Please don’t buy
Overpriced and doesn’t work. You can take your temp at the same spot and get several diffeeent readings . I tested it against a traditional oral digital thermometer and I have fever . I have an autoimmune disease and my fever has been 103 tonight . This piece of junk claimed I had 98.6. Seriously that isn’t safe . This needs to be discontinued and redesigned

I bought this thermometer for a quick, cheap buy because my 2 yr. old had a severe fever and all I had was an Amazon gift card. I ended up taking him to the hospital before it arrived, which later ended up being the best decision I ever made as he had pancreatitis and metapneumo virus. Surprisingly, the thermometer worked great when I finally did use it and it is super light weight. I'm happy with my decision.

I found the readings to be inaccurate. I read the amazon reviews prior to purchasing, and some people did say that. Others said it was great. I took a reading when my child was sick and it said 105.9--when she really could not have possibly had that high of a fever. I am still looking for a replacement. :(

I like Vicks, but I regret this one..
This thing is a POS. You get what you pay for. Im sure it's accurate (+/- 3 degrees). This thing has a margin of error so wide, you're better off using your hand.

Best price I have ever seen! I purchased the same item at a local retail store for my daughter to use with my new granddaughter and it is wonderful. It is perfect for the entire family to use. It is accurate and is so easy to use. I wanted to purchase one to use for my granddaughter when she is at my home and was fortunate to come across this seller!
