Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mantis 201101 Compost Bin Thermometer
Customer Review: Regardless of negative reviews - I bought and it failed miserably
Summary: 1 Stars
I figured I would give this item a try even though there were quite a few negative reviews. The item was shipped and received the day after I had bought it here at amazon (new - not used). I was caught off-guard when the thermometer was shipped in a piece of folded cardboard and not in a box. Upon opening the package the thermometer did have its own box, but whomever shipped it decided to crush it in a cardboard sandwich which might have worked quite well except the thermometer stem which has the same strength as the am/fm antenna on your car had a nice big bend in it. However, even this didn't deter me as I figured the technology in thermometers is proven and the bend wasn't a crease - so I straightened out the stem and stuck it in my composter. My pile had been going for four days and was nitrogen rich, so when I stuck the thermometer in and it read 75 degrees F I knew it wasn't working (It was July in Dallas and our daily temperatures average 3 digits alone - nevermind the heat generated by decomposition). To confirm this though I did stick a digital thermometer into the middle of the pile and it instantly read 105 degrees F. Thermometer might have worked if it wasn't packaged improperly; however, I still would be unsatisfied with the overall quality and durability of this item in correlation with its price tag. Mine is being returned and I think I'm just going to use a simple and cheap digital meat thermometer for my compost since it seems to work so well and gives an instant reading.
