Product Description |
| Mercury-free and glass-free, this digital thermometer makes a safe thermometer for the whole family. The Vicks 900 model completes a temperature reading in only one minute, beeps when done, and offers professional accuracy to within +/– 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit. A memory function allows comparison between the current and previous reading. Because the thermometer can be used orally, rectally, or under the arm, five disposable probe covers are included to help prevent contamination between family members (more covers can be purchased in pharmacies). Waterproof for easy cleaning with soap and water or rubbing alcohol, the thermometer measures 1 by 5-1/4 inches, and includes a battery, clear protective case with lid, and a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri |

Vicks Digital Thermometer
I have had this thermometer for about a year and 1/2. I use it every day on my wife who is in a nursing home. It reads very accurately. I have tested it against the nursing home digital thermometer and the Vicks is more accurate. The nursing home Digital sometimes doesn't measure at all or is way off as it is compared with another one. Sometimes I use the Vicks 6 times a day as my wife tends to get low grade temperatures. The batteries are still going strong. Would recommend this with out hesitation. Only problem I have is opening up the battery cover, but not worried yet as battery is strong. |
accurate, but hard to use:

| If you're an adult, have a large mouth, and are patient, this is the thermometer for you. However, this instrument is difficult to hold in your mouth because of the wedge design of the probe and it takes the full minute to register. I'm purchasing an ear thermometer. |
Essentially useless; reads way low

| Either the thermometer reads 2.5 degrees low or our family's normal temperature is 96.1 degrees. I just talked with customer service at the 800 number and the guy basically told me that I could ship it to them for a replacement if they found that it's not working correctly. I told him that this is ludricous; especially for something needed now. He basically said caveat emptor. If you buy, I would take it out and test it right in the store after you buy it and immediately take it back while you are there. We have had digital thermometers that seemed to be accurate within .1 to .3 degrees F; this one is useless if you don't establish some kind of baseline temperature over time for each member of your family. |
Useless

| Reads consistently low. I was quite sick and the thermometer never read about 97.5. I'm going to find the person who designed it and see if it works rectally. |
As with most digital thermometers, this one is junk too

Out of six digital thermometers I have had in my life, four were completely inaccurate right out of the box (by a few degrees!), the fifth one failed completely after three months of intermittent use, and the sixth one's battery died just when I needed it. This Vicks digital thermometer read three degrees too low (which would indicate on the thermometer's display a normal 98.6, when you or your child actually had a temp of 101.6!!). While we may be in the "Digital Age" of the 21st century, if you want accuracy and 100% dependability, buy a simple mercury thermometer or, if you are worried about mercury (as I am), purchase a "Mercury Free Glass Oral Thermometer".
