How accurate is it? Does it give you the exact temperature or is it within a few degrees?

It seems to be fairly accurate but would say it is probably within a few degrees of exact temperature. If exact temps are critical for your use, I would look for a product that guarantees accuracy.

I have never used it to check oven temperature. I bought it to check the air temperature from the ac vent. It works fine. I would not say it's very accurate. I would accept + - 1 or 2 degree.

If the Thermometer is calibrated using the correct process it is 100% accurate.Watch this quick video http://cooknstuff.net/calibrate/

There is no exact temperature setting, however, it works well you will just have to play with it to find the temp you want for your area

It is very accurate and I place it on the oven since the begining, so when the oven is hot the thermometer has gone at the same pace. I will buy it again

I don't recall if the temps were on it. It was very difficult to read. I ditched the unit shortly after purchasing. As I recall, I had to make a mark so I knew where "off" was. It's one of those you-get-what-you-pay-for items. I'd spend a bit more and get something a little nicer. Sorry I couldn't be more positive about it :( ~~Susan~~

It was calibrated at the factory and I have checked its accuracy with thermostat and other thermometers. I am satisfied. I wish it was a little faster.

If you keep it inside and don't subject it to temperature changes, it is very accurate. If you bring it in from a cold garage and start weighing bullets for an hour it will warm up and loose calibration.

I've been pleased with mine. It seems to be accurate (i.e. meat does not seem to be undercooked). It also helped when the pop up button on the turkey didn't work. I find it really helpful when re-heating casseroles when the internal temp needs to be high enough to kill the bad guys. I like having the temp registering outside the oven. Haven't tried it on the grill. The only problem I've had is remembering that the part that goes in the oven gets hot!

The one that I have is almost exact. I checked it with another thermometer and the difference was 1 degree. I have had 2 of these and been pleased.

Lake Rat is correct. It can read the surface temp, but not internal temp; therefore, it won't be as accurate. You will need to get a normal thermometer.

Lol. I have used it but not sure how accurate it is. The person was running a little hot. I would have a regular thermometer just in case.

That's the only thing I've used it for! I dip it a few inches into the water, hold it there for about 30 seconds, and the gauge will read accurate temp.

I doubt that it is "accurate" in terms of being calibrated to any significant extent. I just line the up the disk to where I want it and it is very close to my floor pumps reading. I just use it to finish my ride if I get a flat. If I'm within 10 psi I'm happy enough to get home.

The thermometer measures in degrees Fahrenheit. Each mark on the circle is 2 degrees, but there is enough space that I feel comfortable enough reading it to an accuracy of 1 degree. The unit's overall accuracy to "official" temperatures is within a degree. At very cold temperatures (below freezing), it seems to read about a degree higher than official/digital temperatures, but I honestly think that's because there is some small amount of heat leaving the house to cause it to read a little higher. I do not notice it to read cooler than actual during summer time. Honestly, I really like this and I'm seriously thinking of getting another to put outside my bedroom window.

I did check the accuracy with boiling water when I first got it. It was accurate to within 1°F as I recall, and didn't re-calibrate my unit. The unit has operated perfect for me. No complaints.

Yeah, it seems to not be all that accurate. I use a Bluetooth ambient gauge and monitor temp that way. You could probably swap out the thermometer with another but I've found this solution fits my needs better.
