Jumbo Outdoor Thermometer
This Jumbo Outdoor Thermometer from Sharper Image stands over 24 inches tall, offering an easy-to-read display visible from a distance thanks to oversized numerals. It accurately shows temperature readings on both sides in both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. The design incorporates a mercury-free red fluid magnified by a round tube for enhanced visibility. Constructed from durable solid brass and polycarbonate, it features an attractive finish designed not to peel or rust, though it will naturally patina over time. Reversible brackets are included for simple mounting virtually anywhere. For the best accuracy, ensure outdoor installation is in a shady location away from direct sunlight.

What customers say
This outdoor thermometer immediately impresses with its jumbo size and bold display, offering excellent readability from afar. Its stylish design also elevates outdoor spaces. However, performance issues severely undermine initial appeal. A significant number of users report accuracy problems, noting readings are often several degrees incorrect, compromising its core function. Durability is another major concern. Many instruments fail quickly outdoors, showing moisture intrusion, fogging, or mechanism sticking after one season. This lack of reliable precision and resilience means the premium cost feels unjustified for an instrument that does not last or measure correctly.
