Title: worked for several months
Product review: When I first turned this on after finding it on clearance at a local shop, I thought I'd scored a great deal. But now, just a few months later, only a few segments of the LCD display show up so it is hard to guess what the reading is.When that happens to other devices (usually after YEARS, not months) I generally just clean and reseat the LCD connection and it'll go years more without needing attention again. But the LCD connection in this gadget is a sort of one-use conductive adhesive tape. Maybe that can be reliable if they prepare the contact surfaces just right before sticking it down, but I'm guessing they don't.If you can find it at a price you don't mind shelling out again every heating season, it could still be ok, but even so I'm used to longer lifespans.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
