Vicks SpeedRead V912US Digital Thermometer, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

This thermometer is so fast and easy to read. Wish I had gotten it long ago.

What are the nice if they sent the product and the battery wasn’t dead or/low?

Very easy to use and it only takes maybe 10 seconds for a read out. Plus, it has three colors to let you know if you are in normal range (green). low fever (yellow) or high fever (red).

I am writing a review on this item even though it arrived DOA and it did not work. It is nonreturnable and I called Amazon and customer service told me to trash it and they gave us full credit. For that I give it and Amazon a thumbs up! It was not a battery issue by the way, it just did not work. I am recommending this thermometer though because we have 4 of them and they work flawlessly if you replace the batteries when needed. We like the bright light that comes on when your temp has been taken and some of them make a loud enough beep to hear unlike others. There are 2 kinds; one traditional and one that gives you an almost readout. One is flexible and one is traditionally rigid, so you have a lot of options to choose from. I for one never buy anything that is not returnable since I refuse to allow any business to sell me something that does not work and then will not take it back. That is a licence to steal from the consumer. It worked out well for us, although I had to call someone in central America to get my refund but they took care of it and that was impressive.

works very good

Thank goodness this thermometer takes just 8 seconds to register. I use it to take temperature of sick kittens and cats. It remains on and ready for the time it takes to get the probe in place in a squirmy cat. I have a separate thermometer for my own use and it has worked well for many years and is easy to replace the battery

Works great and is easy to use!

I did not think there would be that much difference in thermometers but there is! The things that make this thermometer superior are: The case is so easy to put on and off the thermometer. The most excellent part is that it flashes a light so you know when the temperature is registered and when you turn it on it does 3 different color light flashes so you know it is working well. This thermometer was a little bit more expensive but it was DEFINITELY worth it. I am going to give them for stocking stuffers this Christmas.

We have 4 of these scattered around our house as we use often (child has a condition). They are slightly off each other (usually by 0.1-0.3 degrees, but some times as much as 1.0, which is annoying) but generally consistent for each device (so we have numbered ours and try to stick to using one). Super easy for our child to use and easy to see readings and we can turn back on to see last reading of child doesn’t report it to us. They don’t seem to work as well once battery replaced - mind you, that could be an issue with the replacement battery which we haven’t tested yet. For the price and ease of use for a child, we’ll stick with these.

This simple leas expensive thermometer is more reliable than the fancy expensive ones. I’ve tried the fancy Nose Frida head one, and the Phillips ear one and they have failed me when I’ve needed them the most. Which thermometer has NEVER failed me? That’s right the Vicks one! It’s dual use, rectal, underarm and under tongue. I love the light up colors and the loud beep when it’s done reading. Always have this thermometer handy even if you have other thermometers!
