Classic Thermometer

Nice brand, I have ones, but I damaged and I bought the second time the same brand because I love it

Excellent quality

Bought this for Mum, who is deaf and cannot hear the beep of modern digital thermometers so she wanted a "traditional" thermometer.She loves it BUT could not get it to reset, as others have commented.After extensive internet research (!) I found a YouTube video called "How to Easily Reset Oral Thermometer Help Tutorial Shake Shaking Tutorial Instructions Guide", this advised putting it in a sock and whizzing it round quickly, like a homemade centrifuge. To my delight this method does work, and even Mum can do it with her arthritic shoulder.Therefore I am giving 4 stars, the deduction being because of all the research I had to do because it did not come with an instruction manual.I gather the liquid is gallium rather than the traditional (toxic) mercury. Just thought that was interesting!

These medical grade thermometers are consistently accurate, unlike many digital thermometers.If you are reading this then it’s highly likely you already know Geratherm are world class manufacturers of medical grade thermometers. No one beats Geratherm, a German company with meticulous attention to detail in everything they produce.“Speed Merchant” is the specific seller on Amazon that I bought from because I took the time to do my research and establish SM only sells GENUINE Geratherm thermometers.I am absolutely delighted with the thermometer and “Speed Merchant” earned its name by delivering to me from stock within just a day!Thank you ‘Speed Merchant’ and Geratherm.

Basically it broke by itself leaving me with it splitted in two parts: the metal part on one side and the remaining part of the thermometer on the other...

Quality value for money

I typed to search for a mercury thermometer, and this was described as a classic thermometer. It is a liquid metal thermometer, but NOT a mercury thermometer. It is extreemly slow to respond. The shape of the glass outer enclosure makes it want to be ejected from your mouth. It is more difficult to shake down as well, but that is not realy a problem. I was disapointed with its ease of use overall, however its accuracy is excellent

This is still the most reliable way to take your loved ones' temperatures!Having researched 30+ digital options that takes the temperature from the forehead or the ear, my conclusion was that I cannot trust any of them! They all seemed to be sold by different companies when in reality they all shared the same manufacturer in China! And all of the higher reviewed ones had shady reviews by non-Amazon-verified customers. The true reviews all seemed to say that the digital ones are widely inaccurate.All of the negative reviews associated with this product has nothing to do with its accuracy. Rather, it has to do with the customers not being able to reset the thermometer. I never had a problem with resetting it, and you probably won't either.This product simply works!
