Nice little thermometer for the daytime

Comment:
We like this thermometer, but have been disappointed that it cannot be read at night, even if you shine a light on it. This is because it is clear and not white as it appears in the picture so the numbers blend in with the dark. I've taped a square of white paper on the back so it can be read with a flashlight, although the paper doesn't help unless a light is shined on it. I'm considering spray painting the back white, but I don't know if this would affect the temperature. The suction cup seems to stick to the window just fine, but we haven't had cold weather yet, and one reviewer said cold weather kept it from sticking. This little thermometer needs an update.

I have this product attached to my window or doors at all my homes around the world. I absolutely love it, especially when overseas and you have no idea how to convert celsius to fahrenheit numbers.

Comment:
I had one of these most of last winter. I have a window in the kitchen that a small thermometer like this one was perfect for. Takes up one small part of a pane and has a digital readout. Unfortunately all the other reviewers here that complain about the numbers being too light are absolutely correct. I could barely see the numbers unless I got real close. There is no brightness contrast to adjust and make it darker. You get what you get, which is lousy and hard to read. I tried moving it to another window but it was no better. The next move was the final one, to the trash can. If that isn't enough for you consider what the others have said here about it not being able to be seen at night. It does indeed need light from the outside to be shining through it. Just turning a bright light on in the room will do nothing. It remains in the dark and is therefore useless from dusk 'till dawn. All in all despite its accuracy and ease of use, this thermometer is not well thought out at all. Don't be fooled by the picture. The true readout is no where near that bright. Perhaps the other reviewers here that seem to have no problem in seeing the readout have better eyes than mine and the others. That's why a lot of digital item's such as this have a contrast adjustment that this is too cheap to have. And when it comes to night time nobody will be able to see it no matter how young or good your eyes are. Wanna take the chance? Don't waste your time. There are better choices...Avoid.

Packaging states "temps from -4C to 158C" - huh? Decent otherwise.

Comment:
I have only had this thermometer on my window for a day, and so far, it's working well.
That said, the packaging clearly states that it is good for temperatures from -4C to 158C. Seriously? Only -4C? For states in colder climates (like Michigan, where I am), that's a joke. And up to 158C? Are people in the Sahara buying these? Nowhere in the product description did it state the temperature range--otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it. This is why I am only giving it 3 stars.
But for $7 it will be fine for summer use.

Good at first

Comment:
I agree with "worthless". Very hard to read except on strong light days. Once it fell off the window it was not totally digital again...(Partial number segment reading). It seemed handy to use but not consistent. ....and how do you change the battery?
