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.

Customer Rating:

Summary: not impressed
Comment: I wasn't impressed with this thermometer. It looked handy, considering how it folds up in itself to make it more compact, but it turned out to be a dud. For one thing, it took longer than ten seconds to get a rectal reading. Plus, it stopped working correctly after just a few uses. I'm not sure why this happened, because we always used and cleaned it exactly according to the instructions. Perhaps it was just a design flaw, or perhaps I got a "lemon." At any rate, I found a much better 10-second rectal thermometer that actually works like it should, and I'm very pleased with it: the Vick's Baby Rectal Thermometer. It's the same price as this one, but it has a large, back-lighted display for easy reading and the design guarantees that you can't insert it too far. I love the Vick's. It's just a better thermometer.
