I was looking at the same deal but couldn't see much difference between that and the maverick 732 which is about 10 bucks cheaper. Both have mixed reviews on quality.

It looks to be a re-branded Maverick.

I'd go with the Maverick just for the customer service issues that may arise.

+1 on the Maverick. Just because it is a known brand & customer service. Not to mention a little cheaper.

Sometimes, you get what you pay for. I have the Maverick ET-733 and have not had an issue.

i know the mavrick is good but the 733 sells for 69.99 and this one is on sale for 43 so i was wondering if anyone has any experience with it, the amazon review are decent but i would like to first hear from someone that owns it........

Sorry had the wrong model number. Here is the link I was talking about as I'm also in the market for a digital thermometer.

From what I have heard they are very hit or miss (including the Ivation). I haven't decided if I'm going to go with that cheaper maverick or a very cheap model that uses generic probes (cheaper to replace when they inevitably go bad).
