I have this one, very cheap, with good precision, but it goes up and down slowly.

Why do I own like all of the Thermo Works - pops, dots, pens, alarms, etc...? Great products. 

 

I actually just bought the WAND.

I'm a collector as well. Got the Thermapen first but I use the Pop more because it's easier not to break my finger nails pulling out the probe on the pen.  The Dot is stuck up on my wall oven full time with an air probe inside to monitor the temp.  Can easily move the probe over to the CSO on the counter next to it or swap it for a penetration probe.  I like the Alarm for deep frying and candy or jam making, although the dot works for that, too.  I have a little IR thermometer from them for checking pans but haven't bought a Wand yet.  I've been thinking of trying one of their little pH meters. My lab experience has made me wary of trying to maintain pH electrodes used with any sort of gunky material, which would include most foods. Maybe these are better.

I'm pretty sure Thermoworks dosen't manufacture the pH meters they sell.  Anyhow I have not yet succumbed.

 

My Thermoworks collection includes two Thermapens, a surface contact Thermapen, wifi, waterproof, precision reference thermometer, countless thermocouples, and a Wand.  Plus cases to almost fit them in.

thermoworks doesn't manufacture the thermapen, either. ETI does. https://blog.thermoworks.com/thermometer/thermoworks-eti-ltd/

 

that's not a criticism. just sharing because i thought it was interesting.

Oh, I thought the two companies were related.  I still doubt that either Thermoworks or ETI make their pH meters.
