Barakta struggles with alcohol thermometers (she finds them hard to read, and can't do the wrist-flick manoeuvre to reset them), so we had an electronic one that had a LCD and speech output. It was slow and used annoying batteries, and after a few years died of snappy plastic death. I quite liked that it could tell you when the reading had stabilised, so you didn't have to take it out and look.
ETA: I should add that since its demise we've fallen back on a traditional alcohol one. There was a pandemic, so a thermometer that barakta could operate without assistance seemed like a low priority given that they were in high demand.
