Our family has used one of these unusual looking thermometers for about two years. It is probably the easiest thermometer for anyone to use as you don't have to hold it in your mouth - - it just curves itself over your lower front teeth and the temperature probe sits comfortably just under the edge of your tongue. We misplaced ours and I've been to every store in town looking for one. I couldn't find one so I've purchased four other digital thermometers over the past couple months and we've put them all in the back of a drawer to be used only if we can't find another AccuCurve. I found the AccuCurve on the Internet tonight so we will purchase a couple more AccuCurve thermometers today!

FAST, ACCURATE, LARGE DISPLAY, STURDY, COMFORTABLE IN MOUTH. THERE IS NOTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT IT. TIMEX CHANGED BATTERY SUPPLIERS SO THE BATTERY IT COMES WITH ISN'T WHAT YOU SHOP FOR. THE REPLACEMENT IS ENERGIZER #394 AND YOU CAN GET IT AT ANY RADIOSHACK. GET THIS THERMOMETER. IT RULES!!

The only reason I didn't give this product 5 stars is because I cannot find a replacement battery to save my life, even after contacting Timex and the MedLLC folks.

I used this as a BBT thermometer and the curved shape made it very easy to lay back down on my pillow while it was taking my temperature. The large digital readout with IndiGlo light makes it easy to read a temp in the dark or without your glasses on.

I may break down and just buy another one instead of trying to find the battery. It is well worth the investment!

I like the design of this thermometer. It is easy to hold under the tongue because of the curve and it reads in less than 5 seconds. It also comes with a nice case and protective sleeves.

It the best thermometer I ever had work great for my child its very easy to use and read wish I could buy as a gift for my friends it hard to find but I thank I GOD that I Have one I give it 5 stars for sure Timex Please made more

This is one of the most convenient thermometers I have ever used. They are no longer available in stores, so I was thrilled to find them on Amazon...

This thermometer is a great concept, however, it never worked. I replaced the battery, but that didn't help. It turned on and looked at though it was going to take a temp and then...nothing. My 3 and 5 year olds did not like how it sat in their mouth.

but it didn't mention that in the description.
I have purchased this item in other places and it has always come with the battery..so just fyi..I was disappointed to have to go out and get batteries.and then to have to take the thing apart to install them.

I have two small children so I often have a need for an accurate thermometer that isn't uncomfortable. This is it.

The electronic stick thermometers are too unwieldy for an 18 month old to deal with, and their numbers are too hard to read. The old fashioned liquid thermomteters take forever to get to an accurate temp.

These are easy for a small child to hold under their tongue, announce a read in about 10 seconds, and are consistent and accurate (compared against an old genuine mercury thermometer)

An excellent product, highly recommended. I now give them as gifts at baby showers.

Great design, comfortable, but like many of the "new generation" thermometers, it pops up with it's reading within a few seconds and the metal tip still feels cold in your mouth. The readings are way off.

I have 3 other thermometers that all read within .1 of each other, and this one is about a full degree off (usually .8 high). One of my other ones is a mercury fever themometer, and a basal mercury (only reads to 100 so easier to see small changes) and an older basal digital that takes 30 seconds or so to come up with a reading very close to the mercury ones.

Althought the Timex one doesn't say "predictive" it seems like some of the other "few second digitals" that do say "predictive" in terms of predicting what the temperature would be (before it fully warms up to that temperature). I would pay 3 times as much for an accurate thermometer, what good is something that guesses at your temperature?

I called the seller, they were very nice. I followed their recommendation and checked the battery on a meter - read very strong. So it wasn't the battery. The seller refunded with no hassles. Too bad this thing doesn't give accurate readings, I love the design as the other digitals are hard to keep in your mouth while you wait for the temp. (I monitor thyroid meds with temp, so I use a thermometer 3x a day).
