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

Pleased that it is as easy to read as I hoped (so many other digital thermometers are confusing).

Best thermometer ever. You don’t have to wait a long time for it to read. Precise and accurate. Love it

This an update on the previous review below that was posted Sept 27. The package miraculously appeared on my porch when another Amazon package arrived. No further explanation, no change in tracking info. The product is as described and functions properly. Product never received. Package tracking says it was delivered by Amazon and personally handed over at my address. Not true! The part about personally handing it over has since disappeared from the package tracker

This is a terrible thermometer! It takes forever to go off, and it beeps so silently, I could not hear it at all until I took my own temperature to see if it was actually beeping. Once I had it in my mouth and just inches from my ear I could hear a slight three beeps when it went off, but the light doesn’t come on or anything to alert you that it’s finished. Then you have to push the button again to try to see what the temperature was. For $10 I expected much much much much more. I didn’t expect it to take a full minute or so to give a body temperature and I expected it to light up and one of the red orange or green colors once it’s finished reading the temperature. I have a $2.79 Thermometer I bought on Amazon that takes a minute but doesn’t have a light. It’s hard to read in the middle of the night with the lights off! I’m so disappointed with this purchase at that price! For $10 it should beep loud enough to hear and it should light up once it’s done. What good does it light indicator do if the light doesn’t even come on! You’ve got to fumble in the dark to find out the reading! For this price you can find a much better product!

I bought this for my little nephew and it is reliable and good material.

easy to use, good price

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.

Huge display and is backlit. Cant beat the function of this thermometer. Price is affordable. This will last part the battery life Im sure. Wish I found this one first. I tried a cheap thermometer and only powered on and then failed to function. I ended up returning that one. Finally through lengthy search I found this. Very happy with it. Color variations and audible alert chime of elevated temperature. So easy to read temp in bright light or dark room. I highly recommend this item.

We have 4 of these scattered around our house as we use often (child has a condition). They are slightly off each other (usually by 0.1-0.3 degrees, but some times as much as 1.0, which is annoying) but generally consistent for each device (so we have numbered ours and try to stick to using one). Super easy for our child to use and easy to see readings and we can turn back on to see last reading of child doesn’t report it to us. They don’t seem to work as well once battery replaced - mind you, that could be an issue with the replacement battery which we haven’t tested yet. For the price and ease of use for a child, we’ll stick with these.

This thermometer is so fast and easy to read. Wish I had gotten it long ago.
