— Chris

"The suction cup was one of the rare ones that held well, but I noticed the readout fading after a couple of days. Replaced the battery (it comes with two) and once again, it failed in a day. I don't think the battery compartment was fully waterproof; there appeared to be corrosion. I'd avoid this on..."

Bottom Line

Given the consistent reports of short lifespan and inaccurate readings, it's best to look for alternative thermometers for your aquarium.
