Vicks SpeedRead V912US Digital Thermometer, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Ive had bad experiences with digital thermometer over the years. Basically they were inaccurate, would malfunction after a few uses or the batteries would die right before I needed to use it. Im grateful that I still had an old school glass mercury thermometer during those times. Its accurate, no batteries needed but yes its a potential hazard to oneself and the environment if it breaks. However, think of all of the pollution from button batteries with production to disposal, and accidental ingestion by children! Anyway Im really glad I ordered this one. Its accurate compared to the glass thermometer reading, very quick and easy to read. I wont be using the plastic covers on it but will instead save them for my old thermometer in case I need to use it. I also planned ahead and ordered some cheap thermometer batteries on Amazon to have on hand in case this one dies right when I need it. Update: I did more comparison testing with my mercury thermometer, and to get the most accurate reading with the Vicks thermometer make sure that its far back underneath your tongue; otherwise you will NOT get an accurate reading.

This is my favorite thermometer. Mine finally broke and I was able to replace it finally. It was sold out for a while due to COVID. I was elated. I bought a different Vicks and it wasn’t the same. It’s very accurate, easy to read, and easy to use. Highly recommend and the price is right. Vicks also stands behind their product.

Works for me when I’m sick

Compact, soft and flexible tip with a big digital display. Great for first aid kit and a good price.

Finally! This is the thermometer I’ve been looking for. It’s quick, accurate, and easy to read. I bought two inaccurate forehead thermometers and one other cheaply made oral one before finding this one. Thank you, Vicks!

Works and came intact

Works great and is easy to use!

What are the nice if they sent the product and the battery wasn’t dead or/low?

I had become so used to using my old thermometer that I had no idea the technology had progressed to this point, and for under $10!!!! This thing not only tells your temperature but it (1) does it in less than 10 seconds, (2) has a very large readout, and (3) has a background that changes color according to increments above 98.6. (I should mention that before this purchase I tried a different one that was a few dollars cheaper, but LUCKILY it was flawed, and I sent it back. What a karmic gift!!) I would be shocked (shocked, I say) if anyone has anything bad to say about this thermometer. Thats my story and Im sticking to it.

When someone at home is sick the one thing you want is an accurate temperature read, we have 4 different style thermometers and this one is truly our go to over all of them, so much so that Ive bought it twice! Easy and fast results every time, I also love that the color indicator changes depending on your results to give you a clearer indication on fevers.
