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

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.

hard to read, to small.

Whats important is that a thermometer be consistent. If the reading rises, you want to know its you, and not the thermometer giving variable results. I have a high quality, well-tested thermometer but when my wife went into isolation for Covid she took it with her. We had Amazon overnight this one to us, and I had her spend a day comparing the two. This one consistently read half a degree higher than the other one, but who knows which one is right? Half a degree is not important. What matters is that when the reading on one went up, the reading on the other also went up the same amount. Bottom line: this thermometer was as reliable for tracking changes in body temperature as the more expensive fancy one. If one reads 98.4 and the other reads 98.8, which ones accurate? Who knows? Who cares? What you want to know is if it went up, or down, and by how much.

certainly better and faster non-electronic

Arrived same day, as described. Seems easy enough to use. The “LO” confused me (perhaps in my fever stupor) as the stage before actually taking one’s temperature. Instructions are in a very tiny font and in a grey rather than black ink, so a bit hard to read. Seems to work well.

We had to replace our old digital thermometer when it stopped working, and this one is much nicer. I particularly like that it has a soft coating so if you accidentally bite down it doesnt hurt your teeth.

I prefer just a classic thermometer like this. It does the job.

It does what it should. Good deal for the price.

Performs accurately each time

We finally decided to upgrade our old-fashioned oral thermometer for an instant-read one and picked this one based on its good reviews. So far, were very pleased with our purchase.
