I have the therm I like but I've got to admit I love the ad copy. With "brown is a comforting...color" and comparing it to chocolate and ribeye steaks and the like, and with "some people say Brown Thermapens are the fastest" it's hilarious and would most likely convince me to buy one if I was in the market. One of the most creatively funny ads I've ever read.

52 Amazon reviews averaging over 4 stars out of 5 with a magnetic back like all my probe therms with a 4 sec. read for $24.99. I'm asking for it for Xmas. Thanks for the tip.
Why spend 80 something dollars when you can get just about the same thing for $25?
I bought one a couple months ago and I've never looked back
I've used my Thermapen for about 10 years now, including 2 years at our beach house in the Bahamas where the salt air killed just about every other electronic gadget I own, and my original Thermapen is still kicking. It's on its 3rd battery, and I count on it for just about every piece of meat I cook, indoors and out.
Good find, if it works as advertised! I've never heard of this brand before, but many others have made similar claims, but so far only the thermapen has lived up to them. Order one,try it out and if it works submit a review and save some folks some money!

Thanks for the reminder SB59. You saved me the time to look up this thread. I just did the water tests and it's still at my girlfriends house. I need to get it home to take a pic for the review. It'll be on this thread soon.

It is if the range of the therm is between -40*F and +482*F and your checking the temp of a healthy human. The therm doesn't know what it's being stuck into. Did you not see the results from the ice water and boiling?

It tested 98.5*F under the tongue. So far so great!
You know that's not the most accurate place to check your temp.!
Your handle is Dr K and you didn't get the pun?

lol it went right over my head. Probably because I'm not a doctor. How ironic. The handle came from grade school when I was playing basketball with a soccer ball since I didn't have a basketball.

I couldn't justify it either for a one second difference in speed. You can almost get four thermowands for the price of one Thermapen. Thermapens maybe made better but they don't have a lifetime warranty like the Thermowand. I've been reading people paying a service fee for having the Thermapen repaired. You tube has a video on How a thermapen is made and a review on the Thermowand. It seems like a nerve wracking delicate process to build these therms with the hair sized wires and tiny solder joints.
My Thermowand arrived just in time for Christmas Prime Rib. Tested and it was 32F ice bath, 21F2 boil. I just couldn't justify $90 for a Thermopen. Even though I'm sure the build quality is better, the Thermowand seems to be well made and should last for years.
