- battery (85% positive, 10 mentions): 使用 AAA 電池而非鈕扣電池，更易取得與更換，電池壽命良好。
Weaknesses
- premature_failure (9% report): 耐用性問題最為嚴重，約 9% 用戶反映使用 1-6 個月後即停止運作，高嚴重度問題。
- inaccurate_readings (5% report): 少數用戶反映溫度讀值不準確，包括同一食材不同部位讀值差距過大（最高相差 115°F），可能影響食品安全。
- not_truly_instant (4% report): 部分用戶認為讀值速度未達廣告宣稱的 0.5 秒，實際需數秒才能穩定。
- unreadable_instructions (2% report): 說明書字體極小，需放大鏡才能閱讀。
- heat_sensitive_casing (1% report): 外殼為塑料材質，不可放入烤箱使用，留置高溫烤箱中會熔化。
