Customer Rating: 
Summary: It measures temperature. 2008-07-23
Comment: This thermometer measures temperature, which is to say that it displays a reading of the thermal activity contained within the object into which one inserts it. It's flimsy, sure, but it's also long.
I give it four stars only because it would have been nice if it were powder coated in rainbow colors.

Summary: handle with care 2008-07-21
Comment: Mantis Compost Thermometer #201101These are tricky to handle; if you so much as twist the dial getting the thermometer out of the package it won't work very well, if at all. Instead, hold the thermometer by the probe. I use 2 of these in the barn to measure the temps on my hay bales and when handled correctly, they give very accurate temperature readings.

Summary: Cheaply made 2008-06-25
Comment: I ordered this from amazon as I do purchase frequently and usually have good results. Not so with this item. It was used once, maybe twice, when it stopped working: the needle wouldn't move off of 140F. With some experimenting, I found that when the probe was twisted, the needle would move proportionately. Somehow I don't think that's supposed to work in that fashion.
There are other compost thermometers out there; I think amazon may want to consider carrying the REOTemp brand insted of this.

Summary: Works good but priced a bit to high. 2008-05-07
Comment: Bought this a few months ago because my compost pile was steaming and I wanted to know the temp.
When it 1st arrived, I felt it was built cheaply. Then again, most things these days aren't built like they once were. But it's held up well.
It's been in my pile since day one and there's not a sign of rust or moister in the gauge.
So far so good, but I still feel it's over priced for a thermometer.

Summary: Doesn't work! 2008-04-06
Comment: Don't waste your money! Doesn't work at all! Gave it to my father for a birthday present and don't have the return stuff, so I am stuck with a nonworking thermometer.
