 Worst thermometer EVER! November 26, 2007

Serious inadequacies in order of importance:
1. No backlight! WTF?! How can someone read this thing first in the morning without turning on a light?
2. IMPOSSIBLE to push on/off button.
3. Read out to hundredths (97.88) when it should be tenths (98.9) accd to TCOYF.
4. Very slow.
Really useless. I scavenged the battery and threw the rest away. Buy something with a backlight.
 I really don't like this thermometer November 26, 2007

The only reason that I didn't give this only 1 star is that it will eventually give you an accurate temperature. But the memory feature on mine has never worked... which I only figured out after recording a week of 97.70 every day. If you don't shake it down (I thought you didn't have to do that with a digital) every morning, it will beep that it is finished within 25-30 seconds and have an extremely low reading. I usually have to take my temperature at least 3 times to get an accurate reading - and all that beeping then wakes up my husband, too.
I'm hoping that investing a few more dollars into a "higher-end" model will be worth it.

This product does what it says it does. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated. Stick it under your tongue when its ready and a couple seconds after its starts to beep and Voila! you have a reading.
Kind of useless to me September 21, 2007

I tend to wake up a lot while sleeping, so I need to take my temp before I am actually "up" for the day. As such, I wanted something that would let me rely on the memory feature. This memory feature is completely intermittent. Sometimes you get the last temp, sometimes you don't. To further confuse things, the thermometer shows "97.7" every time you turn it on. I'm never sure if 97.7 is the actual temp or if it dropped my reading again. After an entire month of charting, I think I've only got 4 days of accurate temperatures. The button is hard to push, you actually need to use your fingernail to turn it on. I wouldn't buy it again.

THis product works for what I want it for. I do not really use the charts, but it works good. it does not recall the last temperature, like it should, but it stays up a long time.
