My oven has always been much hotter than the number on the dial. So, a while back, I bought this oven thermometer () which I hated because it was hard to read. So recently I bought this Sunbeam one and an MIU one () because it was 4 for 3 and I was tired of not knowing the oven temperature.Then I turned my oven on to somewhere between 325 and 350F, put all three thermometers in the same part of the oven, and let it heat for a while. After 10 or 15 minutes, I opened the door and took a picture of the thermometers so I could get their readings at the same time.The results were: Sunbeam: approx 380F MIU: approx 360F Taylor: approx 380FSo, the 380-degrees have it. Anyway, my cooking experiences have led me to believe that my oven is more likely to be off by about that much.The Sunbeam and the Taylor had the same temperatures, so the only difference between them is that the numbers on the Sunbeam are legible, and the Taylor costs three times as much.Hooray Sunbeam!Edit May 2015: My oven thermometer still works well, but it bears very little resemblance to the thermometer that is now pictured on this item. Given that the manufacturer and the face of the thermometer have both changed since I wrote my review in 2008, please take my earlier comments with a grain of salt.

We can't trust our oven temperature so had to get an oven thermometer. It works well. I'm not a fan of the base as it tips over easily and likes to fall to the bottom of the oven.

We purchased a high-end gas stove/oven that did not have a mechanical temperature pad. So, for the first time, I realized I did not know what temperature was truly in my oven. I purchased two thermometers, a Cook Rite and Good Cook. Both report the same temperature in different locations in my oven. The CookRite numbers are easier to read, but the metal stand tends to fall over after time. It has top hook that you can hang from a rack, but it doesn't fit in my rack well. The Good Cook has a slightly more solid metal stand and falls over less. Overall I am happy as this serves its purpose and is easy to use.

I've never needed an oven thermometer before. That is until I moved to California and my apartment had an electric stove.Me,only ever having used gas stoves, made the mistake of thinking that they were all the same. Well, my first meal in this oven was supposed to be meatloaf. I put the oven at 350, put the loaf in the oven and figured I'd have ample time to take a shower.Well 10 minutes later, my house was full of smoke and there was a lovely black brick of what used to be meat in my oven.After this little escapade, I was so paranoid about cooking anything in this oven, I would only set the thermostat to 150 and watch everything like a hawk.Then one day, I'm surfing on Amazon and see this little beauty. I ordered it immediately. I now know that my oven was cooking at at temperature above 500 degrees (the thermometer only reads up to 500) when I so innocently put it on to 350 so I could cook my meatloaf.The thermometer itself is very easy to read and can be put into the oven any number of ways, from sitting on a shelf to hanging from one. I am no longer afraid to use this oven and have made pies, cookies, cakes, pork chops, chicken and especially meatloaf several times now.No more burnt food, no more smoke filled house and I'm getting ready to re label my oven thermometer dial to what the temperatures really are now (200 will get me 375) so the next person that lives here won't have the same problem.Even if your oven thermostat is spot on, I would still get one of these, since you never know when it's going to decide to lose calibration and begin cooking at different temperatures.Happy Cooking!

The numbers and the needle work together to convey information without requiring me to get uncomfortably close.

I got this because it was cheap, looked easy to read, and my oven is highly questionable. All of those things were true and remain true. Now I have a problem: I'm not sure what to trust. The thermometer is almost as questionable as my oven.So I took the thermometer to work and tested it against an oven that I suspect is much more accurately calibrated and still no resolution. At home the thermometer reads that my oven is about 40 degrees hot. At work it reads that the oven is about 15 degrees hot.The fundamental concern is: if one buys the cheapest oven thermometer can it be so cheap that it can't be trusted to do the one thing it is designed to do?

large numbers.... and easy to read. I use it to often to check the accuracy of actual temperature in the oven. Either hangs or can stand. I usually hang it on the top rack.
