I have a Rutland stovepipe thermometer on the stovepipe of our woodstove, and wanted another themometer for the stove top. This thermometer is smaller than I thought it would be and the printing is not very clear. When I put it side by side with my other thermometer on the pipe it read almost 100 degrees higher. I moved both thermometers to the stove top, the Condar read about 75 degrees higher. Seemed like one of them was not accurate, so I put them both in our oven next to the oven thermometer. In the oven set at 400 degrees they read the same. So I guess the are reading accurately, and the temp is just different on the stove top or stove-pipe within a few of inches.
All in all however, the Condar may be less obtrusive as some reviewers have said here, but I find it harder to read. If your intention is to be able to read your stove or insert temperature for safety purposes, I would not be so concerned with "looks". The Rutland is about 10% larger, and much easier to read. I do like that the Condar Medallion has a little wire "handle" that swings out if you want to pick it up and move it.

I bought this for my fireplace insert to enable more consistent temperature control. The magnet base secures it well and the temperature indication seems pretty accurate when compared to an infrared thermometer.The design is classy and is not gaudy. It works well for my application.
