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

It works

I bought this for my little nephew and it is reliable and good material.

This is the best, most consistent digital thermometer Ive ever used.

I bought this thermometer to replace one that died. I like this one so much better than the one I had before. It is accurate and easy to read!

I wanted speed, but didnt want to pay a lot since its just for adults. I wasnt disappointed, as it works very quickly and seems accurate. (How can you really tell?) Id buy it again.

This Vicks SpeedRead thermometer is excellent. In my experience, it has been 100% accurate, reliable, readable and usable in the dark. ACCURACY: Compared to a professionally calibrated digital thermometer I use for work, this unit was consistently within .2 degrees of accuracy. When compared to several other types and brands of thermometers I have around the house, the Vicks SpeedRead was within .5F freedom degrees. USABILITY: Theres only one button. It is accurate for oral vitals on children who are awake and old enough not to squirm for 8 seconds. Kids can immediately tell if they have a fever by the color-coded readout. It is a good addition for a mobile first-aid kit as it comes with a rigid case and is somewhat durable. Youd better have long fingernails or a small flathead screwdriver to unlock it and pry off the back to change the battery (see photo). Dont forget to pick up probe covers, alcohol wipes and a spare CR1632 battery. CAVEAT EMPTOR: This thermometer uses a CR1632 battery NOT an LR44 as in the description! Before you open the packaging glance at the manufacturing date. Coin batteries last between 2-4 years in storage, and if its at the tail end of that span you may want to check pricing on the battery v. the price of the thermometer and decide if its more economical to send the thermometer back or buy a new battery. The thermometer I received had been manufactured less than 6 months prior.

Works very well to check kids temps at school when they are not feeling well

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!

Works quickly and easily and certainly its a lot simpler then the temporal one that I have.

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.
