Product Reviews of Basal Digital Thermometer
Product Review: Can't stand the incessant beeping!
Summary: 1 Stars
This thermometer has a feature called "accubeep." It beeps loudly every 4 seconds during the minute or so that it takes to take your temperature. According to the manufacturer, this is supposed to assure you that the thermometer is correctly positioned in your mouth. At 6am, this is horribly annoying. Plus, being a basal thermometer, it is obviously intended for adult use, on a daily basis, I might add. What adult who takes her temperature every day would need help figuring out how to put the thermometer in her mouth? I had to stop using the thing, it was just too annoying. Product Review: Slow and obnoxious
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a slow slow SLOW thermometer that only has one decimal place (typically basal thermometers have two). However, the real killer is the beeping that it does while it's taking your temperature. Most people using this probably do so early in the mornings with with a partner in their bed and there is no way to quietly use this thing without disturbing him. Beeping when it's done would be one thing, but beeping repeatedly is just stupid. Moreover, it does have a light-up screen but it doesn't light up automatically! You have to press the button fast before the read-out disappears.
On the plus side, it has a memory feature, which is useful when you don't hit the button fast enough to light up the screen and have to check it later.
All in all, I would rather have just gotten a cheap regular thermometer from a drug store.
Product Review: Only records to the tenths place
Summary: 1 Stars
This is my third basal thermometer. The first was chewed up by my dog; the second, and current thermometer, is a Walgreen's brand and only beeps when it has reached the highest measured temperature. I wanted a thermometer that beeps continuously as it measures temperature so I purchased the BD basal thermometer from Amazon and was surprised to find that it did not record the hundredths place as my first two generic thermometers did, i.e. 98.2 instead of 98.26. I believe recording the hundredths place is the main function of a basal thermometer. Also, I found it to be rather inaccurate. My BBT, as measured from the first two thermometers, is a bit on the low side when I'm not ovulating (usually 97.xx), but this one continuously reads 98.x, and does not change throughout the day. Needless to say I am back to using the Walgreen's version.Product Review: good thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
This basal thermometer is good. It takes awhile to get the reading, but is accurate and allows great prediction of ovulation.Product Review: in retrospect...
Summary: 2 Stars
I read the reviews before buying,and thought that the beep wouldn't bother me much. I now wish I had gone for one that doesn't beep. Having a backlight feature with the final reading would have been great too. It isn't awful, but it is annoying. I used it about two weeks, but gave up.
