Customer Reviews of TIMEX 2224 5 SECOND ORAL DIGITAL THERMOMETER
Customer Review: A near perfect consumer product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two small children so I often have a need for an accurate thermometer that isn't uncomfortable. This is it.
The electronic stick thermometers are too unwieldy for an 18 month old to deal with, and their numbers are too hard to read. The old fashioned liquid thermomteters take forever to get to an accurate temp.
These are easy for a small child to hold under their tongue, announce a read in about 10 seconds, and are consistent and accurate (compared against an old genuine mercury thermometer)
An excellent product, highly recommended. I now give them as gifts at baby showers.

Customer Review: Great Thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
I like the design of this thermometer. It is easy to hold under the tongue because of the curve and it reads in less than 5 seconds. It also comes with a nice case and protective sleeves.Customer Review: Timex AccuCurve 30 second oral thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend this thermometer for anyone with children. The curved mouth piece simply hangs over the lip without having to be placed under the tongue. Great productCustomer Review: Not Accurate, but comfortable
Summary: 2 Stars
Great design, comfortable, but like many of the "new generation" thermometers, it pops up with it's reading within a few seconds and the metal tip still feels cold in your mouth. The readings are way off.
I have 3 other thermometers that all read within .1 of each other, and this one is about a full degree off (usually .8 high). One of my other ones is a mercury fever themometer, and a basal mercury (only reads to 100 so easier to see small changes) and an older basal digital that takes 30 seconds or so to come up with a reading very close to the mercury ones.
Althought the Timex one doesn't say "predictive" it seems like some of the other "few second digitals" that do say "predictive" in terms of predicting what the temperature would be (before it fully warms up to that temperature). I would pay 3 times as much for an accurate thermometer, what good is something that guesses at your temperature?
I called the seller, they were very nice. I followed their recommendation and checked the battery on a meter - read very strong. So it wasn't the battery. The seller refunded with no hassles. Too bad this thing doesn't give accurate readings, I love the design as the other digitals are hard to keep in your mouth while you wait for the temp. (I monitor thyroid meds with temp, so I use a thermometer 3x a day).
