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.
