This should be considered a preliminary review. I had an urgent situation requiring the use of a Temperature Data Logger, received it yesterday and tried twice to use it with negative results. I’ve already requested a replacement from Amazon. I will update my review after I have tested the replacement.
The unit is stylishly designed and appears to be well-made. The brief instruction sheet leaves something to be desired, but there is a more detailed manual that can be downloaded.
My immediate need was to record the temperatures in a new home refrigerator.
Getting up and started is very simple. I left the unit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours having set it to record the temperature every five minutes.
The PDF report the device automatically produces is very well done and very informative.
Except only three readings were made before a “battery voltage too low” message was recorded and the unit ceased recording.
I had used the battery that was installed in the unit upon delivery.
So I assumed maybe they had used cheap batteries or something.
I installed a CR2032 from a new package with a use by date of 2024 and put the unit back in the refrigerator and left it overnight.
Same result. After 15 minutes, the low voltage warning appeared and the unit stopped recording.
Analog devices are showing the refrigerator temperature as 40 degrees F.
I’ll try the replacement, but if the same thing occurs, I think this unit can safely be dropped from consideration.

Original Review: The device warns of low voltage within 20 minutes of being put into the refrigerator which is what I purchased it to do. That makes it pretty useless for that purpose and I am guessing a freezer would be even worse. Since the device is rated to -22 F, this should not be an issue. Also, the software is not easy to use, but I could have made that work if the device had actually functioned.
Two warnings. One: f you have Mac OS 10.14 or 10.15 then DO NOT install the provided drivers. These versions of Mac OS include necessary drivers and installing 3rd party ones will hang your system. Two: if your Mac says words to the effect of "Can't run the Elitech app: can't scan it for viruses" then go to your System Preferences / Security & Privacy / General tab IMMEDIATELY after you've tried to run it, and you will be able to enable it to run.
These two things avoided/done, the device works very well. Exports to Excel, PDF, JPG, settings are all available, template settings can be stored, etc.
I've compared to other temperature meters, it shows a good accuracy. Definitely, sufficient for my home usage.
One thing I've noticed to be taken into account. It has a pretty long response time. I've performed a very simple experiment. I've put the logger in the cold environment of 14deg C and recorded the time it took it to get to this temperature.
The response time was about 18 minutes for 8 deg C temperature drop. See attached snapshot. It is probably caused by the fact that the whole device should get to the environment temperature, as its sensor is inside. It is not a big deal for the measurements where temperature changes are very slow - an order of hours or so...In case, higher response time is required, it should be considered to buy an external sensor add on. Hopefully, it will have higher response time.
For my home purposes the device is fine as is.
I really like the output file. It is highly helpful for me to see the temp trends, high and low. Great design.
Dislike: only one dislike, I was not able to change from Centigrade to Fahrenheit. Since I'm specifically looking for temps at or below freezing, Centigrade is just fine, as zero is easy to see.
I use this device to track temperatures in my mountain cabin to help me determine how much antifreeze to put in my toilet and drains to prevent them from freezing and being destroyed. This device has given me actual data that permits me to plan and meet cabin needs accurately.
Thanks for the very useful and affordable product.
Like - looks nice and the battery pull tab was easy.
Easy to setup (just download the software from the website). Just press a button to start recording, and another to stop. Connect to PC to access the PDF file on the USB drive, and use the software to view and download the data as well.
The website says 24-hour response. Emailed them on Sunday and again on Monday AM. now Tuesday pm, no response.
Finally A week after receipt of the unit and several unanswered phone call to the 24/7 helpline. It is answered and a new unit with tracking was promised. A week later and nothing.
