Taylor Big and Bold Wall Indoor Outdoor Thermometer, 13.25 inch, Silver

It is pretty hot here six months of the year, and we can reach triple digit temps as early as April, but July through September or October (depends if we have an Indian Summer) are dangerously hot and humid. Each Summer seems to be a little worse than the last, too, so this year I decided to hang an outdoor thermometre on my porch in order to keep an eye on the temperature and to know if I should go inside and/or make my dog go inside if the temperature goes much over 90 in the shade.I like pretty, cheerful things in the garden, so I first ordered a decorative thermometre in the shape of a Cardinal. It was pure junk. Next I ordered this Taylor model in the Teal colour, and it looks just like the photo. It arrived today, and it seems to register the correct temperature so far. It is at least 102 outside right now before the heat index is factored in, and it will likely reach 105-106 by 5 p.m..This Taylor thermometre is made of an EXTREMELY cheap, thin plastic frame and a thin plexiglass cover. if it dropped to the ground, especially onto either cement or concrete or virtually any reasonably hard surface, it would be ruined, so I suggest you place it somewhere out of sunlight and most winds, and be sure to attach it to the wall as securely as possible.I have siding on my home, so I used a siding clip to hang it. It does not hang very securely on the clip at all, but since we have no wind now, I will take my time to figure out a better way to hang it on the siding without using screws or nails. I do not understand why they do not simply have a pyramid shaped hook or a keyhole shape on the back which would be much better than the style they are using. It has two grooves instead that are best designed to slide over fairly wide head screws or nails. That is fine if you want to hang it on a wood or a brick surface and you have the drill and the drill bits necessary to put in the screws/nails, but what if you want to hang it on siding or some other surface, or what if you do not have a drill and the correct drill bits? So far, this is the biggest issue for me. I wish it had a much better mounting system.If this thermometre would stand up to 5 or more years of use, then the price point would be fair enough. If it fails in under a year or in a little over a year, then the price is much too high. Only time will tell. I hung mine on my porch on the wall. The area that high up is pretty well sheltered from rain all year round. Wind will reach it, though, in Autumn, Winter, and Spring, so I really need to find a better way to secure it. For now, however, it seems to be working fine. If it turns stormy here on any day, I will rush to take it down before the wind can knock it down.If you are thinking of buying this model, just keep in mind that it is very cheaply made, and hanging it on the cutouts on the back may be more of a challenge than you might expect. Be sure to have a drill and the correct drill bits and screws on hand if you plan to put it on a wood or brick surface. It should give you a pretty accurate reading so long as you keep it out of sunlight.Amazon did not put any air pillows or paper or anything to protect it inside of the shipping box (shame on you Amazon!), so I was surprised it arrived without any cracks or major scratches on the bezel.ETA: I have used this thermometre for a few weeks now. It definitely was showing anywhere between 3 and 5 degrees cooler than it actually was outside. I researched how to calibrate it. Brought it indoors and let it sit near my HVAC thermostat for around three hours, and it definitely definitely was off by at least 3-4 degrees. Turned it over and turned the dial ever so slightly to the LEFT to move the needle up by 3-4 degrees. I have now placed it back outside and will check it later today to see how it is doing. For the price point, this will not give you total accuracy, but it gets reasonably close.A friend of mine is married to a hunter, and he and his hunting buddies use an app called Dark Skies which usually is spot on for the temperature and prediction of precipitation, etc. I used this app to check the temperature and compare it to what this thermometre reads. It is a good way to check it, so you might want to try Dark Skies or any other weather app you think is good.

For the price, this is a nice looking thermometer. Very easy to read, looks nice, easy to hang. But....I really question it's accuracy. it shows it to be MUCH warmer outside than it actually is, and this thermometer is hanging in the shade. Spend more and get a better quality one.

Easy to Read as Described and we are okay with it. The only reason didn’t give it 5 stars is because it’s so very lightweight it could blow away if not hung up properly. Feels a little cheap…just wish it was made of a heavier material. That being said…we are in our 70’s and really do appreciate being able to read it easily from our dining room window.

Our attractive outdoor thermometer is so easy to read, seems accurate and is so cute!

It is shatter proof and I needed that because the wind blew off the previous one and it fell and shattered.

Color is as depicted (I got purple) and the display is large and clear. For the price, I wasn't expecting much, but I was hoping for close to accurate temps. It's fine, if the sun is behind cloud cover. I will put it in a shady location and hope the accuracy comes within a few degrees.

Nice BIG face makes it easy to read.

I am not sure if it is totally accurate, it seems comparable to the Weather Channel local temps. I love it on my deck, where I can see it easily from my kitchen window. And I love the orange rim. All in all, a great value and really nice outdoor thermometer.

Instant return. I opened the box to discover that the thermometer has no additional packaging aside from the box it’s mounted in. The entire face of the thermometer is scratched and it is very cheap looking. So disappointed.

Bonito diseño, buen constraste y fácil de leer. Sin embargo... no funciona!!!. Plásticos muy delgados y frágiles. Da lecturas falsas con 6 grados de error. Se rompió al tratar de ajustar la lectura. no lo pude regresar por no conservar el empaque original. dinero tirado a la basura.

I needed a bigger thermometer that I could read from my Patio window winter or summer. You need a post to mount it on a nail

Perfect thank you

El tamaño es lo mejor
