Thermometer for Adults, Digital Oral Thermometer for Fever, Basal Thermometer with 10 Seconds Fast Reading

I assumed this thermometer would come with the same plastic sleeves most of them do, but no. It comes with instructions to douse with alcohol each time you want to use it. Have you TASTED rubbing alcohol? It aint exactly a mai tai. Luckily, I had a lot of old plastic sleeves from my last digital thermometer left over, so we should be fine. The long end of this one, however, is a rubbery, flexible stuff, so pulling the sleeve off its backing is a bit tricky because the thermometers nose bends. Its weird, frankly. It seems to work OK, but Im not thrilled with the button you push to start it, as you really have to get your finger down in the hole to get to the button. The last thermometer I had had a nice little button up on top, easy to push, easy to find, easy to see. This one also has a fairly small readout area. So, you really do get what you pay for. Does it work? Seems to. Would I buy it again? Nope. But itll do for now. We needed something to monitor us after our COVID vaccines, so it basically did its job already.

In these Covid times, you must have a thermometer to make sure youre not racing past 102 degrees. You can get the hi-tech fancy ones for $50, or go the old school oral type, and pay under $10. This one does the trick nicely.

I read some of the negative comments; and empathize because sometimes I got a faulty product. But Ive used this thing several times now, and even once as I went to my doctors office and it was right on point. The thing I like best is that its only a 10 second wait, (I always wait 15 to be sure). I have tinnitus and cant usually hear those high pitched beeps on a lot of these things, but with this thing, its a snap, and I always got a good reading. I like it, and I would recommend it.

What can you say, its an oral thermometer. More accurate than infrared thermometers.

This thermometer seemed accurate, but it is difficult to read. It would be helpful if the screen was backlit. Also, the button is stiff and can be difficult to push down.

I purchased a couple of them to have on hand. I put them both in the same cup of water and tempted them. Both came back with the same reading. I like how it has a soft tip so you can bite it lightly and not hurt your teeth like some of the other ones.

These were a gift so I have no review.

Bought this when I was traveling, got sick, and had no thermometer. It arrived the next day, was a good value, and it seemed to be very accurate. I cant rate the battery life because I havent owned it all that long.

10 seconds feels like an eternity after being used to 1 second(I dont like - find they read inconsistently) and 3 second(my preferred) digital thermometers. Seems to be easy to use, consistent in its results and was inexpensive. One curious thing I discovered is my older father, who has some high frequency hearing loss but still hears well enough that he doesnt need hearing aids to understand or function, cannot hear any of the beeps this thermometer makes. It has a single beep when turning on, and off both. Plus a Measurement Done multi-tone chime when its finished giving a reading. Its more beeping than seems necessary, but at least its a a moderate volume. Probably still loud enough to potentially wake someone else sleeping in the same room. For reference in a quiet house I can hear it down a 15 hallway from another room. But in the same room, the beeps are mostly hidden by a reasonable listening volume TV. It does beeping slightly less, and at a lesser volume than the Vicks thermometer I tend to use - which beeps every time you press any button.

Working well so far
