Lavatools Javelin® PRO Duo Ultra-Fast 1-Second Professional Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer for Grill and Cooking, Auto-Rotating Backlit Display, IP65 Water Resistant, NSF Certified – Maize

Received this as a Christmas gift and I really like it. It gives a temp reading fast and it seems accurate, definitely better than anything I had before this. Soon as you unlock the probe from the closed position, it turns on so it works it as position. The screen is lcd but has a button to press that backlights it so you can read it in the dark which is a great feature when grilling at night. It’s got magnets in the handle so I keep it stuck to the side of my microwave so it’s always a fast grab when I need it. I have used it quite often for the two months I’ve had it, and so far and it’s been great. Only time will tell how long it really lasts but I’m not expecting any issues.

As a late 20-something on a tight budget, I’ve tried a bunch of less expensive thermometers over the years & at various relatives homes, but finally got frustrated with their shakey accuracy and/or how quickly they break. After this one, I’ll never look back! This is 100% worth the price point. And it rivals the instant thermometers I used in professional sensory testing kitchens in college.Mine has been working perfectly for almost a year now, and it’s become my go-to housewarming gift for all my friends.I was a little worried that it was only described as “water-resistant,” since I’m definitely not the neatest cook. But I’ve rinsed the full base of mine under running water at least a few times now (only times it was really sticky!), and can confirm the display didn’t get all water-logged or foggy like i was worried about! Normally, i do just wipe down the probe portion with soapy water.The only criticism I have is that the magnet isn’t super strong, so it doesn’t stick to my fridge without sliding down when the door is opened. (It would probably stick to a metal grill though). I didn’t take off any starts because I don’t really care about to the magnet, (it was easily fixed by hanging it on a Command hook instead), but just a heads up for those who are really interested in that feature.Seriously though, if your hesitating between this and a cheaper model, just get this one. You won’t be disappointed and it will last much longer!

Purchased the green one in October of 2018. Still going strong and I don't think I have even replaced the battery. If I have it has only been once.Performs quickly, magnet works for my fridge and the side of the grill and the backlight comes in handy. Usuually the autorotate works well, although there are a few times where it might rotate when you would prefer it did not. But I'd rather suffer through those few times and have it, than not.Has survived several drops to concrete from BBQ grill level and have not had any problems with washing due to there are no mechanical buttons. All around, one of my favorite grilling tools if not my favorite.

This thermometer is spot-on!! I tested it in an ice bath as instructed, and was delighted to see it register 32°F. I actually bought it as an instant-read aquarium thermometer to ensure my Inkbird controllers are keeping the water at the desired temperature. All my aquarium thermometers are off by two or three degrees, and that can endanger fishes' health. It is super-easy to use and read, is magnetic so it stores on the side of my fridge, and I loved the selection of colors. The fish aren't frightened at all by wasabi green!😊

Javelin Pro Duo ( Black Ink)Initial thoughts after using for our first grilled meal.Un-boxing:The Javelin Pro Duo is packaged very similarly to its high end competitor.instruction book came in handy with clear graphics on all the features & includes good cooking temperature guidelines.I like the orange back-light of the limited edition model compared to the blueish back-light of the other models.Did an initial accuracy test with Ice bath- first in Fahrenheit then toggled the temperature to Celsius , removing the battery cover was quick and easy to remove, just used a coin ( battery is a lithium CR2032 battery.)once battery cover was off without needing to remove battery used a toothpick & toggled the first DIP switch up. to switch to Celsius.Ice bath test was accurate for both imperial & metric.For the real test- used it for a whole roast chicken on the Weber.by the time our chicken was 3/4 of the way done the sun had set and it was perfect setting to test the rotation and backlight of the javelin pro duo. numbers are very clear with the lighting read quickly.Works as advertised & feels solid in the hand.I haven't messed around with the other features. IMHO it works as advertised & well worth the price.With all the quarantine, we are stuck at home so going to be firing up the grill a lot.I will revisit this after a few months of use.

ive had a bunch of cheapo thermometers hanging around for a while and i finally decided to buy something that might actually be 'instant-read' and yo the quality difference is real and there. if you've been using the 10 dollar digital thermometers from the big name retail establishments this dude is a step up in functionality and i highly recommend it for the hobbyist baker or cook. it's got a strong magnet, quick response time and easy-to-read screen

Accurate. Quick reading. Easy to use and store. Easy to wash off the part you put in the meat. The water doesn’t bother it. Never had to replace the battery yet. Works great. Everything you’d expect from a great instant read.
