The Lavatools Javelin PRO Classic has been radically designed with an ultra-large 2-inch display with 360° viewing clarity that automatically rotates depending on how the device is held. Our product is NSF approved for commercial and professional use. We use high-quality impact-resistant polymers to prevent warping and can survive 4,000+ hours of continuous use on a single battery change.

Building on the success of the Javelin, our engineers have brought the response time of the Javelin PRO Classic down to a blistering 2-3 seconds by supercharging it with an ultra-sensitive Japanese sensor. With an accuracy of ±0.9°F, its performance is unrivaled. The key to the Javelin PRO Classic experience is its large 2-inch auto-rotating backlit display. We use a state-of-the-art display with a 360° global viewing angle, giving you spectacular clarity no matter how you look at it. Performance is everything. The Javelin PRO Classic can achieve a 2-3 second reading with an accuracy of ±0.9°F. IP65 splash proof construction protects the Javelin PRO Duo from minor spills and kitchen mishaps.

  • Unparalleled support
Color: Maize
After receiving it, I was excited to start using my Lavatools thermometer only to find it was defective. It had some functionality but the most important feature of reading and displaying an accurate temperature on the screen was not working. I followed the instructions listed in the troubleshooting guide but was unsuccessful. So I reached out to Lavatools and they responded immediately offering to send a brand new replacement which arrived very shortly thereafter. I am happy to report this thermometer works beautifully! It’s super easy to use, accurate, and lightning fast with the results displayed on a large screen. I also like the magnetic feature that allows me to stick it onto my refrigerator or the side of my microwave keeping it at the ready and preventing it from getting lost in the clutter of one of my drawers. Lavatools is on another level in customer service. I’m so thankful I did not have to call and wait on hold listening to a recording of how my call is important to them over and over while waiting to speak to a real person. Instead of telling me that, they demonstrated it in the way they responded and resolved my issue. I would happily recommend their products to family and friends. ... show more

  • Fast, accurate, intuitive to use! 100% worth the price!
Color: Maize
As a late 20-something on a tight budget, I’ve tried a bunch of less expensive thermometers over the years & at various relatives homes, but finally got frustrated with their shakey accuracy and/or how quickly they break. After this one, I’ll never look back! This is 100% worth the price point. And it rivals the instant thermometers I used in professional sensory testing kitchens in college. Mine has been working perfectly for almost a year now, and it’s become my go-to housewarming gift for all my friends. I was a little worried that it was only described as “water-resistant,” since I’m definitely not the neatest cook. But I’ve rinsed the full base of mine under running water at least a few times now (only times it was really sticky!), and can confirm the display didn’t get all water-logged or foggy like i was worried about! Normally, i do just wipe down the probe portion with soapy water. The only criticism I have is that the magnet isn’t super strong, so it doesn’t stick to my fridge without sliding down when the door is opened. (It would probably stick to a metal grill though). I didn’t take off any starts because I don’t really care about to the magnet, (it was easily fixed by hanging it on a Command hook instead), but just a heads up for those who are really interested in that feature. Seriously though, if your hesitating between this and a cheaper model, just get this one. You won’t be disappointed and it will last much longer! ... show more

  • Can Lavatools Javelin PRO compete with Thermoworks at half the price?
Color: Sambal
I review a lot of instant read thermometers. As you likely know, the Thermopen is the gold standard for accuracy and speed. See my photo to see the Javelin Pro up against the Thermopen and two less expensive brands. Do I like the Javelin just as well? The answer is: Almost. Read on for a more detailed comparison. I’m an avid BBQ guy and an admitted barbeque junkie. I’ve done very detailed tests on several brands, including the holy grail--the Thermapen. How well does this “Javelin” compete? Very well indeed. SPEED: The Javelin is not quite as fast, but faster than the other brands pictured. In real world use, the small speed advantage of the Thermapen, including the newest MK4, does not matter. ACCURACY? The Javelin Pro is right on. No wories FEATURES AND RELIABILITY: The battery is readily available, inexpensive and easy to change. This is my second Javelin Pro and I have had zero reliability issues. Both of my Thermapens have run into issues over time requiring service at a fee of $30. Its numbers are nice and big like Thermapen and its backlight is super helpful when needed. WHAT ABOUT CONS? One of the Javelin’s touted features is annoying to me. The ability to rotate sometimes means the numbers rotate direction when I don’t want them to. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED: If money is no object, I prefer the Thermapen by a hair. But for half the price, the Javelin Pro does not disappoint. I highly recommend it, especially in Chipotle or Orange. If you are not sure if you want to pony up nearly $50 for the Javelin Pro, you can find other very nice instant read thermometers as low as about $13. The less expensive ones are not quite as quick, typically have slightly smaller numbers, and shorter warranties, but still do an admirable job. ... show more

  • Quick & Accurate with a solid build
Color: Ink
Javelin Pro Duo ( Black Ink) Initial thoughts after using for our first grilled meal. Un-boxing: The Javelin Pro Duo is packaged very similarly to its high end competitor. instruction book came in handy with clear graphics on all the features & includes good cooking temperature guidelines. I like the orange back-light of the limited edition model compared to the blueish back-light of the other models. Did an initial accuracy test with Ice bath- first in Fahrenheit then toggled the temperature to Celsius , removing the battery cover was quick and easy to remove, just used a coin ( battery is a lithium CR2032 battery.) once battery cover was off without needing to remove battery used a toothpick & toggled the first DIP switch up. to switch to Celsius. Ice bath test was accurate for both imperial & metric. For the real test- used it for a whole roast chicken on the Weber. by the time our chicken was 3/4 of the way done the sun had set and it was perfect setting to test the rotation and backlight of the javelin pro duo. numbers are very clear with the lighting read quickly. Works as advertised & feels solid in the hand. I haven't messed around with the other features. IMHO it works as advertised & well worth the price. With all the quarantine, we are stuck at home so going to be firing up the grill a lot. I will revisit this after a few months of use. ... show more

  • if you need a precision instrument, this is it
Color: Sambal
This is a precision instrument that is both sturdy and perfectly calibrated. It provides instant readings confirmed within 1 to 2 seconds, and switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit is as simple as a double tap on the front panel. Your readings may vary based on your local elevation above sea level and the current atmospheric pressure. The normal boiling point of water is 100 °C / 212 °F under lab-controlled standard atmospheric pressure at sea level, which is 1013.25 hPa or 29.92 inches. A reading that is off by a fraction of a degree (+/-) is perfectly acceptable. Overall, the speed and precision are fantastic. In summary: Is Lavatools trustworthy? Yes. Is the thermometer expensive? While it's not the cheapest option, it is quite affordable if you take your measurements seriously, and you get what you pay for. Would I buy it again? Absolutely, without hesitation. ... show more
