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

Working well so far

It’s supposed to be quick but it’s not accurate. Sometimes it will beep but the number will keep rising. So I felt like going back to my old one all the time.

General fever check

I’m sure I’ll like it but so far I haven’t had to use it yet. Thank goodness

Although this thermometer seems to be accurate, it has no beeper alarm, and is difficult to turn on and off because the button is hard to push. I bought this thermometer months ago, but am using it for the first time with a fever lasting for many days. The thermometer keeps switching to Celsius, and I no longer have the directions to tell me how to switch it back to Fahrenheit, so Im very aggravated with it. Plan to purchase a different thermometer.

This looked like just what we wanted in terms of fast reading and audible signals, so I ordered 2. The first one I tried just didnt work. Switch it on, and it gives a weak LCD display, and shows an error code. Maybe the battery is nearly dead. I havent tried replacing it yet; it looks like a challenge to pull off the battery cover, even with tools. The second one did work. The good: the flexible bulb end is a definite plus. It really does give a reading that seems accurate and consistent, in about 10 seconds. Great. The bad: it makes no audible signal. None. Thats half the reason I bought this model. So it appears that it does give a definite and useful temperature reading fast. Rather than listen for a beep, just time it for 10-15 seconds, and read it. But thats a big disappointment, not to mention the apparently high probability that if you buy one, it wont work out of the box, at all.

hard to read, to small.

Temperature on mine appears to always be 1F degree higher than actual temp, so it perpetually says I have a fever of 99.6-ish or so, while other thermometers I used immediately after say Im 97.7-98.7-ish. Sometimes this thermostat will give two different readings of 1F different with consecutive use. Works as needed though for the price, because if it says 100F+ I definitely have a fever.

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.

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.
