Doesn't work 
2006-03-09
I bought it when my daughter was very ill. It didn't work and I could not return it. I am not a big fan of safety first products!
Excellent!!

I've unfortunatly had to use this recently for the 1st time. It's so easy to use!! I've always been scared to use a thermometer rectally but I wasn't nervous with this one at all. The reading was very quick and easy to read. It saves your last reading so you dont have to try and remember what it was last time to know if your baby's temp is better or worse. It also has a backlight on the screen so you can use it in the dark, which is nice if the child/baby is sleeping and you dont want to turn the light on and wake him/her up to take their temp.
And I LOVE the way to folds up inside itself so you dont worry about loosing the cap or cover, which I always do.
This is a quality thermometer and especially for the price!! So easy to use and much more accurate than the ear thermometers (dont EVER buy one of those, theyre a complete waste of money and dangerous to your baby by being so inaccurate!!)
Great Product 2005-08-19
This is a great product. I love that there is no caps to cover the reader part of the thermometer and nothing gets lost. It gives you a quick and accurate reading. My child didnt even feel it in the rectum so that made me feel so much better.
GREAT PRODUCT AND GREAT PRICE..
not reliable 2005-07-18
I liked the idea of how fast the thermometer read, and how it folds into itself for storage. However, when my son was 9 months old, he had croup. We took his temperature rectally before we left for the doctors and it read only 99.9 degrees. At the doctors, only 15 minutes later, the doctor's thermometer read 103.5 degrees. There was a big difference. When we went home, I took his temp again (under the arm) with this thermometer and another. This one was still reading about 3 degrees lower. I threw it out after this.
Quickly Inaccurate 2005-06-16
According to my new 10 second digital thermometer, I have died recently and am rapidly cooling off. I have found that it is inaccurate by several degrees and is inconsistent. I was attracted by the quick reading time and other good reviews. Unfortunately, I won't bother using this thermometer on my son since I can't trust the temperature it tells me.
Digital thermometer 
2008-04-18
Our old glass and mercury thermometer finally died. Since I very seldom need a thermometer and rather than purchase a high-priced digital model, I decided to get this one. So far it seems to work just fine.
Recommended 2007-05-30
I'm a nurse, so I'm extra picky about health care products. This is my choice for my two girls. It's fast. It has a ridge to indicate how far in to insert the thermometer rectally. It's backlit so you can read it in a dimly lit room. And it's accurate.
Great, simply put. 2006-06-01
I like that it folds up, takes ONLY 10 seconds to get an accurate temp and has been reliable for 1+ years. I use plastic covers over the end that I find at Walmart.
Don't Bother 2006-04-26
The 10 seconds that it runs for doesn't give accurate results. I have had to run it several times to get the correct reading back.
not impressed 2006-03-21
I wasn't impressed with this thermometer. It looked handy, considering how it folds up in itself to make it more compact, but it turned out to be a dud. For one thing, it took longer than ten seconds to get a rectal reading. Plus, it stopped working correctly after just a few uses. I'm not sure why this happened, because we always used and cleaned it exactly according to the instructions. Perhaps it was just a design flaw, or perhaps I got a "lemon." At any rate, I found a much better 10-second rectal thermometer that actually works like it should, and I'm very pleased with it: the Vick's Baby Rectal Thermometer. It's the same price as this one, but it has a large, back-lighted display for easy reading and the design guarantees that you can't insert it too far. I love the Vick's. It's just a better thermometer.
