Vicks RapidRead Digital Thermometer, Temperature Readings in 2 Seconds, Use as Oral Thermometer, Baby Rectal Thermometer or Under the Arm, Water Resistant

Wow, most devices have a plastic tab to protect the discharge of the battery, this did not. In the midst of my first covid case, I found all my thermometers had dead batteries, so I just ordered a new thermometer. This one came dead on arrival. So I ordered a bunch of batteries and have a thermometer for each room. This thermometer is awesome, soooooo fast!!!

Like others have said. Upon removing from packaging, will not turn on. Tried pressing & holding button. Still nothing. No battery protective plastic tab to preserve charge until customer receives. Shouldn't have to buy & replace a battery. Also, makes me wonder if that would even solve the issue. I've used Vicks thermometers (different style) for years as a veterinary tech w/o issue.

Looks great, works even better, and is so simple to use. I remember how complicated some thermometers seemed when I was a kid with those glass ones...man, people have it easy now, haha. Great price and great purchase.

My vet recommended this to me as the fastest thermometer and she was correct. My only complaint is that it didn’t come with a case, that’s why I only gave it 4 stars, but the product itself is amazing. Best thermometer I ever bought

Not useful for cooking

Didnt work. Contacted Vicks. Said they licensed the product to another company -Kaz - they sent an email saying they’d get back to me in 1-2 days. Haven’t heard anything. Update: company responded. I’ll update when resolved but now see many reviewers complained of deliveries with dead batteries. Vicks responded not their problem , contact seller. No way found to contact seller. Amazon, finally, refunded the cost via a credit. Which went partly to buying batteries which brought the thermometer back to life. They ship them with dead batteries.

The battery was dead on arrival, but it works well after we replaced it. I primarily wanted this for rectal temp and you have to press the on button then the "route" button three times with a pause between the before you get to the rectal option, which is definitely not convenient when you have a sick and squirmy baby you need an accurate temp on. The accuracy is also debatable, when I'm able to get baby to stay still, I take the temp 3 times, and often the second temp is a full degree less than the 1st and 3rd. I do appreciate the flexible tip though.

We actually use this thermometer for our dog and it seems very accurate. Easy to use and has different functions depending where you want to take the temperature. Screen is bright and easy to read.
