'Works ok but not my thing'
Strengths:
It works as it should.
Weaknesses:
Not that easy to use, you need to wait for a while for the temperature to be readable. The readings are only given in plusses and minusses, not absolutes. You have to read the temperature and make a note of it as you record it, it's not saved for next time. You need to shake the thermomenter down between readings and you can't do this before you take your temperature as it will affect the reading. It's delicate and you really don't want to break it.
Overall:
I don't think this is a bad thermometer, it's just not a thermometer that I could get on with, way too much hassle. I tried it for a couple of days and really found it a nuisance to wait the right time for a reading when I was half asleep. I got a digital one shortly afterwards and it's a breeze in comparison. You simply turn it on stick it in your mouth and wait for the bleeps. You don't need to time anything of make an immediate note of the reading.

I can't say that this is a bad version of what it is, but I'd recommend to anyone considering it that they got a digital thermometer instead. The only argument against a digital is the environmental cost of the batteries, but they're tiny and mine still haven't run out. I'd look at cyclotest's digital offerings and not waste money on this one.

I can't slate it in the ratings because it did what it claimed to, but would advise you to not bother with it.
