Equate Digital Thermometer – Oral, Rectal, or Underarm, 30-Second Reading

Works like a charm. To all those one star reviews claiming the unit came was a dead battery due to the lo symbol. Read the pamplet the lo symbol past starting the unit is normal it indicates the unit is ready to measure your temp it does not indicate a low battery.

94.1 was the first temperature reading and subsequent readings were somewhere between 94.1 and 96.1 (thermometer really likes that .1). It did get up to 97.1 but now it's back down 96.1. Our no-touch thermometer always 97.1 to 97.7, which is incorrect, so we got this oral thermometer which is worse than the no-touch thermometer. Will be returning.

I was truly disappointed in this product. Sick and really need to take my temperature, but the thermometer will only go up to 97°. I double check to make sure I was following the instructions properly. Perhaps it was just this particular unit that is defective.

Now we dun used this thing about 6-7 times and it gives a temp reading of good every time. Dun did under arm, mouth and well didn't do the other option because who wants that in their mouth after sticking this thing in someone's back side? Overall good deal and decent temps. Thought bout using it for my turkey as a meat thermometer but was advised the plastic might melt and don't want to spread BPAs.

Its a good thermometer but, it came with a dead battery and if i knew that was going to happen i would of ordered a battery a head of time.I got it because it said it had a battery sio,when i went to use it the battery was dead right out from the new box.

My last 30 second thermometer finally gave out so I ended up trying one of the "quick-read" types. According to that one I had a fever 24/7. After doctor's visits, I would come right home to compare temps and it was always a full degree higher than the doctor's office. The 30 second types were always the closest in accuracy to what they would register me at the hospital, so I'm sticking with these. This Equate one has been almost dead-on accurate so far, and is well worth the low price.

Works great. I also compared this with other thermometers I had, although there were slight differences but this works okay compared to others. Personally, I prefer mercury thermometer better as I don't have to worry about the battery and the accuracy.

It is slow and takes 2-3 minutes to give the final measurement . Usually other digital thermometers give readings within 20-30 seconds or even faster . Not sure if it's the issue with this specific thermometer but I read similar reviews about slowness iofthis thermometer

Purchased this thermometer when my girls had the flu since an old one stopped working and it was inexpensive. Got it home and the battery was dying, and with what little power it had left didn't read the correct temperature (I ended up borrowing two others that read the same temperature and this one was off by 2 degrees). Not worth the hassle to go back and buy batteries for it to have it read incorrectly

Hard to believe all the good reviews. I'd think I just got a bad one but I read the one-star reviews %26 see I'm not the only one complaining about the temperature. Even on the highest setting, it's barely warm enough to think it's even on. Ridiculous waste of money!
