You get what you pay for I suppose
Igloo has free shipping but the front is faux metal (silver plastic). If I had to do it over again I'd get the Emerson (stainless front) Emerson 8-Bottle Wine Cooler - Stainless Steel -- $20 shipping to NJ. Also the temp indicator is off; setting the unit to 52 degrees yields 60 degree wine -- Actron CP7875 PocketTherm Infrared Thermometer. I believe the PocketTherm to be correct as it determined ice water to be 32/33 degrees.

Liking the lighted display
While wandering around in the dark taking random tempertures, I find that the lighted display works awesome. Easy to read and not too bright that I have to readjust to the dark.

Shop somewhere else!
For the price I paid, I would have expected more.
I also ordered another, more expensive product which I never recieved. It is excrutiatingly hard to find anyone that has any qualifications let alone one that could possibly help you.
Amazon.com is the biggest ripoff. For the love of all things human, shop somewhere else.

If you like gizmos ...
This is a 5 star little gizmo for the gadget freaks among us.

For anyone else a 3 or 4.

You will quickly run out of things to measure around the house -- but it's fun anyway.

Do be advised that for any consistent reading you must hold this at a precise distance from your target or the reading will vary greatly. Not a defect -- but just a fact of measurement.

does what it says
There is a growing number of these gadgets out there. This one works as it was promised and is a convenient tool (and toy) for the gadgeteer. How much colder are the single pane windows than than the double panes? How cold is that floor in the bathroom? The speed at which you can make measurements is great. This unit is not as accurate as the precision it provides, but good enough. Incidentally, soon after it arrived I picked up "A Matter of Degrees" by Gino Segre at the county library - check it out.
