How quickly does this thermo. get to the correct temp? Some thermometers take up to 20 or 30 seconds of ticking up. Need a near instant reading.

It prob takes 10-15 seconds. It's the fastest one I have ever used - don't know of one that's "instant."

Definitely not near instant. Id say 10 to seconds from ambient to 350 degrees. It is made very well.

The temperature readout is updated constantly, so when you turn it on, it reads room temperature, you stick it into food, and you'll see the temp readout rapidly rise and then level off at the temp of the food.Plus, the shaft on this thermometer is about a foot long. So, there's bound to be a bit of thermal mass inertia to initially overcome before it reaches a steady state temperature with the food.

I haven't timed it but it's pretty quick, maybe a 2-3 minutes. It heats up pretty quick, too, maybe 4-5 minutes.

Put both hands on the sensor rod, hold them firmly but not too hard, try to hold steady not moving or shaking, it should give you a reading in about 20 seconds. But usually not correct one, wait for the second reading, it will be more accurate, after third one, should be good.

You set the time which is kinda a guessing game. Mine takes up to 4 minutes to heat 6 ounces and it is not always consistent. Mine over hearts very quickly and usually powers down before the bottle is even warm.

Takes about 20 minutes to get to the hottest temp. It gets hot but not like a dry sauna. You will sweat a lot. I love mine.

Mine takes up to 15 minutes. That's with a solution with a ppm of roughly 400. It does settle very quickly in a calibration solution, which has a much higher ppm. I understand why there would be a difference, but 400 ppm does seem like enough for a quicker reading.

My #1 Best Meat Thermometer gives me a reading in less than 10 seconds. I've only used it on chicken @ 165 degrees. It might take longer on higher temps.

It is more about how long you hold something than it is temp. At 500, only a few seconds. Did not impess me.

Dear Sue,Thanks for your mesage. The "120 seconds in measurement" does not mean must be measured 2 minutes. Usually you just measure 50-60 seconds. But when you measure 120 seconds, it is more accurate. This time the temperature degree is closer to your actual body temperature.Please let me know if you have any question or need any additional information. Thank you!Best regards,Wimpy Kid

I do not have that problem with mine. It only takes a few seconds for mine to give any tempature.

No more than 2 minutes. I love my Kinsa Thermometer! The best part is you can program the app for each family member.

It is very slow to come to temp on the display. It is slower than my pre-heat oven setting is - but it does measure temp more accurately than any other oven thermometer I've ever had - just takes a while to get to the temp.

You neef to take temperature like 20 secs of difference, and the termometer indicates the same measure, but if you take it each 3 secs, it would vary.

I put an oven thermometer inside. It takes 3-5 minutes to reach temperature.

usually just a few seconds but since it tells the actual temperature too, you can watch the reading go up in degrees, as the progression slows it is getting close to the actual temp.

You can set the cooking time in 30 minute increments up to 10 hrs. When the time is up, it will go to warming temp. and will stay in warming mode for up to (I believe) 8 hours. That keeps the food at a safe temp. You just want to make sure the food doesn't overcook.
