so far the best themometer

2007-11-20
So far it is the best thermometer. I have had a very bad experience with ear thermometer before. So this one is fast, preatty accurate, and easy to use.

Perfect

My 4 month old daughter has never complained when I've used this thermometer, and neither have I! She hates the thermometer at the doctor's office, but with this one, there's no fear of pushing it too far, and it's over before she even knows it's there.

I didn't know what I was doing when I bought it, but I definitely made a great decision with this one! I highly recommend it!

Finally someone got it right...

It is a fight to take my 16 month old's temperate via rectal reading. Since this method is considered the most accurate I continued the fight. Enter Vick's...this is the best thing ever. It takes the temperature in 10 seconds accurately (I tested it against my tried and true old digital, rectal thermometer), and just as my son was about to protest, it was done. I also love that the bulb prevents overinsertion, which was a concern of mine as my son struggled against having his temp taken.

I plan on giving this as a gift at every future baby shower.

Easy to use

This is the only rectal thermometer that I can use. I tried other thermometers and hated them. I was afraid I was going to insert them too far or it would take forever to get a reading. With this thermometer you do not have to worry about inserting it too far and it gets an accurate reading quickly.

No complaints

Simple design. Easy to use. Accurate. I'm a RN and have been very pleased with this product. Glad we didn't waste our money on anything fancy.

The one for you if you are nervous about using a rectal thermo on your kid!

My pediatrician recommended a rectal thermometer because it is the most accurate. I was not happy about it until I found this one! Nobody wants to do this to their child but this gets a fast accurate reading and you know for sure you are not hurting them by putting it in too far. Love it!

NICE!

Easy and quick! And no worries about hurting my child. After reading all the great reviews about this thermometer I would have to agree with them. Small, uncomplicated, and accurate!

can't say enough good things about this thermometer

Fast, Accurate, Easy

I don't have much to add over the other reviews here - but this thermometer is very fast, seems to be much more accurate (readings are consistent over multiple attempts), and our son doesn't even realize what we're doing. We were initially against the 'rectal' route, but that was mostly based on old prejudices against really long, really slow older models (that we grew up with).

This thermometer has a very short probe (no worries about going too far), and he has yet to even notice what we're doing. And it reads in 10 seconds or less, which is great because you're trying to get a temperature when he's screaming and crying. The armpit model we used before took up to 60 seconds, which is an eternity when he's thrashing and you're trying to hold the probe under his (thrashing) arm.

All in all, works fantastic, it's pretty cheap, and we don't have to dread getting a temp!
