* Truly instant read (< 3 seconds)
* Easy to read - large digits are easy to see even in low light and from an angle, unlike an analog dial model.
* Single button toggles between display of temp in English and metric units
* Wipes clean
* Flat edge on display keeps it from rolling off the counter
* Very accurate (Is 32.1 F for ice water accurate enough for you? Works for me.)
* Easy to calibrate (if ever necessary)
* Reasonable price

Technical notes -- the package for mine says it goes from -40 to 450F, and does not mention if the product is dishwasher-safe. I have always hand-washed mine. The thermometer has a 5 year warranty.
I've had this thermometer for several months and am quite pleased. I calibrated it when I opened the package [per the instructions], and have had very good results with my meats. I love that the sensor is in the tip; most instant-read thermometers want you to insert the probe an inch or more!
There is a "hold" button on the head, so the thermometer will retain the temperature for you to view in better light.
I've used it for chicken, pork, and steak. I haven't tried it yet with fish, but with the sensitive tip, I'm betting it will work great. I'm really hoping this thermometer is a helper in my kitchen for years to come!

Update:
My Proaccurate (DTQ450) thermometer started to give me problems. I would stick it in the meat and it would intermittently just show ---- dashes. This was very frustrating. I called CDN and spoke to Judy and they said that this sometimes happens if you chip the red paint on the end. I was not aware that this was that easily damaged. After speaking with Judy, I asked if they would exchange it for a more durable model. No problem, they recommended the q2-450x as more durable but it has a different shape and would not read quite as fast, maybe a few seconds slower. Note the "x" at the end of the pn, that is the one without the delicate paint. Got the new one, and I like the different shape OK but indeed it is a few seconds slower. Not a problem for me, it works just fine. While I am not happy that I had problems with the original thermometer, I was very impressed with how quickly CDN fixed it. It was a little rough without the thermometer for a week, but now we are back to perfectly cooked meat!
Original comment:
I wasn't the type to use a thermometer when grilling.....always just guessed by time and by how it looked on the outside. I was pretty good at it but is was still hit and miss. With this little device, you get the meat just how you like it. Great to ensure chops are not overcooked and tough. Gives the temp within seconds, I love it, wouldn't grill without it.
You get what you pay for, and thats great! July 30, 2007

I use this for low and slow bbqing and I like it straightforward design. It doesn't light up or, beep, or email you, but it has more functions than I would use. The factory calibration was within .3 degrees farenheit, so I left it alone. It gave fast readings, and was easy to use. It also has a protective plastic holder which has the doneness for various meats printed on it, in case you forget. I am very happy with this purchase, and feel it was a good value. Not a bargain, but certainly not a disappointment.
