 NOT equal to the Thermapen November 14, 2008

I tried it too. It took near 30 seconds to register 0C for the ice water. The 1 second response time is how often the display updates, not how long it takes to get an accurate reading. Let's leave this one for the HVAC techs.
Thermapen Chinese Knock-Off November 8, 2008

Always trying to save a buck. I've got the real Thermapen and love it. I picked up one of these for the RV thinking I was clever. $40 mistake. I agree with the other reviewer, the Extech takes about 30 seconds to read a temperature, the real Thermapen is 3 or 4 seconds. There are other thermometers out there for about $15 that will read in 10 seconds so I wouldn't waste $39 on this Extech thing again. This is a bad, cheap knock-off that is obviously designed by Extech to appear to be the Thermapen. In reality, it's worth about $15 and they're scamming you $40 because it looks like the Thermapen. After I got it, I found reviews on BBQ forums that evaluate all the differences. Buy the real Thermapen if you have the money. If you don't, get the CDN or a different Thermoworks, or one of the others on amazon.

Works great for cooking and is less than 1/2 the price of a similar brand.

1 second temp reading is completely false. Myself and second competition BBQ'r tested this thermometer with dissapointing results. Room temp of 84 degrees to glass of ice water 33 degrees to over 30 seconds. Readout is nice and unit seems well built, but 1 second claim is totally off. I would return unit if it were not such a hassle.

Nothing against the fine folks at Thermapen or their fantastic product, it's just that their price point is a tad lofty. With gas at $4 plus/gal, you economize where you can. The Extech does everything theirs does (and some things better) for a lot less money. This is a tool normally used by trade professionals, not culinary types, so its built to work reliably and accurately.
