What the maker puts in writing

  • 10 horizontal adhesive strips, 4.75 × 1.0 in
  • Range 50 to 90 °F
  • Flexible, waterproof and washable
  • One time use
  • For lagers, ales, wines, kombucha, meads and ciders

The only range on the shelf

Fifty to ninety Fahrenheit.

Nine items here and one of them says what temperatures it can read. On a shelf of thermometers, that is the specification, and eight listings leave it out.

And the contradiction, quoted as published

Washable in one bullet, one-time use in the next.

Both are printed. The sensible interpretation is that it wipes clean on the vessel and does not survive being moved — which is also why ten come in the pack.

What readers ask us

Washable or one-time use?

The listing says both: *Flexible & Waterproof & Washable* in one bullet and *One time use* in the next. The most likely reading is that the strip survives being wiped while attached but cannot be peeled off and re-stuck. Ten in a pack suggests the maker expects them to be replaced.

Will it read my wine for serving?

Not usefully. Fifty to ninety Fahrenheit does cover serving temperatures, but a strip taped to a bottle reads the glass and takes time to settle. Four items on this shelf are built to read a bottle quickly.

How accurate is it?

The listing says highly accurate and gives no figure. No strip thermometer on this shelf publishes a tolerance, and a liquid-crystal strip is generally a one-or-two-degree instrument rather than a precise one.

    • Takes a public swipe at no-rinse cleaners, which is the headline feature of another kit on this shelf, and offers no test either way
