Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Maverick RF-02 Digital Refrigerator/Freezer Thermometer
Customer Review: works great once wires are tucked..
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought two of these units for main kitchen and 2nd Fridge/freezer in basement. We were having some strange food issues and then our old Freezer died. With a house full of kids the fridge gets lots of action. When I bought the new freezers and refridgerator I bought the thermometers to keep up with the temperatures inside them.
Installation wasn't too bad if you're handy. The freezer extension probe is on a long wire that has to snake from the main unit to the freezer. I attached little adhesive backed mountings and wire tied the excess wire of the freezer probe so that I got a clean look. I found a seam between the fridge and freezer and ran the wire across the seam so that the door seals would seal properly. The main unit mounts using an adhesive backing that mounts it at an angle. I mounted it high up so that kids don't break it.
Once mounted I found online what the proper temps for a fridge and freezer should be and set the alarms. I let it sit for a few hours and then came back to check. Boy was I surprised. Those little "knobs" on the fridges and freezers are basically useless for temperature selection. It was too warm in both compartments! No wonder our food didn't last long! I adjusted the temperature knobs over the course of the week until the alarms were mostly green. It will turn red with repeated openings but you want to see what your "average" temp is.
Now I have everything dialed in and we have been using it for about a month. I can taste the difference already in the food. This was a great purchase and should have done it years ago.
