Q: Does this come with a cover?

Q: Can this be used to check infants temperature

submitted by Naveen - 1 year ago
  • A: NO! This thermometer does not have a flexible tip, so you cannot use it rectally in an infant. I am a nurse. I don't know how they are claiming this is safe for rectal use. It is not. You have to have a thermometer with a flexible tip.

    Very inaccurate & no re-set

    I needed a thermometer quickly so purchased this. It seemed ok until today when my temp registered,ovee 100. I know my body well enough to suspect this. I managed to find another thermometer and re-took my temp, which was in the 99s. Also, there seems no way to re-set this to low.

    This thermometer is not accurate. It gives mixed temperatures. I confirmed it’s not accurate when I went to the hospital and they took my temperature & it was very different from what this thermometer said. I brought this thermometer with me to the hospital so the nurses could see why I thought my temperature was what it was. I am a cancer patient and this thermometer caused me a lot of unneeded stress.

    Vicks Thermometer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved how fast, easy to use and efficient this Vick’s thermometer is! I love that you can use it orally, rectal or underarm. It even lights up red if you have a high fever! Green light if you’re okay and yellow if you have a fever. Super easy and convenient for adults and kids! A must have staple in my medicine cabinet

    Takes Out the Guesswork

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Vicks’ Speed Read Thermometer with Fever Insight, and it’s become my go-to thermometer for quick and reliable readings. What I appreciate most is how fast it works—within seconds I have an accurate temperature, which is especially helpful when someone isn’t feeling well and doesn’t want to wait. The Fever Insight feature is a great touch. The color-coded display makes it incredibly easy to understand the results at a glance, even when I’m tired or checking a temperature in the middle of the night. Green for normal, yellow for elevated, and red for fever takes the guesswork out of interpreting numbers. The thermometer is simple to use, comfortable, and easy to clean. I also like that it gives consistent readings and feels sturdy rather than flimsy. Whether I’m using it for myself or a family member, it gives me peace of mind knowing I’m getting quick, clear, and dependable results. I would definitely recommend the Vicks Speed Read Thermometer with Fever Insight to anyone who wants a fast, user-friendly thermometer at home.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this thermometer!! It has a good size screen and it's digital so it's easy for everyone to read. The beep lets you know when it's done and My favorite part is the window lights up and color changes depending on if you have a fever or not. Green is good to go and if you have a fever the light is red! So simple to use and read. It's good quality plastic with an easy to push button and easy to clean after use! This is a thermometer that everybody should have, makes life a lot easier and when you are sick that helps tremendously!! I definitely recommend it.....

    Does not read accurate reading. Either my kids have a fever or they do not. This thing is all over the place with temps. Armpits and oral. Leave it in one spot turn it on off then on and continue keeps coming back way different readings. For a $10 thermometer this sucks!
