Taylor Precision 5630 6 Dial Thermometer

I bought this one to replace one my father bought about a decade ago for our wood-heat-only homestead in an appalachian hollow where microclimates can change our temperature dramatically from the rest of our region. The old one usually reads within 5 degrees of the brand new one. It's super easy to read and see through my living room window, and I personally think the design is quaint and attractive. The arm on this one keeps it locked in place where the old model spins when the wind blows, so I like that a lot. When the sun hits it directly, the temperature is completely inaccurate, so try to find a nice shady spot without reflective surfaces close by that might cause false readings. Most importantly, after ten years and some hard knocks, the old model is still quite functional, so these little gadgets are fantastic for long term use even when exposed to the elements! Read more

Easy to install, easy to read as the readers digest large print size is awesome. A good value at under $10 ... who needs one with a clock, if the suns up, it's time to see how hot it is! This Taylor Precision 5630 6" Dial Thermometer is a great option, especially for us AZ folks who want to know why our skin is melting!!! Read more

Nice thermometer, easy to read and mount. Not sure how accurate.... Read more

First one I got was stuck at 79 degrees, even in 90 degree weather. I sent it back. The second one was stuck at 79 degrees also. No accuracy whatsoever. Clearly a bad batch, like a broken clock that's showing the correct time 2 times a day! I would avoid anything from this brand. I took the second one and threw it in the trash. Read more

This is hanging in my donkey’s barn. You can see it well, read the temp from a little distance away, seems durable and a good value for the money. Read more
