Cheap, poorly made. The dials are loose and if you barely, barely touch it the dials drop down. It is impossible to keep a true reading of the temperature highs and lows.

Other reviews noted poor quality and they’re correct. I had high hopes that I’d get a good one but didn’t. The dial indicators don’t have enough friction to hold their positions so it’s impossible to move the unit without the settings shifting around…it’s just worthless. Sad part is that it would work fine with just a bit more quality control.

The max min indicators are so loose that they fall down to the bottom of the display settings under their own weight if you as much as move the meter. The Dial size is great and easily visible but as a Max Min device it is useless if gravity alone can move the max min indicators to their end stop positions.

The dial is easy to read in Celsius; the Fahrenheit scale is really small. One resets the min and max pointers by turning the white knob, which is connected to a lever that can be used to push the min clockwise and the max counter-clockwise. (You must then turn the knob to get the lever to point downwards; otherwise, it will prevent a pointer from moving.) The black temperature pointer, which appears to be quite accurate, pushes the min and max pointers, so no battery is needed.The first device that I received had a very weak connection between the reset knob and its lever: one had to turn and turn to get enough friction to move the lever. The min max pointers were also *very* loose: the slightest vibration (even on another refrigerator shelf) caused them to drop. Useful to tell you if you've had an earthquake, but not for measuring temperature.Amazon was incredible about their return of this device--so many easy options! The replacement device has a working reset knob, and the min max pointers are a lot less sensitive, but they still move with vibrations such as putting a jar on the shelf next to the thermometer. I suspect that I'll have to return this one, too, and try a different product.My "accuracy" rating is the balance between the black temperature pointer (high) and the min/max (low); my "easy to read" rating is the balance between Celsius (high) and Fahrenheit (low).

Not many thermometers like this. Love the min/max feature. Didn't notice the big numbers were metric, my bad.When I received it, my min arm was stuck, I was able to correct that, My max arm is loose, can't fix. No biggie, I can work around it. Nice product for the price. I am ok with the failures due to its price. I would Buy again. It's cheap, in all ways of the word.

Feels a little flimsy, but it works perfectly.

I was looking for a min/max non-digital thermometer that is not the style most are (bars of mercury in a U-shape that reset with the press of button). The common problem with the U-shaped thermometers is that the mercury often doesn't maintain a solid column, but instead splits apart into many small pieces that no longer reset. This H-B Durac Bi-Metallic thermometer is totally different, but I've found that it sometimes does not push the low and high properly. I've also found that the knob that twists the blue and red needles sometimes loses connection with the needles and doesn't actually move them. I would not buy this model again.

This is a decent design concept, but it is completely screwed up in this implementation. The min and max pointers are intended to tuck under the main pointer when resetting. But in fact they do not fit that way at all. They bump into the main pointer The closest I can get the min and max to reset position is 1 and 2 degrees C respectively. So right off, the total error is 3 degrees C. Furthermore, the F scale is tiny and is mainly hidden behind the three pointers. This is a totally useless device at a ludicrous price. Skip it.
