If, as a result of your comparison, your new device is still inaccurate,
call the company that made it. I'm sure they would rather make it right
than have their name mentioned here.

I called and they told me the spec is +/- 2 degrees. At that much of a
differential, I'd not have bought it. At this point I think I'm going
to return it and buy another brand with more accuracy.
Sadly a lot of stuff seems to have really Mickey Mouse specs.

Davis instruments makes nice stuff but are a little more spendy:

Oregon scientific also makes good stuff:

The Davis stuff is nice, but $600
The Oregon scientific as the same 2 degree tolerance that the Accurite has.
Only difference is they may be in tolerance while mine is not.

I did find a Zephyr Instruments that is half a degree. I'm going to call
Accurite and see what they have to say before taking it back to the store
and ordering the Zephyr.
