Customer Review: What a disappointment!
Summary: 1 Stars
We purchased this thermometer out of desperation when both our boys (ages 3.5 years and 1 month) were sick and we needed to take their temperatures. We thought this would be great because it got such good reviews (on another website) from everyone else, liked that it is similar to those used in the hospital and were impressed by the 3 different probe tips for taking temperatures using different methods.
We found ourselves disappointed when we went to take our 3.5 year old son's temperature with the armpit attachment and it indicated that he did not have a temperature, when he actually had a temperature of 102. We repeatedly tried the armpit probe attachment and found it always read considerably lower than it should have. We ended up using the oral probe attachment to take his temperature under the arm which seemed to have a more accurate reading. However, we found that often this thermometer indicated that he did NOT have a temperature when in fact he did. We found a cheap digital oral thermometer did much better at assessing his temperature.
We tried the various probes with our 1 month old son and found similar results. The biggest problem we found was that the thermometer finished taking his temperature so quickly that it was inaccurate by 1-2 degrees!!! We would immediately take his temperature again and get a new higher reading. We found we had to complete this cycle 5-7 times before receiving the highest most accurate reading (as indicated by testing with the cheap digital oral thermometer). It seems as if you never get the same temperature reading twice, even if you don't remove the thermometer and retake the temperature immediately. How confusing.
All-in-all, we were extremely disappointed by the performance of this thermometer and ended up returning it to the store! We remain confused as to why other reviewers gave this thermometer such favorable reviews. Perhaps we ended up with a defective one? I'm not sure, it will be interesting to see if other consumers experience the same problems we did when using this product.
