is this the trusty corolla that refuses to die? or the Rolls Royce that's opulent for the sake of opulence?
I have the MK4 after having several no-brand and some better brand thermometers. I can toss them all and keep this, because it'll last longer, and will be accurate.

I've had one for 6 years. Yes it worked great up until few months ago. Now it flickers on and off even after a new battery. There are plenty on Amazon for far less that are as good with better warranties. Another poster that has tested several of these suggested this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S93E...UTF8&
Side x side with the Thermapen, it's as fast and accurate. I bought 2....one for each home.
I'm not falling for the Thermapen scam again. Others have replicated the technology at a far better price. Fact
After trying what seems like 30 different types, I have settled on one for the last 3 years now that has been instant, reliable, and dead on every time (no worry, I still been testing others over that time frame). Sure, the guys here owning one of these will tell me I don't know wtf I am talking about. Fine. Money wasn't the issue, testing different thermometers was the challenge.
I will purchase one of these, maybe this deal even. Just so I can say I have the golden standard everyone here is raving about. For the rest here reading and wondering why we would want to spend all this money on this I will offer you, what I consider the golden standard of made in china cheapos suggested by a guy that has spent well over $500+ on such a silly, yet essential tool for the sake of trying them all: https://www.amazon.com/Thermomete...00
Roast me, grill me, but please do reverse sear me for this post if you must. Just some friendly advise from a grill fanatic who obsessed over thermometers way more then he should. Don't FIRE me if it doesn't work out for you, it is a cheap tool after all, but mine has been solid.
Amazon shows a "newer model" that is slightly cheaper but seems to be a different brand w/only 34 ratings. Any opinion? Have you tried it?

Amazon also shows Thermapro- $10 w/>84000 positive reviews or $20 for newer version also w/good review:

As far as that second one you posted I can tell you that Amazon says:
Last purchased Jun 8, 2017. I own that one. I do NOT RECOMMEND that one. I have used it a dozen times and it is slow, sluggish and just nowhere near as accurate as the Alpha Thermometer.
Was about to buy a $50 therma pro set from Sam's club, more gadgetry, but apparently lower quality
