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

As an aside, I'm surprised that the US is still using Fahrenheit instead
of the universal Centigrade.
There's only about 8 countries that still use F.
Fahrenheit remains the official scale for the following countries:
The Bahamas, Belize, the Cayman Islands, Palau and the United States and
associated territories (Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
Canada retains it as a supplementary scale that can be used alongside
Celsius.
I'm surprised you're surprised. Given the chauvinism rampant in the U.S.,
it's only to be expected.
