I can't believe a $100 thermometer comes in a .50 cent casing. A high end kitchen thermometer that's totally not waterproof? If you open up the case (which I had to do after a light rain), you'll see that the wire which attaches the probe to the main unit is thin as a hair. And then if you want to send it back to get repaired, 40 bucks. I like the big display and the quickish speed, but I would never buy one again. There are other thermometers out there that are almost as quick, built better, and cheaper.
