This would 'activate the free one year guarantee'. This seems to
do no more than duplicate our statutory rights. In the bag was a
glossy brochure offering 'Peace of mind'. Peace of mind is worth a
lot so I read on. It turned out that the peace of mind was limited
to not worrying about the freezer breaking down. ....

Is that why you were looking for a new freezer thermometer?

On account of the recent hot weather, I got one of these. It's works
surprisingly well. Two remote sensors, great range, good display,
rising/falling indicator, strong magnets, etc. Can't understand why
it's so cheap because I would place this as a £35 device not £14.50.

Yes. I bought three. They are not wireless because nothing wireless
works very well round here. We are on high ground near a telecoms tower.
I wondered if I could extend the wires. It turned out that the sensor is
a thyristor that has resistance varying from about 10kohm to oh I dunno
maybe 1Mohm, so the extra resistance in 3m of cat 5 made very little
difference.

They work well. It's surprising how the reading varies as the freezer
motor cycles between on and off. And when you open the freezer door the
air temp inside drops very rapidly; from -18 to -8 in no time.
