Customer Reviews
It broke the first day I used it 
2005-09-21
I bought 5 thermometers. The first day I used one it broke. The tip came completely off and the wires inside came out. I hope the other ones I ordered are not that cheap. I spent a lot of money on these because I thought they would last a long time.
New and first time to use 
2005-08-05
I tried two times with new this temperature. It is really easy to read the numbers. It is really quickly for few seconds. And also this temperature has soft tip and can move and curve that can use for mouth but for straight only use underarm but it is soft blue part and flexible. I would get it more next time because easy to read and more comfortable that you can move it. this is new that is not usual as other different temperatures. Plus it is safe to use this temperature.

I work in the Veterinary profession and this is the best thermometer ever! It is the fastest thermometer that I have ever found which really comes in handy for our patients. It makes things much easier on everyone involved. Fast and accurate, what more would one ask for???
Inaccurate 
2007-03-28
I bought this in anticipation of a liver transplant. I knew I would have to take my temp several times a day in the weeks after the surgery. Unfortunately, this thermometer was horribly inaccurate. I could take my temperature one time and I would show that I was running a fever. I could reset it and take the temperature again and it would show that it was below normal. The fluctuation could be as much as 2 to 3 degrees at time. I even checked it against the thermometers used in the hospital and it was always off by at least 1 degree.
Very inaccurate and potentially dangerous. Don't waste your money on this one - go with BD or another tried and true medical brand. Timex needs to stick to watches.
Fast, but not so accurate 2007-02-20
The plus side of this thermometer is that it is amazingly fast at giving you your temperature. The downside, is its accuracy does not seem to match its speed. While I don't have a good way to calibrate the thermometer, I have tried taking my temperature a couple times in succession and gotten readings that vary by more than a degree. It also, on a couple of occasions, told me that my temperature is about 120F, which is unlikely as 105-6F will kill you.
Works Good

It's fast, convenient, and fairly accurate. It gives a reading in under 10 seconds. I would have given it 5 stars but it isn't 100% accurate. I took different readings only seconds apart it and it gave me three different temperatures, although they were only .2 degrees away. A mercury thermometer always gives the same reading if taken at the same time.
