Snap. Works great for me as well
I did wonder about the temperature at the top on the fv compared to the middle and bottom. But its not that much in reality. with a dangle probe how much of the dangly bit reads the temperature I've put a IR Temp gun at the bottom middle and top of an fv filled with wort and used a thermapen clone to check the temp and they are within a degree of each other when measuring the surface.
I’ve got one of those too ( Christmas present) Use it once and the display steamed up with condensation had to leave it in a zip lock bag full of rice for a couple of days to fix it !
I might have just had a bad one fingers crossed that you will be fine
I share custody with the wife who uses it daily for cooking , lasted at least two years so far
I killed my Thermapen Classic by accidentally sticking the hinge part into liquid, which isn't sealed fully. That caused the switching contacts to rust. Managed to get it working again by opening it up and cleaning it, but I upgraded to the waterproof Pro model and that's been going strong for 6 years and is reliably accurate.
