I've been trying to buy four refrigerator/freezer thermometers and it's
frustrating how inaccurate/inconsistent they are.

Looks nice but no spec's on absolute accuracy so no way to know if are
any better than the run-of-the-mill cheap consumer thermometers Pete's
already tried.

Lee Valley probably can supply data and there's at least a decent chance
they may meet the need, but wouldn't bet too much on it without checking
first before laying out $50.

Of course, highly accurate thermometers/sensors are available from
suppliers for lab/scientific measurements, but one pays for the
precision/accuracy.

I don't know otomh what one could find from Omega these days in the
lower-end price range, but there's one place to look.
