I bought the cheapest one I could find due to financial constraints....hopefully it goes beyond it's specs of -50C.

So how well did it perform. My next purchase will be a thermometer.

I haven't seen it go past -46 Celsius. I have since bought a dual probe thermometer off ebay new for $37.80. I will let you know how it performs after I get it. It is supposed to go to -200C. I need to get some LN2 though soon.

Well, I ordered the same one today. Will be using it for DICE. I sure hope it isn't a crap thermometer.

Well I got mine and it works great. I put it under my tongue and it said 97F. It seems like a pretty good thermometer. Now my block measures ~4C warmer than the coolant itself, which seems more likely. Blocks at -18C right now and stays close to that under normal use.

The probes seem kinda flimsy though and they were not easy to insert in the slots. No big deal.
