They had open box units on sale.
HOLY CRAP IS IT NICE! (sorry to shout, but I am really stoked to brew with this thing). I have resisted due to price but decided I need a more reliable and fast thermometer. I tested it in an ice bath and the accuracy and speed were mind boggling. My usual thermometer works well and calibrates nicely in an ice bath, but it's 30 seconds to read my mash temp...for it to settle in on a temp. The thermapen was so fast I found it hard to believe.
I haven't brewed with it yet, but based on the performance I saw when checking calibration, I should have gotten one of these a long time ago.
