When our decades old Taylor indoor/outdoor digital thermometer started to fail, I went looking to Taylor for a replacement but could not find anything I thought comparable. I first tried this DOQUAS unit (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B088CSHY7Z) but promptly returned it because the display did not have sufficient contrast to read in normal to subdued room light. I then ordered this Ambient Weather brand unit. The display is higher contrast but still not as easy to read as the old Taylor. I don't understand why a much older display technology can be easier to read the very latest devices.
HOW I ASSIGN STARS IN A REVIEW
The star ratings are always in relation to the item's intended purpose, type, and durability.
5 stars - The item is perfect with no room for meaningful improvement. The item performs its intended function consistently, and without fail. It also appears to be durable in its manufacture and materials.
4 stars - While not perfect, any imperfections are likely to go unnoticed in normal use. The item should be durable given normal care and handling.
3 stars - The item has significant short comings or limitations, but these do not significantly degrade performance. And/or the item may not be durable if not handled with some degree of care.
2 stars - The item has defects or short comings that compromise performance. And/or the item may be likely to fail prematurely even with careful use.
1 star - The item does not function correctly in any meaningful way or is very difficult or even hazardous to use. And/or the item failed completely with very little use.
In any case this unit passed the test of the indoor and outdoor temperature being nearly identical when placed side by side, and it agreed with our old Taylor. The DOQUAS failed both tests, so this "Ambient Weather" brand unit looks like a keeper. If it lasts a more than a decade like the Taylor, we'll be happy.
