Lavatools Javelin PT12 Thermometer

Oct 21, 2018

Works, but it's a serious down-grade from the more expensive model I purchased earlier (Lavatools Javelin PRO Duo). For instance, while this model is about 2/3ds the size of the Javelin PRO Duo, it lacks the "motion-activated backlight and an ambidextrous design that automatically flips the read out, when used by both righties and lefties." That's a serious inconvenience when working in low light, or trying to probe a bird, roast, or steak from multiple angles or locations, especially while holding tools in your opposite hand (tongs, pot-holder, or a hot pan). It's tough to read in the confines of a dimly lit oven, and nearly useless when grilling outdoors after sundown (no backlighting in the display at all). You can work around these limitations, but why would you want to? Just shell out a few bucks more and opt for the Javelin PRO Duo.
