I was sent TF5000(model) to test out. So we will start out with the stats of the thermometer. It is made of hard plastic and seems like it is extremely durable. On the panel there is a LCD screen for the read out with large numbers. There are 6 buttons on the control panel. These buttons are very clear and easy to use functions. It has the IPX7 rating for being water proof. I had to look what that meant up! "Puddle, stream, beer cooler and splash rated - Protected against water immersion - Immersion for 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter." It is rated to handle temperatures from -58 to 572 degrees F. plus or minus 2 degrees. That means this thing is remarkable accurate on temperature readings. It comes with a protective sleeve for the probe that has a pocket clip.
My experience with this has been great with very little dislike. To start off this thing makes taking temperatures very easy. Insert the probe and it will display the temperature for about 5 seconds. Next thing it is super simple to change from C/F with the push of one button. The LCD screen has a nice large read out display on the temperatures. For the working purposes of this unit it is a great addition to making sure food is prepared at sufficient temperatures. This unit is also dishwasher safe.
There is not much to dislike about this unit. I do have some small issues that do not impede the use of this though. They are, the LCD screen does not have a backlight so if you are out at the BBQ grill after dark it can make it more difficult to get the temps. The other small thing I seen I did not like about it was the pocket clip on the probe protector. It is the only part of the probe that is not made with the very durable plastic the rest is made with. It seems like it will be easy to break.
If you are in the market for a quick easy to use thermometer, then the TF5000 from MeasuPro is a good product to start with. I would like to thank MeasuPro and affiliates for sending me the TF5000 thermometer to try out and leave my opinion.
