Title: Works great as long as the batteries do.
Product review: We used this almost daily for over 2 years. It is easy to read and use and my son has loved it as a bath toy also. It is durable and well constructed, but the batteries cannot be replaced. The first sign if the batteries going dead is the green light will cease to function. (It actually still works, but is so dim as to be useless.), then the yellow, then the red, then about two weeks later it is completely dead. We are having a hard time without it, as the other backup thermometer we have is a chemical strip and very hard to read. I would recommend buying this from a brick and mortar storefront, just because if it has been sitting around for a while and the batteries are dying/dead you can easily exchange it. If the batteries were replaceable it would have gotten 5 stars with a doubt. I do understand though, that it is difficult to make a safe and reliable electronic item that is designed to be fully submersible.
