Clearly, the British Racing Green Thermapen is the fastest. It arrived a full 24 hours ahead of schedule. Practically before I even knew I wanted to order it.
Here she is, sporting her protective silicone boot.
It was $69 on the open box special, plus $8 for the boot. Came in a box, not a blister pack, but appears to be brand new and has the warranty info and calibration cert. AND, they put a little bag of Jelly Bellies in the box too!!
Preliminary testing shows it to be pretty dead on accurate and lightning fast. I did notice that switching the sensitivity from 00.˚ to 00.0˚ added about a second to the read time as the tenths of a degree fluctuated a bit. No biggie, I can live with it. It'll still get in the ball park in under a second, and the last 2.5-3 seconds are spent zeroing in. Usually the change in the last couple seconds is 1.5˚ to 2˚.
Disclaimer: I have owned this for all of 10 minutes. So take my review with the grain of salt one should always afford those afflicted with "kid with a new toy" syndrome.
