Tools and Hardware Reviews of Taylor 5460 Indoor/Outdoor Minimum/Maximum Thermometer, -40 to 120 Degree F
Customer Review: What happened with the QC/QA?
Summary: 1 Stars
Since I used Taylor thermomether before and for some years; I went ahead and ordered 4 new ones. This time I ordered the mercury free ones. Saddly none of the new thermometers worked fine. In all cases the floaters got stuck in the column and the liquid passed by the sides making the reading unacurate. The problem for me is not only to loose the company's money but that I recommended the thermometers since they worked fine. Now as other customers I am considering other options because I do not want to fail again with my Company.Customer Review: It don't work!
Summary: 1 Stars
When I received the thermometer, the high temperature black indicator bar was completely out of the temperature section and floating up in the right bulb. With a great deal of patience, my wife FINALLY got the indicator back into the temperature section. We then put the thermometer out to test it's operation. This time the LOW temperature indicator bar got stuck between 78 and 82 degrees. No matter what we did (put it in the hot sun, put it in the freezer) that bar would not move. I chucked it.Customer Review: Taylor failure
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had Taylor thermometers before. They worked quite well in all types of conditions. This particular unit, however, does not work. The fluid flows around the floats that are intended to measure the high and low temperatures. There is no way to re-set these floats... including freezing the unit or subjecting it to centrifugal acceleration. I am sorry that I will have to consider other brands in the future.Customer Review: Fairly Accurate
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a reasonably accurate thermometer, unlike most of the digital and large-size thermometers. I've had one for 15 years and will replace it with another because the printing is finally corroding away. Yes, the numbers are small and the min-max markers sometimes take a little fiddling with. Obviously it's not completely fool-proof but it is an inexpensive way to know what the temperature is and has been.Customer Review: A Waste of Time and $$
Summary: 1 Stars
Like others reviewing this product, I was disappointed. I ordered two, one was broken and the other one will not read temperature correctly. The bars indicating high and low temperature points have disappeared and I am unable to clear the airspace that has formed in the blue liquid. Construction is cheap and is below my expectations. I'll be returning these right away. . . .
