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

works very good

Amazon suggests buying LR 44 batteries for this thermometer right on its main sales page. This is NOT the right type and you won’t be able to use them. It’s a mistake. Thermometer is good and fast.

Very easy to use and it only takes maybe 10 seconds for a read out. Plus, it has three colors to let you know if you are in normal range (green). low fever (yellow) or high fever (red).

We had an earlier version of this Vicks thermometer, which was not good, but this current model is much improved. It is easy to use and read. Reasonably priced.

This thermometer has a large display that is very easy to read, and it yields a final temperature reading very quickly. I also bought a similar Vicks thermometer with the ComfortFlex feature (in the same order). Both thermometers consistently show temperature within 0.1 degrees (Fahrenheit) of each other, and their readings appear accurate when compared to other digital and glass thermometers that I have. The only drawback is that they read so quickly that you can get inconsistent results unless you position the tip in a good location very quickly, and keep it there for 8 seconds. I usually take three readings because I dont always get it positioned fast enough, and/or I dont keep the tip in a good location for the whole 8 seconds. I get a little better consistency if I put the thermometer tip on the top of my tongue for a few seconds to warm it up just a little. Then I take it out, turn it on, and put it under my tongue as soon as the display reads Lo. Note: I was disappointed with a cheaper ($5) digital thermometer because it was slower, less consistent, harder to read, and the poor design allowed liquid to get inside. The Vicks thermometer is much better all around, and is well worth the few extra dollars in price.

I wanted speed, but didnt want to pay a lot since its just for adults. I wasnt disappointed, as it works very quickly and seems accurate. (How can you really tell?) Id buy it again.

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.

Item is easy to read and use, but unable to switch from F to C.

I’ve only used this twice, but absolutely love it. Very easy to use and read, and even has a color change on it for even easier verification. Very fast too.

Love this thermometer. Have given it as a gift. Easy to read. But the battery life seems short. Possibly due to the green light, and larger screen? This makes it easier to read. So, its a trade off. Be advised - Takes a watch battery, not regular button batteries.
