Customer Reviews of BD Digital Thermometer
Customer Review: Accurate, well constructed
Summary: 5 Stars
Strong reviews from Amazon and Consumer Reports convinced me to buy the BD Digital Thermometer - after being disappointed by several other types over the years.
The pluses:
- The construction is solid and the fit and finish are excellent.
- Accuracy and consistency are very good. Our three BD units usually read within 0.1 degree of one another, but every once in a while a unit will give an initial reading that is a degree or so low.
- The memory feature is handy. The thermometer upon startup displays the last temperature.
- Battery replacement is easy.
Minor issue:
If you immediately take your temperature again, the unit will display a temperature higher by 0.4 degree or so. This and other digital thermometers are most accurate on the first reading. Digital thermometers have to compensate for the loss of heat from the housing. If there is retained heat from an immediately prior use, the unit will read a bit higher on the second (and third) use. So, rely on the first reading.
Notes:
- This unit takes about a minute to display your temperature. However, test reports show that units that display a result more rapidly are less accurate.
- Hold this and any thermometer in place under the tongue without shifting. The tip should be fairly deep into the back of the mouth for the most accurate reading.
- Body temperature can vary 1 to 2 degrees through the day. Temperature is usually lowest in the early morning and peaks in late afternoon. Don't worry about there variances.
Bottom line: A good unit that is well constructed and accurate.
