 Total Junk!!!! December 23, 2008
Please don't waste your money with this thing! It's the biggest piece of junk out there! The numbers don't show clearly at all, and every time you change the batteries it still doesn't work! I've had it with Vicks!!! This is the third Vicks thermometer I've bought and still nothing but garbage! So please don't buy this or any other Vicks thermometer because there all nothing but total junk!
Doesn't work for children May 29, 2008
This thermometer is not nearly accurate when I take temperature of my kids (always 1-2 degreees below). For adults it works ok though.
Worthless! April 8, 2008

It really gets 0 stars, but Amazon requires 1 minimum.
I Just returned from my doctors office where I learned that my temperature was a full degree above the normal to very low-grade fever I thought I had, which made all the difference in the world for some important treatment we had planned.
I brought it along and did 3 side-by-side comparisons to their professional grade thermometer. It was off on every reading.
I bought this because it has a slick little interface and had reasonable customer reviews (including those below). But, this is first and foremost a diagnostic device which should be above everything else, ACCURATE - and its not, period.
Now in the garbage can in my house, and thats a shame because I just bought it from Amazon a little more than a week ago.
 Totally Agree - Fast and Accurate April 22, 2007

This thermometer is the best choice. We have a family of 5 ranging from baby to 42 year old and the Vicks pro style thermometer is extremely fast (for baby's sake) and accurate (for everybody's sake).
get it and disregard the other thermometer choices.
Finally a thermometer that's fast AND accurate... March 27, 2007

I've tried a few digital thermometers, but this one is the best for the money. I found out really quick after my son was born that I needed a thermometer that was fast. 60 seconds is too long when you're dealing with a squirmy and sick baby. This one takes about 10 seconds and it seems to be fairly consistent with the readings. I had an ear thermometer and it gave me a different reading every time... I hated it! I recommend this one for fast and consistent readings.
