Plus points:
-It's big (about 12" in length)
-It has all the useful temperature points marked (jam, hard ball, soft ball, firm ball, hard crack, soft crack, caramel, fish, chip, sterilise and fruit bottling), as well as the correct immersion level.
-The metal design will protect the glass thermometer from most dropping impacts
-It can clip onto the side of pots and pans
Minus points:
-It is still possible to smash the glass thermometer if you are careless enough.
-Slightly difficult to read with a lot of condensation on the glass
-Immersion level is 3" or so.
Overall, a very good value product that will prove very useful for most keen cooks.
RECOMMENDED
Edit - the markings have not come off yet, despite regular use.

Great thermometer. Followed instructions re washing (warm water, etc), all the decals fell off rendering it it useless! Although it's cheap it's not worth it. You get what you pay for, you get junk if you buy this. I wrote to the company to ask what to do, I've not heard any reply. Deeply unimpressed. Wouldn't buy another one.

In order to use this thermometer, you need to have it immersed in the liquid you're measuring up to the marked immersion line (or that's what the instructions say, anyway). This marked line is way too high up the thermometer for the quantities of ingredients listed in most sweet recipes.
For example, using Mrs Beeton's quantities to make 8 oz of butterscotch, if we put all the ingredients into the smallest pan we own, a milk pan, the melted liquid is still not high enough. If the liquid was deep enough, it'd be overflowing the pan.
If buying to make sweets, either get a different thermometer, or be prepared to make 4 times as much as you need.

Does the job and has handy sliding bracket on the back. Good for deep frying or jam making. Could be more asthetically pleasing - all in all a good buy.

Needs to be immersed to 6cm at least
There's an immersion mark somewhere 6cm from the bottom end of the thermometer. You need to immerse the thermometer up to this point for it to work accurately. Read more

Does what it says on the tin
Used mainly for cooking oil and not had any problems! Washes well if you clean it correctly and not with a scourer!
