Title: Totally inconsistent readings, truly disappointing.
Product review: After reading the product description, I bought this item with high hopes and expectations. Foolish me. I've used both mechanical food thermometers and other electronic models, and while few are competely accurate, the Taylor 9842 set new records for slow temperature acquisistion and wildly varying temperature readings. It would swing 40 degrees up and down and rarely wanted to settle down. Completely useless. If you need to gauge the 'doneness' of meat or to determine when chickens, turkeys or foods in a smoker have reached the appropriate internal temperature for safety, stay away from this model!
