| 'Does the job' | | Strengths:
Easy to use, stores last temp until next use, bleeper alerts when temp is successfully taken, very fast to use. Turns itself off after being inactive for 10 mins to save batteries. Battery life seems good, not needed new ones in 7 months. | | Weaknesses:
Would benefit from a backdrop light so that you can see the screen in the dark. | | Overall:
Can't complain about this thermometer really. It does what it's supposed to and seems to work well, once I got the hang of it it was easy to see retrospectively when I'd ovulated by keeping track of the temps.
It comes in a protective box, which is good for travel.
Compared to the mercurial thermometers this is a sinch to use, I had a mercurial one and gave up nearly immediately because shaking it down was such a pain and I found it less easy to read. You also have to wait around without moving with the thermometer in your mouth for 5 mins and have to switch the light on to time it, bit of a nuisance if you temp early.
This thermometer gives you a reading in about 5 seconds, and bleeps, so there's no doubt when it's successfully recorded.
If I had to change anything next time I'd get one with a backlit display for use in the dark as with this one when I was bleary-eyed in the morning it wasn't always clear for me from the bleep whether I had switched it on or off. So a couple of times I was waiting for a successfully taken temperature bleep futilely.
