Mainstays Analog ABS Fridge Thermometer for Freezer Refrigerator Cooler

I have more faith in these old fashioned thermometers than the dial type or digital refrigerator. Those are certainly easier to read, but I've found them to be inaccurate more often than I would like. I wish the safety zone for the optimal temp for keeping refrigerated foods was more pronounced, but there were not many options available in the store the day I needed it. If you are not pressed for time, I recommend looking for one that is a little more clearly marked. I found that this model has a built in "clip" that fits perfectly over the adjustable trays on the back wall of my fridge so I do not have to rely on the suction cups to hold it in place and at a level that is perfect for viewing that red indicator line. I got this to check the accuracy of a new refrigerator before we loaded it up with food. The cost is nothing compared to finding out that your brand spanking new refrigerator is NOT as cold as it should be and you have to throw out food that should have lasted much longer. (I won't even go into the process of getting the faulty fridge replaced!) Sadly, that is a real concern these days with even the "well-known" and more expensive brands that have been around for decades. If you are in the market for a new refrigerator, just take a look at the reviews on any website that sells large home appliances. It doesn't seem to matter how much you pay, there is a 10-20% chance you will get one that will need a repair or replacement. It happened to me, and it happened to a family member who had to return TWO brand new fridges before getting one that worked properly.
