Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fast & Reliable
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???



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Inaccurate
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 ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Fast, but not so accurate
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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 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.

Fast - grade A
Convenience - grade A
Accuracey - grade B




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - PERFECTO
ESTE TERMOMETRO FUNCIONA DE MARAVILLA Y ES DE LOS POCOS QUE ACEPTAN GRADOS CELCIUS
