I had the same experience as the guy before: water got in, the screen fogged, more water got in, and it stopped showing anything on the screen. So, no matter how accurate this thing is or isn’t, I’d have no idea, because I can’t see the freakin’ temperature any more. This is my second–and last–Taylor that doesn’t work as advertised.

The thermometer fell into a sink full of water and flooded. It is definately not waterproof.

Used it yesterday for the first time on a turkey breast. I’ve never had a more tender, juicy turkey. Easy to use.

I have had it for over a year.
A bit slow to get the final temperature –can take 30 secs to read 220 degrees.
Not suitable for candy/jelly making because steam gets inside.
Construction is lightweight. After it started failing, I tried to remove the battery. Trying to remove the flimsy battery cover broke it. No markings for neg/pos position of battery. Battery contacts had corroded slightly.
Ok to use for checking food temperature, meat etc in a non-steamy environment. Expect it to last 1-2 years with light to moderate use then throw it away.

Even when you place the probe before turning the unit on, it takes 5-7 seconds to get a read. This greatly reduces accuracy when checking the internal temp of large cuts of meat and predisposes to over cooking. Accuracy in liquids or anything with a uniform temperature however is excellent.
