Waterproof? Dishwasher proof? LIES!!! This thing spend less than 2 minutes in my dishwasher @ 140F. In that time water got under the front plastic on the display and the plastic covering the buttons came up as well. Had to completely remove the plastic coverings to get the water out of it. I wouldn't even trust these to be hand washable if you needed to clean them. If you need waterproof and dishwasher friendly, I can whole heartedly recommend the Cooper Atkins DPP800W MAX 4" Waterproof Digital Pocket Probe / Dishwasher Thermometer (273DPP800W). This unit survived my dishwasher test with no issues whatsoever. I bought 3 different thermometers - 2 from Taylor - they both FAILED, and one from Cooper Atkins - it PASSED and works great!

We appreciate your review, Josh. We wish this Taylor 9878E 5 inch Waterproof Digital Pocket Probe Thermometer with Backlight - Dishwasher Safe would have worked out for you. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.

I have purchased 3 of these thermometers. They first one worked fine for less than a year and went bad. I purchased another one and it was defective right out of the box. I can still use one, but it's the one I bought most recently and I'm going to purchase a different brand because I don't Trust Taylor Any more.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry you did not prefer this product. For recommendations, please contact our Customer Solutions team.

Best thermometer I've used simply because of the holder it comes with. It snaps into the sleeve so it doesn't slide out. Can read in F and C, has a backlit, and reads very quickly to a wide range of temps. Worth every penny!

After purchasing many other "cheaper" thermometers that would last for a month or two and then fall apart, we decided to purchase a more sturdy model. We have not been disappointed. This holds up to daily use and keeps working. Solid construction and made to last.

This thing was awesome but strangely enough fell into the sanitizer water and stopped working. It says it's waterproof so I would understand it not working more if it didn't claim that.

Thank you for your review, Heidi! We are sorry this Taylor 9878E 4 1/2 inch Digital Pocket Probe Thermometer - 1.5mm Diameter Probe has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

Fantastic instant read thermometer. I use it for baked goods as it leaves a very small hole. Can't imagine not having it when making experimental loaves and other goods. A few degrees under or over can be difference between something new that is fantastic or a failure.

The Taylor 4 1/2" Purple Digital Pocket Probe Thermometer is highly accurate in temperature readings and it fits in your pocket. The purple color makes it easier to find if misplaced. Highly recommended for commercial and residential kitchens.

Great design and tight fitting case in fact it's a little scary to force off and on, especially with a sharp point inside, it seems to be reading a little high but can be calibrated so will be great to use for pork and steaks to be sure they are cooked safely!

This digital thermometer has held up very well for four months. We use this for internal temperatures of roast beef and pork loins as well as everyday cold line checks and it has always been spot on.

Great tool for our coffee shop/bakery. Thermometer reads quickly and accurately, we've had it in use for over a year and still works great! Its kind of large, but worth it for the readability and all the features. Love how it clips into a pocket or onto an apron!

Thermometer is still working and accurate after a year of use. Unfortunately I do not trust the water proofing as the case warped when sat above a sauce pan to measure the temperature. Thus while the probe is rated for up to 450 deg the case will degrade and warp well before that so be careful.
