I have one of these and I haven't had any problems with it that I know of yet. The only problem I have with it is that it takes a little while to get to the current temp. But it seems to work like a beauty. Does anyone have any problems with them?

I have one and agree that it is VERY slow to get to the correct temperature. I almost have to leave it on for an hour or so, especially if I move it at all (i.e. from hot to cold side). I will be purchasing a temp gun soon for faster readings.

I've got 3 different thermometers I use with my incubating eggs.....one is from ProExotics, with a probe, one is a generic Walmart one with a probe, and then I use my temp gun. I still get 3 different temps with all 3.....hm.

How do you test the accuracy of them? I'd really like to know which one to trust.....though there isn't a huge difference, I'd feel better knowing.

Honeslty the only way to be completly sure is to get a top of the line thermometer and see which is closest. Most cheap thermometers are fairly accurate to within a couple degrees.. I have a few that I found on clearence at lowes for 99 cents that are 1/10 a degree off my fluke IR gun...
