Need a new thermometer

[Sulfuriois]

Can anyone recommends good digital quick read thermometer? The one I had turns out wasn't waterproof. I saw this one listed on homebrew finds but there are some mixed reviews onAmazon.

How about a Thermapen? They're a bit pricey, around $90. But they're the rolls royce of themometers. Splashproof and instant read, and you won't have to worry about any 1 star reviews. Alton brown personally endorses them

While it's nice, those are a little out of my price range. I'm not that good of a brewer yet.

How about one like this?

I have one and it seems to match my lab grade thermometer and the temperature is easier to read. It isn't waterproof though but it reads quick enough that I can hold it in my hand so it doesn't get wet.

I also have one like this that was very accurate until I dropped it to the floor. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/dial-thermometer.html

Now it sticks a bit so it isn't as accurate as I would like but still within a few degrees.

I love my thermoworks 12" waterproof unit, think it's still on sale.

This is the one I use. http://thermoworks.com/products/low_cost/rt301wa.html

Basically two for one for a limited time. Quick cheap and accurate.

I'm ordering spares.
