Taylor Precision 5154 Wall Thermometer

These thermometers are accurate and easy to read. I used them in a science classroom for grades 1-8. We were testing temperatures of water and made the mistake of putting them in boiling water…. And they broke! Oops! The red liquid came out into the water and we had to through it away. At least they don’t use mercury anymore and no one touched it 😬. It was my mistake- boiling water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit and these thermometers don’t go up that high. The kids thought it was cool that they got to see thermometers break though!

Don’t buy it..mercury is completely separated. Unreadable junk

Muy preciso

broken on arrival and no returns apparently , useless

I needed one for my room because the central heat and air duct was destroyed to my bedroom by my nieces cats when they got under the house and now my room is an absolute furnace inside in the hot weather and I kept saying that it was too hot in there for me to stand it so I bought an old faithful thermometer instead of spending all that money for these new expensive electronic ones. The last electronic one I bought lasted about 2 months if that and I am still not so sure if I ever actually got a correct temp. reading on that electronic one. It has not been as hot as usual for August here in NC but more hot days are coming and my new thermometer will read about 90 degrees by noon and has gone up to 98 degrees on a few days. That is just way too hot to sit in your bedroom. Just sitting at my desk on the computer with my shirt off when it is that hot, the sweat just rolls off of you. It is miserable so I had to buy a big 16 inch reversible window fan so I can pull the heat out and then pull fresh air in. I have to keep my bedroom door closed at all time because those cats will not only destroy everything but make a mess in the floor, not using the litter box and I just cannot have that, I draw the line there and the cats have already destroyed the rest of the house. Anyway, you can't go wrong with a simple mercury thermometer and this one is under $10 bucks and works just fine and I expect a long life out of it.
