1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money   November 17, 2009
vailskimogel (vail, colorado)
Don't believe the hype about this cheap useless thermometer. I bought this one so I would have a reliable accurate thermometer which would produce fast accurate results. What I got was two readings before it broke. It doesn't always light up and now its stuck at 96.8. I removed and reinserted the battery and it is still broken. Also, there are no probe covers that will fit this product so you will have to continue to sanitize with alcohol. Nice gimmick- like product that DID NOT WORK when I had an emergency. In the end, I went to the grocery store at 10 at night to get one that worked when this one froze up.


3 out of 5 stars Works great. Loses design points.   June 27, 2009

We bought this after the Red Cross 5 second thermometer. The Vicks works much better--i.e. it works. I probably would have given it 4 stars if I had never used the Red Cross. The Red Cross has a flat base, so that when you set it down the probe is well off the table top. The Vicks rests unsteady on its rounded side so it can shift around and a dirty probe can touch the table or other things.


5 out of 5 stars The Best!!!   May 1, 2009

This is one of the best rectal thermometers out there!! It takes out about 5 seconds for the reading and does not bother my baby girl at all. I'm so glad I bought this thermometer!!


5 out of 5 stars Great Thermometer!!!   April 9, 2009

I highly recommend this thermometer. I purchased it prior to the birth of my son, who is now 3 years old, and it is still accurately working. The tip is just the right size so no fear of hurting a tushie.


4 out of 5 stars Good product, but be careful cleaning it   February 26, 2009

It's well-designed and gives a quick reading. However, the battery door is not gasketed, so when washing the thermometer, it's easy for water to get into the unit; then parts inside corrode and it quits working. Still the best out of several that we've tried, I'm buying another one.
