  • Vicks is a thermometer you can trust

    I have not had good luck with thermometers, accumulating 4 relatively inexpensive (including the Vicks) and one that ran about $75 (the kind that doesn't have to touch you). All but two are junk - inconsistent, unreliable and never agreeing with each other. The two good ones are the Vicks and the Walmart brand (Reli-On). These consistently agree with each other, have relatively large easy to read displays, display the previous reading on start up (helping remind you if things are getting better or worse, have display background colors (green if reading is in good range, red if it's a fevor of concern), sound a reasonably loud beep when reading is complete, AND they return that completed reading really fast (Vicks is the quickest). Finally, with these two, I have thermometers I can trust.

  • Best & Easiest Thermometer On The Market!

    I read a few negative reviews of this thermometer, all claiming it was inaccurate, but read enough positives to take a chance on it. It's well worth it, and I discovered the reason for the negatives - they weren't reading the instructions! If you turn it on and immediately stick it in your mouth, the reading may be off. As long as you wait just a couple seconds for the thermometer to reset to show Lo, it works perfectly! Never misses! My old thermometer took soooo long to show the correct temp, sometimes 4-5 minutes. Even when it was new I had to wait 3 minutes. This one works in 8 seconds!! When your temp is normal, the readout will be on a green screen. If you have a low-grade fever, the screen turns yellow and if you have a high fever, it turns red. How simple life has become! No kids here, but I would think that taking a child's temperature would be a pain if you had to keep the thermometer in place and the child still for 3+ minutes. But 8 seconds? Anyone can handle that. It also comes with a case, disposable sleeves, and I LOVE that it stores the last temp taken! With Covid swarming the nation, everyone needs a new thermometer just to keep track of their health, to make sure that sore throat is nothing more. I HIGHLY recommend this Vicks SpeedRead. It's everything anyone could want - and more - in a thermometer! Btw, there are several imitators and off-brands. Don't risk it - Vicks is a well-known, well-respected brand in the health-care market. Stick to what you know.

  • Great Experience - Im so happy I found an easy to read thermometer

    Bought two thermometers after desperately looking everywhere for one. I needed one for our home and an elderly relative. The item was exactly what I was looking for and came quickly (especially considering the current circumstance) The price was high (which was why I put no under good value) That said, again, considering the circumstances, I can understand why but I wanted to be honest about the purchase. Considering what I went through to find a thermometer I was familiar with and trusted and also had a large display, even with the price being higher, at this moment in time it was well worth it. I was happy to find one and get it quickly as we desperately needed it. Overall a great experience :)

  • The best of it's kind

    A delight to use. As advertised, get a reading in about 8 seconds. Then display uses backlight and is much larger than most digital thermometers. Finally, the last reading is kept in memory. Is also color-coded to temperature but that is just a frill. I compared it to a mercury thermometers and they match. I have been taking my temperature each morning and night to establish a baseline, and now I know that my normal temp is 97.4 in the morning

  • Easy to use

    I wanted a digital thermometer to replace my old glass thermometer. Vcks Comfortflex gets the best reviews. This is the same thermometer except the tip doesn't flex The flexable tip is really intended more for use on a child. Since that wasn't an issue for me, the Speedread is fine for my needs. I doubt that it would be a problem for anyone but a very young child. It is easy to use and gives an accurate reading. It gives a very low beep when the reading is ready, but that can be a hard to hear. The dial suddenly turning color [red/green/yellow] is a much more obvious indication that the reading is ready. Price is noticeably higher than in pre-pandeic days, but unfortunately, that's human nature.

  • Best one I've tried so far!

    This Vicks brand thermometer is pre-set to Fahrenheit (many thermometers are pre-set to celsius & are impossible to re-set!). It is incredibly fast to register temperature and seems accurate. One can only hope!

  • Love this thermometer

    Fast, accurate, super easy to use. Push the button and put it in ur mouth in a few seconds it beeps. Big, easy to read numbers that stuck around in case you forget, or if u forget. Has some other features I haven’t used yet. And the price is right.

  • Why I bought this product:

    My seven year old digital thermometer died from old age, probably battery failure. I ordered what I thought to be a worthy replacement and was disappointed in the forever time required to reach "beep" and hey, the eyes found it hard to read the tiny display. So now, even a simple digital thermometer requires a bit of consumer sleuthing. This is what I found. Vick's Speed Read tops several lists of "best buys" and did not disappoint. It's quick and the large round readout makes for easy reading sans glasses or dim light. Yes, it cost more, but worth it.

  • It's a must have

    Easy to use and it only takes about 6 secs for a reading. The numbers are big and the 3 color system makes it easy to identify the temperature range. The fact that you can use it on 3 places on the body is great.
