It has a range of minus 20 to plus 120 degrees centigrade and tells you the temperature in tenths of a degree. It is said to be accurate to plus or minus 1 degree centigrade. I've just bought one and they work well. Have a look on the RNIBs Website at: www.rnib.org.uk Regards, John.

We have just purchased a house with one so have the same problem. Would also like to find an accessible thermometer to measure water temperature.
