Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mantis 201101 Compost Bin Thermometer
Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
This thermometer is the perfect size for my 3'x 3' compost bin. It adjusts so quickly. When I first inserted the thermometer into my compost pile, I could watch the temperature indicator instantly rise from 60 degrees to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a great tool for those of you that want to know the heat of the center of your pile at a glance.The dial includes both Fahrenheit and Celcius scales.
Customer Review: Good while it lasted
Summary: 1 Stars
This temperature probe only lasted me about two weeks. I stuck it into my compost pile about 10" and when I tried to pull it out, the head of the unit popped off. I wouldn't say that I was pulling hard, I think it was a spot weld or just some friction holding it on, not very securely. Anyhow, I tried to put it back on but the unit would no longer show temperature changes.Customer Review: Broke after 10 days
Summary: 1 Stars
I opted to purchase this despite some negative reviews from Amazon customers and I must say I'm disappointed with this thermometer. Mine worked fine for a week and then broke ... it now says the temperature outside (not in my compost pile) is 135 degrees. For the price, I needed something sturdier. I will try a new brand.Customer Review: It measures temperature.
Summary: 4 Stars
This thermometer measures temperature, which is to say that it displays a reading of the thermal activity contained within the object into which one inserts it. It's flimsy, sure, but it's also long.
I give it four stars only because it would have been nice if it were powder coated in rainbow colors.
