Zilla thermometer 103.0 Acu-Rite 83.0

Hey All,
So I get two different readings from these thermometers and I dont get it. They are in the same exact spot and are both on Fahrenheit. I wonder if because the probe measures all around and the acu-rite looks like the sensor is on one side and adhesive on the other. So what I did was sat the probe up a little off the ground so it would be equal and the readings are the same. Does anyone have experience with the Zilla thermometers?

The majority of people on this site use the acurite thermometer. Other thermometers have been known to be off by as much as 20 degrees. I would say that your acurite is more accurate. What kind of thermometer is the zilla?
