I bought this item as a gift and when it arrived the battery was dead. Apparently the customer service at the company was unwilling to work with the friend I purchased this for, so now she has a $10 bath toy. Who makes a baby product with irreplaceable batteries?? I gave it one star because I had to in order to post the review, not because the product earned it.

We've been using this thermometer daily for over a year now, and with absolutely no trouble. My son uses it as a toy as well as it being very useful for keeping the water at the right temp. My only complaint is that I wish the temps weren't spaced 2 degrees apart (93, 95, 97...) Overall it is definitely worth every penny!

This adorable little turtle (so cute my kids fought over it) does not keep an accurate temperature. In a tub full of ~100 degree water, he consistently read 72-74 degrees. Tried resetting, no luck. If I didn't already have a pretty good idea about the water temp, I could have really scalded my kids. Cute, but unsafe, unsafe, unsafe. Returning it immediately.

Worked for a couple of weeks then, as per numerous other reviews, the battery ran out. Unless you read the small print on the package, you would not know it is "non user servicable". It's a disgrace that a company can make such a product. Don't buy.

After putting my little one in a too hot bath, I purchased this little guy and he was wonderful. It floats around and takes the temperature every few minutes, and after 10-15 minutes, it turns off automatically. Super practical, not big, so we take it with us when we travel. The only reason I am getting another one is because my dogs chewed off his tail and leg and now he sinks to the bottom and doesn't really work well. I really like this!

The battery died, and it appears you can't change it. Also, it looks like water leaked into the part where it displays the temperature. It was cute and fun for the baby while it lasted, but now we need to find something else that works.

I purchased this when my daughter was born and it worked perfectly for about 6 months. It was accurate and dependable. The battery died and they are not replaceable! I ordered another one on Amazon and couldn't wait to get it. I received it and the new one didn't even come on, battery was dead. I returned it and exchanged it for another one figuring must be some fluke. The next one I received was dead too! I sent it back for a refund and bought a new tub with temperature strip right in it. Perfect! Great little item if it worked but not worth the trouble and you don't know how long it is going to last you?

It seemed like such a great concept- and then after the 3rd use it got water in the digital read out and no longer worked!
Since it is supposed to be waterproof we are not happy.

Mine didn't work from day 1! But we kept it anyway, my son still likes to play with it. it makes a cute bath toy, but nothing else.

Received this as a gift. It did not work. After reading other reviews I decided to get a refund rather than exchange it - by the sounds of it very few of these don't break after a few uses.
