Customer Rating: Summary: Great Thermometer Comment: I really like this thermometer. I my research before purchasing a thermometer before my baby was born. This thermometer works much better and quicker than the hospital thermometers I recieved. Customer Rating: Summary: Digital thermometer Comment: Our old glass and mercury thermometer finally died. Since I very seldom need a thermometer and rather than purchase a high-priced digital model, I decided to get this one. So far it seems to work just fine. Customer Rating: Summary: Recommended Comment: I'm a nurse, so I'm extra picky about health care products. This is my choice for my two girls. It's fast. It has a ridge to indicate how far in to insert the thermometer rectally. It's backlit so you can read it in a dimly lit room. And it's accurate. Customer Rating: Summary: Great, simply put. Comment: I like that it folds up, takes ONLY 10 seconds to get an accurate temp and has been reliable for 1+ years. I use plastic covers over the end that I find at Walmart. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't Bother Comment: The 10 seconds that it runs for doesn't give accurate results. I have had to run it several times to get the correct reading back.
