated individually, but mine wouldn't register boiling temp properly and was on the slow side at about 4 to 6 seconds response. Come to hear from the tech that this can happen when the thermocouple isn't seated well within the tip during manufacturing. Got a replacement and it's night and day difference. Hard to believe that the first was checked out and calibrated, or else their QC standards wasn't great. So if you think it's not great, it's probably not your imagination.

The best I could do was $60.27 for the MK 4
It was 75.27 shipped with the America's Test Kitchen coupon code in 2017. Then AMEX was running a promo for a $15 credit any order over $75.
