Taylor 13.25 Inch in/Out Dial Weather Thermometer - Teal

I bought this for my 91 year old mother who lives out in the desert and she loves it. She used to have a traditional mercury thermometer hanging on the wall and she would always have to go outside to read the small temperature scale next to the vertical mercury tube. With this one she can just look out the window and easily see what the temperature is without having to go outside. It is installed on the wall in a covered walkway between the house and garage. It is a light product but has been hanging on the wall with a single screw mount and hasn't moved or fallen off in over a year and it does get windy in the walkway. I haven't checked the accuracy against another thermometer but in the desert it gets cold at night and hot in the day. I talk to my mom every day on the phone and the first thing she always says is how hot or cold it is and she will mention temperatures anywhere from the 50s to the 100s depending on the season and time of day. So while it may not be accurate to the exact degree, it does change relative to the outside temperature and is perfect to gauge the temperature.

I live in Florida and have been looking for a nice all around outdoor thermometer and this one is really nice! It’s built nice too! Great size and has held up so far with this intense heat and the high rain storms that we also get !! I definitely recommend this! There wasn’t anything to set up at all I just took it out of the package and hung it up in my shed outside and it adjusted to the weather within minutes!

OK so this is a cheap bimetal thermometer, not some fancy digital, compensated or mercury-driven precision instrument. So don't expect more out of it than it's designed to deliver. Put it in a shady spot and it'll tell you the temp there. Put it in the sun and it'll heat up that bimetallic spring and tell you what it thinks of that. If you want a precision temperature indicator, this invention from the 1940s, encased in 2000s plastic, ain't what you're looking for. If you want a general idea of whether it's t-shirt or gloves weather out there, it's just fine. Oh and I do have a fancy, precision, compensated weather station at my house, and the outside temp right at my house is also shown on my Apple Watch (when I'm wearing it), so it's not like I don't have something for comparison.

Big and accurate. Easy to read from our deck and seems to be spot on as far as accuracy goes.

I've only had this wall thermometer for 6 weeks! The temp hasn't changed in the past 5 days, it's always 75 degrees (NOT). It is past the window to send back (BOO). I really like the appearance of this item BUT if it doesn't tell me the temp it is worthless to me.

Great outdoor thermometer

It is pretty hot here six months of the year, and we can reach triple digit temps as early as April, but July through September or October (depends if we have an Indian Summer) are dangerously hot and humid. Each Summer seems to be a little worse than the last, too, so this year I decided to hang an outdoor thermometre on my porch in order to keep an eye on the temperature and to know if I should go inside and/or make my dog go inside if the temperature goes much over 90 in the shade. I like pretty, cheerful things in the garden, so I first ordered a decorative thermometre in the shape of a Cardinal. It was pure junk. Next I ordered this Taylor model in the Teal colour, and it looks just like the photo. It arrived today, and it seems to register the correct temperature so far. It is at least 102 outside right now before the heat index is factored in, and it will likely reach 105-106 by 5 p.m.. This Taylor thermometre is made of an EXTREMELY cheap, thin plastic frame and a thin plexiglass cover. if it dropped to the ground, especially onto either cement or concrete or virtually any reasonably hard surface, it would be ruined, so I suggest you place it somewhere out of sunlight and most winds, and be sure to attach it to the wall as securely as possible. I have siding on my home, so I used a siding clip to hang it. It does not hang very securely on the clip at all, but since we have no wind now, I will take my time to figure out a better way to hang it on the siding without using screws or nails. I do not understand why they do not simply have a pyramid shaped hook or a keyhole shape on the back which would be much better than the style they are using. It has two grooves instead that are best designed to slide over fairly wide head screws or nails. That is fine if you want to hang it on a wood or a brick surface and you have the drill and the drill bits necessary to put in the screws/nails, but what if you want to hang it on siding or some other surface, or what if you do not have a drill and the correct drill bits? So far, this is the biggest issue for me. I wish it had a much better mounting system. If this thermometre would stand up to 5 or more years of use, then the price point would be fair enough. If it fails in under a year or in a little over a year, then the price is much too high. Only time will tell. I hung mine on my porch on the wall. The area that high up is pretty well sheltered from rain all year round. Wind will reach it, though, in Autumn, Winter, and Spring, so I really need to find a better way to secure it. For now, however, it seems to be working fine. If it turns stormy here on any day, I will rush to take it down before the wind can knock it down. If you are thinking of buying this model, just keep in mind that it is very cheaply made, and hanging it on the cutouts on the back may be more of a challenge than you might expect. Be sure to have a drill and the correct drill bits and screws on hand if you plan to put it on a wood or brick surface. It should give you a pretty accurate reading so long as you keep it out of sunlight. Amazon did not put any air pillows or paper or anything to protect it inside of the shipping box (shame on you Amazon!), so I was surprised it arrived without any cracks or major scratches on the bezel. ETA: I have used this thermometre for a few weeks now. It definitely was showing anywhere between 3 and 5 degrees cooler than it actually was outside. I researched how to calibrate it. Brought it indoors and let it sit near my HVAC thermostat for around three hours, and it definitely definitely was off by at least 3-4 degrees. Turned it over and turned the dial ever so slightly to the LEFT to move the needle up by 3-4 degrees. I have now placed it back outside and will check it later today to see how it is doing. For the price point, this will not give you total accuracy, but it gets reasonably close. A friend of mine is married to a hunter, and he and his hunting buddies use an app called Dark Skies which usually is spot on for the temperature and prediction of precipitation, etc. I used this app to check the temperature and compare it to what this thermometre reads. It is a good way to check it, so you might want to try Dark Skies or any other weather app you think is good.

Nice and big, easy to see on my front porch

Outside thermometer does not present a correct temperature . Hangs in a protected space but after a year it is useless, The large numbers were great for reading but not sensible temps. It reads approx 30 degrees higher temp than normal. Would love to return.

This arrived before date due, was packed well and everything worked when checked out with another temp gauge, would suggest to anyone looking for a outdoor or indoor Thermometer, good vaule at the price.

Perfect thank you
