ThermoPro TP19H Waterproof Instant Read Meat Thermometer with Backlit and Motion Sensor $13.99 + FS w/ Prime or Orders $25+

Just to make it clear, this is not the ThermoWorks brand, that everyone raves about. This is clearly a generic thermometer, trying to cash in by having "Thermo" in their name to confuse consumers.

I have this and it's nice for the price. The ThermoWorks Pop ($34) reads temps about twice as fast. When your hand is over a hot grill, those few seconds count. I'd recommend both, but especially the Pop. It's my go-to now and a pleasure to use. If you'd like to go all-in and get the Termapen ($79-$99) I understand it's the best/fastest, but I personally haven't used it.

Great product and price, very accurate. 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon

This brand/seller is getting SPAMed on forums every couple days.
Or "Affiliate Offered" every few days, now that SD staff is the poster.
Despite large number of reviews on Amazon, forum members seem to have pretty mixed experiences.
"POPULAR" promoted at 3TU.
Don't believe Slickdeals blindly guys.

I'd suggest saving your money from going down the drain on no name/knockoff cheapies and buying a ThermoWorks one.
ThermoPop goes on sale semi regularly for $25 and their more robust one can be had for $70. Buy a good one once and be happy, or rebuy garbage repeatedly and be frustrated.


Got curious about this seller, so I dug in a little:
Per Amazon seller Profile for i-Tronics [amazon.com]:

Business Name:Thermopro Inc.
Business Address:
1603 CAPITAL AVE STE 310 A140
CHEYENNE, WY 82001

The "Company" is entirely run by one person, drop ship maybe?
https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/F...8132140000
Jun Hu (President / Director)
Jun Hu (Secretary)
Jun Hu (Treasurer)
Jun Hu (Vice President)

Numerous "companies" running out of that same office suite, just different room #s...so I'm guessing it's basically a PO Box type shell building.

Searching "thermopro" "jun hu"
https://www.google.com/search?ei=...CA0&uact=5
shows a couple ebay listings...
which read
"Legal status of the seller

518100 shenzhen, 广东 省

Complete information
Sales tax identification number:

....so when these are being sold on German eBay they list it as coming from China?
Whereas here they masquerade as USA?

Google search for "ThermoPro" & "SHENZHEN YIKAIER ELECTRONICS CO"

looks like we have a winner...

junk compared to thermapen, I have both the older one and the new thermapen mark 4 or mk4.

instant, and amazing.

Not comfortable in bum.

Get a ThermoWorks if you want the best of the best. Javelin is also good.
These aren't bad though, but don't expect anywhere near instant read. Just understand that they aren't a BIFL item like ThermoWorks or Javelin.

I've got to call BS on the negative comments. Wondering if the negative posts are from sellers of higher priced units. Some are going out of their way to research and post about a < $15 item???

Because it is a flagrant attempt at a knockoff or at least confusing product, banking on an established brand's well regarded product.

ThermoWorks is well known for making fast instant read thermometers. Do you think it is a coincidence that this Chinese brand is using the "Thermo" name and the same capitalization?

A junky thermometer with Bluetooth, is still a junky thermometer. It's not a deal, it's just junk.

I already have this. It works just fine, used it all summer.
