Yes I am correct.. about 4 mins after placing it on its side (instead of end) the temp went from 60 exactly ->80 exactly -> 100 exactly now..

so it can only report temps in 20C intervals (useless)

So peoples.. make sure you are placing them in their ends.. not their sides..

Edit: in the bottom of the manual they show it standing correctly.. but right besides a wall.. blocking the airflow!!!
