A warning to home brewers, though: this thermometer surpasses 500 degrees. That seems great, until you realize that this causes the numbers/lines to be smaller. For us home brewers, the 150-170 degree range is what counts most, and on this thermometer that area is about 2cm big.
Bottom line: if you're looking for a thermometer for home brewing, go for a thermometer that only goes up to 220. If you are looking for a thermometer that goes over 500 though, this is the one for you!

The thermometer I received I'm guessing was probably a defective one. It's pretty safe to assume that it was incorrectly reading that my cold tap water coming out at over 90 degrees during the winter. The temperature always read hot from about 30 60 degrees above what it should. I tested this against a smaller thermometer that I know is working, along with common sense I attempted a couple methods to recalibrate with only a minor improvement, if at all. This may typically be a great thermometer, but as I stated the one I received (and returned) did not work.
