Review on IPROVEN® Digital Thermometer - Rectal And Oral With Flexible Tip, 10-Second Read, Fever Alarm, And Hardcase For The Whole Family by Daniel Bulkley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Takes longer than 10 seconds

I rarely leave reviews and I thought I did my research in choosing this thermometer. However, what they do not tell you is that the "10 second" response time is only established once the thermometer climbs upto your constant temp. So it could that 25 to 40 seconds. Other brands, know that any human body temp will, at the very least, be above 95° or you have hypothermia. Other brands, and I tested 3, start out at 90° and then count upto of down to your bodies consistent temp. A newborn does not like to hold still, so for me, that 10 second read was why I bought this and at best it takes 28 seconds on average. Also, comparatively it was always off 1-3 degrees. if time and accuracy are important, you might wish to look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Easy to use and easy to clean, durable and accurate
Cons
  • It only worked for one year. In that year it worked well.
