Customer Reviews

Easy to use and accurate
I researched thermometers through Consumer Reports before deciding on this one (and after breaking the old-fashioned mercury thermometer that I'd had for years, and loved). This was the most highly-rated one that CU reviewed and I can see why. It's extremely easy to use and very accurate. I would definitely recommend this product.

Quality Thermometer
I purchased this thermometer b/c Consumer Reports recommended it. It takes longer to record a temperature than an "instant read" digital thermometer, but it's cheaper and just as accurate. I recommend it.

Works great!
I bought this thermometer based on several reviews that I had read and that it had been recommended in Consumer Reports. I have been using this product for about 2 months now for recording my morning temperature as part of tracking my fertility.

Pros: I brought this to my gynecologist appointment and asked my nurse practitioner to take my temperature. Since their equipment has to be checked regularly for accuracy, I figured it would be a good test to see how accurate this thermometer really is. The BD Digital thermometer came up with the same temperature as the clinic thermometer...very accurate!
In addition, it comes with a case to protect the display and keep the probe end from getting dirty between uses.
When you turn on the thermometer it will give you the last temperature it recorded and there is a backlight feature.

Cons: You do have to be more patient with this thermometer than some others out there as it takes approximately 1 minute to get the temperature, but this is part of its accuracy...if it took less time, it would not be as accurate.
Also in order to let you know that it is still working, it beeps every four seconds until it is done when it beeps 3 more times. The beeping wouldn't be so bad, except it is quite loud. I put my finger over the hole in the underside of the thermometer to dampen the noise a bit.
The backlight does not stay on the whole time the display is on. I'm sure it is to save battery life; and since the thermometer does give you it's last recorded temp when you turn it on again, it really isn't that big of a deal for me.

Overall, I really like this product and would buy it again as the cons are not really that bad and the thermometer is so accurate.
