Customer Reviews of Basal Digital Thermometer

Customer Review: The best on the market, unfortunately.
Summary: 4 Stars

The Bad:
I've owned a BD digital thermometer for the last 8 years. My first one stopped working after 5 years. The replacement only lasted 2 years and was inconsistent from the day I got it. I actually bought 2 this time around to save on shipping, since I expect to replace it again.

The flaw in the product is that randomly it just stops working. Typically it takes between 90 seconds and 2 minutes to take a temperature, beeping every 4 seconds or so, ending with a string of beeps to let you know that it's done. Every 10 or 15 uses, the beeping begins to slow. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 minutes and finally gives the ending beep. Sometimes it just doesn't ever stop. I timed it once out to 10 minutes with the last beep being at 7 1/2 minutes before I turned it off and tried it again. It does this more often when used to measure an actual fever.

The Good:
It's the best basal thermometer on the market. Perhaps that's because it's getting harder and harder to find one made by anyone else. But, when it actually works, it's an appropriately sensitive thermometer. And after all, the main reason to but a basal thermometer is for its sensitivity to 0.01 degrees. It does that, so I put up with its "idiosyncrasies"
