inaccurate !!
took temperature 5 times in a row and got completely different results each time ranging from 95.9 to 98.7 and all that within 15 minutes.
I then used a classic mercury thermometer twice in a row and both times I got 98.9.
If a fever thermometer cannot give you accurate readings well then its just useless, plain and simple.
UPDATE 4/29
after reading all the wonderful reviews on here I thought that maybe my thermometer had been broken do I returned it and purchased a new one.
I just took my temperature orally 5 times in a row again.
Every reading was completely different. I got temperatures from 97. 5 too 100.8. (!!)
I honestly do not understand these good reviews of the product. It is totally inaccurate and 100% useless.
DONT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP IT IS A WASTE OF $ and time with a dash of extra annoying.
