Good thermometer but if using rechargeable AAAs make sure they are 1.5v
I got this thermometer specifically because it uses AAA batteries, while many other thermometers use disposable button batteries. I have a ton of rechargeables on hand, some of which have been in use for 10+ years, which is a lot more convenient and environment friendly than stocking disposable batteries, so I prefer using rechargeable AAAs.The thermometer itself is great, seems to be pretty accurate to within 1°, and I've been using mine for about 2 years now and it's still going strong. Love the magnets on the back as it allows me to just stick the thermometer on the vent hood above the stove for quick access, and the large LCD display is very bright and easy to read.It does however have one design flaw: When the thermometer detects a low battery, it replaces your temperature reading on the display with "Lo". This becomes very obnoxious because it takes a few seconds for it to return to your temp reading. The "Lo" will continue to replace your reading every several seconds, making the product tedious to use until you replace the battery.This would not be a problem if the "Lo" only appeared when the batteries are ACTUALLY low, but the problem is that they seem to have designed this with only 1.5v AAAs in mind and clearly did not test it with common 1.2v NiMH rechargeable batteries, which is mind boggling. Even when you put in fully charged NiMH batteries, it will still detect it as a low battery, and obnoxiously replace your temperature reading with "Lo" every few seconds. The thermometer itself has no issue running on 1.2v NiMH rechargeables, but it's practically unusable due to the temperature readout constantly being replaced with "Lo".Fortunately, 1.5v Li-Ion AAA rechargeable batteries are a thing, so I started using these instead and the "Lo" problem disappeared.ThermoPro, if you ever read this, maybe make your products compatible with 1.2v rechargeables, or make a low battery indicator off to the side which does not interfere with the temperature reading.
