3.0 out of 5 stars Good device but yearly probe replacement required, September 23, 2008

By

This review is from: WELCH ALLYN SURETEMP® PLUS ELECTRONIC THERMOMETER

As a physician who has used many electronic thermometers, this one is about the best and fastest. It stands up to abuse well as my nurse has dropped it numerous times and it still functions fine. My only complaint(and the reason why I gave 3 stars not 5) is that the probe needs to be replaced regularly. I spoke with an individual in customer support who stated the average probe lasts approximately one year, then needs to be replaced(an error message comes up, rendering the unit unusable). The probe replacement is ~$85. I think that if you spend this amount of money on a thermometer, you should get more than a years use out of it before having to replace expensive parts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a Quick-Read Thermometer that Works, February 28, 2011

This review is from: Welch Allyn Suretemp Plus 690 Electronic Thermometer #01690-200 (Health and Beauty)

I have wasted a lot of money on inexpensive "instant-read" thermometers. I have found them all to be unreliable, giving wildly inconsistent readings. I consulted with a health practitioner, who recommended the Welch Allyn Suretemp Plus 690. It works. It gives consistent temperature readings. Wahoo!

I was concerned by another review that indicated the thermometer wears out quickly, but I decided that pertained to a busy health care office environment, and would not be a concern for limited home use.

Note the probe covers are required: without a cover, an artifically high temp is reported. Also, one must use the Welch Allyn brand of probe cover; they are specially made to fit the device.

I am tracking my temperature every morning and need a thermometer with a screen that is easy to read. This one is great. Bought two others cheaper ones that broke in use quickly. Really does take my temperature in 4 seconds.
