This is a closeout on the White MK4. The only time you will ever see the MK4 this cheap.

Could anyone tell me what (if any) downsides there would be to getting the thermopop (which doesn't fold up and is a bit cheaper) instead of the thermapen?
I'm talking about one of these:

The Thermapen is a great tool and seem to last forever. I bought one several years back and also picked up one of the MK4's and this is a great sale if you don't have one. I bought the leather holder for both of mine and even though it's a little expensive add on I like to have them in an enclosure to keep them from getting knocked around.

Does it read as fast as their other units? If so, as long as you a have an open (shirt) pocket for carrying it around, I can't see the any significant downside. I tend to keep my thermapen in my apron pocket, which is low and horizontally oriented, so this wouldn't be practical for me.

I have a thermapop and my friends', where I cook a lot (pre-covid) have the thermapen. The thermapen is faster and more accurate. The company actually has a good write up here:https://help.thermoworks.com/knowledge- ... thermopop/. Among other things the thermapen is truly waterproof and the pop "splash proof."

Still in my experience the thermopop is fast, as accurate as I need it to be for what I do, and I haven't had problems with water. Use it almost daily and I've had it for 4 or 5 years.
