I was reading an article about the top 5 meat thermometers being sold on Amazon.  Anyone have any of these and are they any good? We have the much more expensive Therma-pen,but I sure like these price points:

1. Habor Meat Thermometer, $10.59

2. ThermoPro TP03 Digital Meat Thermometer, $12.99

3. Kizen Read Meat Thermometer, $19.95 

4. GDealer DT6 Di Meat Thermometer, $19.99 (regular price) now $13.99 (30% off)

5. Alpha Grillers Meat Thermometer, $29.97 (regular price) now $17.97 (40% off)

IMO, it's hard to beat the ThemoPop for what it costs, especially when there's any kind of sale or open box specials. Everyone else is trying to match ThermoWorks performance anyway. I know it isn't a direct answer to your question, but is far less of a gamble than these less established brands. The newer Pops with the thinner probe and faster read time have curbed all my temptations for a ThermaPen.

I cant speak for any of those. But I have used a few Amazon thermometers before getting my thermapen and I would never recommend one over the thermapen. The thermopop goes on sale for $25 sometimes. I have one of those in my bbq to go bag, and the the thermapen stays at home.

This is a good one too in addition to the ThermoPop.  Sometimes it is on sale for $15-$20 for open box.

I have 2 of the thermopro TP18 a step above the TP03 listed. It is accurate right with my thermapens, it says 3 seconds but i isn't as fast to stabilize as the thermapens.  They show 20 bucks with a 5% off currently, I think when I bought mine they were on sale.

I can't speak to any of those that Amazon sells... But I can tell you that I love the Thermoworks Thermopop... I got one on sale a few years back, for like $25.    I liked it so much, the next time I saw a sale, I bought two more.   I love having 3 of them, (together they were about the same price as a MK4 on sale) because I am somewhat forgetful, and tend to occasionally misplace things.   So far I haven't misplaced all three at once.

  My wife, who's not much of a cook, is now regularly using the Thermopop to check to make sure stuff she cooks is actually done...   that in itself , is in my mind proof that they are about as great as you can get from a relatively cheap instant read thermometer.

  Waterproof....  I dropped one last winter out in the snow... didn't find it for 2 months, still worked when I found it. 

No complaints at all about the Thermopop, nothing but high praise for them, especially if you can get one on sale.

Durability and long life would be my main concern.  I know that the ThermoWorks and my Mavericks have been pretty good over the test of time.

I have a graveyard of thermometers that I went through before I started buying from Thermoworks. Now I will not buy from anyone else. No more economy thermometers for me.

I have a Thermopen MK4, ThermaQ Two Channel, and a Chef Alarm, along with a collection of probes. I will probably get an IR Thermometer.

The DOT and the ThermoPop are probably good alternatives if you want to save some money.

 One thing that is important to me is SERVICE.  A company one can communicate with and achieve positive results, back their products and preform repairs, all at an affordable price.  To me that's

Thermoworks..Of course their products are tops. I also enjoy their constant blurbs - advertising related but informative..

As a matter of fact, the Thermopen is on sale at this wrighting @ -20%.

I've had (and tossed) so many over the years. Until I got the Thermopen. I have three of them here and there around the kitchen and smoker. Gave one to each of the kids one Christmas. My son-in-law sat his on a hot burner. Melted it, but it still worked!

I did get a Meater block, I'm kind of a sucker for Kickstarter stuff. I've only tried it once but it seems pretty good. Software was real close on predicting the resting temp rise.

Thermoworks is selling what they describe as "Open Box" Thermopop instant read thermometers for $23.50 + Shipping.

If I didn't already own three of them, I'd order a couple

[LowSlowJoe]

it's a 'private' sale...  I sent you the link in a private message...

if you belong to their mailing list, you'd have a email about it, with the link.
