Is anyone familiar with these thermometers?

I was thinking of using this in my fermentor so that I can get a better idea of when to change out frozen water bottles.  Has anyone used anything like this?  Can anyone recommend something they are familiar with?

Price is right. Free shipping. Ought to work well if you don't mind Celsius only.

I local club member here picked a bunch of those up and uses them in all of his fermentation chambers, feezers, fridges, etc. He doesn't mind the Celsius.

I take it they are satisfied with their performance?

I ordered a couple of them.  Thanks.

What are you using for a fermentation chamber? If it is just an insulated enclosure the ice and the thermometer will work. If you want to use a freezer or fridge to ferment ales in the 60 degree F range, an SCT-1000 temperature controller, $20 from Amazon, works great. Allows you to maintain a constant temp using the existing cooling system and heat with a 60 watt ceramic heater. Used but relatively new 4 to 5 CF freezers and fridges can be purchased from $20 to $50. Just make sure you can close the door with the plastic bucket / carboy inside.

I'd add that if you are using a temperature controller like a Ranco, it will display the current temp. being reported by the probe.
