Customer Rating: Summary: Inaccurate readings Comment: My child was sick with a fever I used this thermometer because it quickly gave a reading. But when she did not feel the least bit warm and it showed her temp over 101. I checked it again and it said 99. I am needing a thermometer to be accurate and consistent! This product does not meet my standards. Customer Rating: Summary: no good Comment: we like the shape, because it cannot go further into the baby than it should. But its very hard to make t read F, it always goes back to celsius and doesnt switch easily you have to try several times while you baby might pee or start to cry! also after a few uses it doesnt read accurately, I noticed that after taking the tampereature a few times in a row, they were all different and not just decimals, but by 1 or 2 whole degrees !! Customer Rating: Summary: superior thermometer Comment: I LOVE this product and actually contacted the company to let them know. Here is a copy of my communication to them:
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for making such a superior product. As a mother to a 2 ½ year old and an 11 week old, I own several thermometers and performed my fair share of temperature readings. A few months ago I purchased your QuickRead digital thermometer to keep in my diaper bag as a spare. After using the product a few times, I have decided to replace all other thermometers I own with more QuickReads. From end to end, what a great product! Here is what I love about it:
 Extremely quick readings
 The shape of the tip allows for perfect insertion
 Tip is also flexible, allowing for "wiggle room"
 Button is the perfect size and easy to trigger
 Most importantly, the readout faces the reader - not the tush it's reading!
A digital thermometer is a parent's necessity. Unfortunately, the only way to find out which one works best is by trial and error. I am so glad I finally what I consider to be the best one on the market, and I thought I'd let you know what a good job your company has done."
Customer Rating: Summary: Easy to use, but not reliable Comment: We received this thermometer as a baby shower gift. For a few months it worked very well...easy to use. After about 8 months it started acting strange, giving us inaccurate readings. The final straw was when the thermometer read 104.8 degrees sending us to the ER at midnight only to find out our son's temperature wasn't even over 100. The thermometer ended up in the trash can on our way out of the hospital. Customer Rating: Summary: I Love this Thermometer Comment: I love this themometer! With my first child my husband always called me a hypochondriac stating I always thought my baby felt warm well with this thermometer it actually glows an flashes if your child does have a fever,and only takes a few seconds! I love this and have recommended it to others!
